New Aldi, Olney

The Challenges

Earthworks Package: No earthworks were required on this job. JB Construction 1 were handed a site in which the cut & fill had been completed. There was a variation in which we assisted with regarding the building platform not been suitable for construction. An operation that saw us remove and remediate 1000m3 of material in the building platform area.

Project Details:

The limited space and storage capacity on-site presented another considerable challenge. With a tight footprint and restrictions on material storage, JBC implemented a just-in-time delivery strategy. This involved precise scheduling and coordination with suppliers to ensure materials arrived exactly when needed, minimizing on-site clutter and maximizing efficiency. Construction teams worked in a highly synchronized manner, adhering to a rigorous timeline that left no room for delays or mishaps.

The Aldi store itself embodies thoughtful and sustainable design elements, featuring carparks with a combination of permeable and non-permeable parking bays. This configuration aids in effective water management, reducing runoff and promoting groundwater recharge. Walkways were installed to ensure smooth pedestrian movement, while large landscaped areas enhanced the store’s aesthetic appeal and provided a pleasant environment for shoppers.

JBC’s handling of the variation regarding the unsuitable building platform is particularly noteworthy. The remediation of the 1,000 cubic meters of material not only ensured a solid foundation for the store but also showcased the team’s problem-solving skills and resourcefulness. They employed advanced engineering techniques and machinery to execute the removal and treatment of the material, aligning with the project’s environmental and structural requirements.

Throughout the build, JBC maintained a continuous dialogue with local authorities and heritage conservation bodies to ensure that their operations met

both contemporary construction standards and heritage preservation guidelines. This proactive communication facilitated a transparent and collaborative environment, ensuring that all stakeholders were well-informed and any concerns were promptly addressed.
