Project Overview:

A large-scale S278 highways and groundworks project for one of the UK's leading housebuilders. Kingsheath Construction was selected by Barratt Homes (Kent) to deliver the crucial first phase of the Spitfire Green development, a significant new community in Manston, Kent. This phase encompasses all enabling S278 works and the complete groundworks package for 178 new homes.

A Turnkey Solution for Large-Scale Residential Schemes

Our team is responsible for delivering the comprehensive infrastructure and foundational works for Phase 1 of this major development. The project scope demonstrates our capacity to handle complex, high-value contracts for major housebuilders.

Key services being delivered on this groundworks project include:

  • Section 278 (S278) Works: Execution of all off-site highway alterations required to facilitate access to the new development, managed and constructed to the specifications of the local highway authority.
  • Substructures: Construction of traditional trench-fill foundations for all 178 plots, providing the essential structural base for the new properties.
  • Roads and Sewers: Installation of extensive private and adoptable road networks and sewer systems, including deep drainage and main infrastructure connections.
  • Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS): Design and implementation of a comprehensive SuDS strategy to effectively manage surface water across the site.
  • External Works: All associated hard and soft landscaping, including plot-specific driveways, footpaths, and public open spaces, to ensure a high-quality external environment.

This project is a prime example of our role as a key groundworks project partner in Kent, delivering critical infrastructure and substructure works for flagship residential developments.
