Civil Engineering
Lancaster House and York House, two luxury properties in Orton on the Hill, faced unique drainage challenges due to the absence of mains drainage or open watercourses. JMS Midlands designed an innovative system using Groundwater Dynamics technology, which conveyed treated foul and surface water through pressure differentials to suitable ground at depth.
The brief
Finalist- ProCon Awards.
