Description

The Council is procuring a contract to undertake the
reconstruction of a section of retaining wall at Lancaster
Street, Carlisle. O.S. grid Co-ordinates 340443E; 555372N.
The works require a section of retaining wall approximately
27m in length and 1.5m in height of retaining wall to be taken
down and reconstructed/ realigned as indicated on drawing
Dwg-01-Lancaster Street RW. The existing stone is to be set
aside for re-use and where replacement stone is required it
must match the surrounding masonry as closely as possible.
The existing parapet railings are to be refurbished and
reinstalled. The perforated drainage pipe behind the retaining
wall is to be connected to the existing gully. The cobbled
surface on Lancaster Street is to be reinstated to existing
levels.
Cumberland Council have arranged a GPR survey to be
undertaken to accurately locate services and the report will be
shared with the contractor.
A road closure permit for Lancaster Street and Crown Street
to complete the works has been obtained by Cumberland
Council. The closure commences on Monday 10th March
2025 for a duration of up to 6 weeks concluding Thursday
17th April 2025.
A key objective is to limit disruption to local residents,
businesses and members of the public during the works, any
road closures should be kept to a minimum.
The Contractor shall also be responsible for procuring and
managing all traffic management, which is to be agreed upon
with the Employer's Highway Network Manager.
