AYR Holiday Park

Project overview

At AYR Holiday Park in St Ives, Cornwall, the project involved the construction of a durable concrete retaining wall solution alongside reinforced concrete slabs, designed to improve site stability and support long-term performance across the area.

The works included ground preparation, steel reinforcement, drainage considerations, concrete installation, and ATAL waterproofing details to help manage water ingress and protect the finished structure. The result was a robust, practical solution suited to the demands of a busy coastal holiday park environment.

The brief: the client required a strong and reliable retaining wall system capable of supporting the surrounding ground while providing a clean, long-lasting finish. Effective water management was also a key part of the project, ensuring the completed works would remain stable and resilient over time.

Our work: the project combined several key areas of construction expertise, including groundworks, reinforced concrete, retaining wall construction, drainage preparation, and waterproofing details.

Steel reinforcement was installed to strengthen the concrete structure, while carefully planned drainage measures helped control water movement around the retaining wall and slab areas. ATAL waterproofing details were incorporated to provide added protection and durability.

Project outcome: the completed works delivered a stable, hard-wearing retaining wall and concrete slab solution, designed to withstand long-term use and site conditions. With effective water management and a robust reinforced finish, the project provided a dependable structural improvement for the holiday park.

Project highlights: improved site stability with a reinforced retaining wall designed to support the surrounding ground; effective water management through drainage and ATAL waterproofing details; and a robust, long-term reinforced concrete finish suited to an active holiday park setting.
