The challenge

This was not just a damaged wall. It was a boundary between a live army base and civilian accommodation.

That made timing, safety and site control critical from the start. The team needed to manage the reconstruction carefully, while making sure security standards were maintained throughout the works.

The location also meant additional security clearances were required for all operatives before they could work on site.

Alongside this, the programme had to be delivered outdoors during a difficult time of year. Poor weather created a daily challenge, while multiple trades needed to be coordinated safely and efficiently within a strict sequence of works.

Our approach

We planned the work around control, coordination and pace.

A clear programme of works helped sequence activity properly, minimise disruption to members of the public and keep the site operating safely around the live army base.

The team coordinated structural input, stonemasonry and scaffolding so the rebuild could move forward without unnecessary delay. Security requirements were managed before and during the works, helping ensure the right people had the right access at the right time.

This reflects how Elect works across sensitive environments: understanding the setting, respecting the restrictions and keeping practical delivery moving.

The outcome

The wall was reconstructed ahead of the required deadline.

Public access around the site was secured again, and the damaged area caused by the wall collapse was cleared and made safe.

The finished works restored an important boundary, improved the appearance of the army base and helped remove a potential security risk from a live operational environment.
