GKL began work at Great Haddon in March 2026 as principal contractor for a surface water drainage and earthworks package.
The contract includes stripping and reinstating approximately 15,000m2 of topsoil as well as excavating over 19,000m2 to form the conveyance channel, with material handled and stockpiled on site.
GKL have installed a new 82.5m long reinforced-concrete pipe between the new East West Road. Formed from 1500mm internal-diameter sections, it will carry surface water away from the new housing site and into attenuation ponds. The work also includes installing precast headwalls as well as bedding and backfilling the drainage connections
At Great Haddon, GKL have also installed temporary fencing to protect great-crested newts during these building works.
