Project Overview:

WHL Projects undertook the full installation of a showhome holiday lodge at a new holiday park in York. The project involved comprehensive planning and execution to ensure the seamless placement of the lodge, including enabling works, new foundations, road access works, and coordination of crane operations. The lodge, comprising two sections, was assembled on-site and bolted together to create a luxurious 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom accommodation with an open-plan kitchen/dining room. WHL Projects managed various challenges such as building a temporary road and crane pad, conducting CBR tests for road suitability, designing foundations for load points, and mitigating obstructions from underground and high-level cables to ensure a safe and efficient installation process.

Project Details:

1. Enabling Works: Prior to the installation, WHL Projects conducted enabling works to prepare the site for the arrival and placement of the holiday lodge. This included site clearance, excavation, and levelling to create a suitable foundation for the lodge.

2. New Foundations: Custom foundations were designed and installed to support the load points of the holiday lodge. WHL Projects conducted thorough assessments and calculations to ensure the stability and integrity of the foundations, considering factors such as soil composition and load distribution.

3. Road Access Works: To facilitate access for crane operations and transportation of the lodge sections, WHL Projects constructed a new road within the holiday park. This involved road design, grading, and surfacing to accommodate heavy machinery and ensure safe passage for vehicles.

4. Temporary Road and Crane Pad: In preparation for the crane lift, WHL Projects built a temporary road and crane pad to provide stable ground for the crane and prevent soil compaction or damage to the surrounding area during installation.

5. Crane Operations: Coordination of crane operations was crucial for the successful placement of the lodge sections. WHL Projects managed the logistics of crane scheduling, positioning, and lifting, adhering to strict safety protocols to prevent accidents and ensure smooth execution.

6. Utility Management: WHL Projects navigated potential obstacles from underground utilities and high-level cables during installation. Measures were implemented to identify and mitigate risks, including careful planning of crane placement and installation routes to avoid interference with existing infrastructure.

7. Safety Measures: Safety was paramount throughout the project, with WHL Projects implementing comprehensive safety measures such as overhead cable management, site signage, and personnel training to create a safe working environment for all involved.

Conclusion:

The successful installation of the showhome holiday lodge by WHL Projects at the new holiday park in York demonstrates their expertise in managing complex construction projects. Through meticulous planning, innovative solutions, and rigorous safety protocols, WHL Projects ensured the seamless placement of the lodge while overcoming various challenges. The completed lodge stands as a testament to quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, offering visitors a luxurious and comfortable retreat in the picturesque setting of the holiday park.
