Project Overview
Vista successfully took over and completed a long-stalled Section 278 infrastructure scheme, bringing it to full adoption with the London Borough of Wandsworth - all within six weeks and on a fixed-cost basis with no extras.
Works Involved
Project Highlights
- Restarted and completed a 7-year-old legacy scheme, enabling the overdue bond to be discharged and reducing client liability
- Installed a raised table at the development entrance, with new kerb lines, tactile crossings, drainage alterations, and reinstated footpaths and grass verges
- Delivered a fully compliant, safer junction for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles
Site Challenges
Stakeholder & Project Management Excellence
Operating on a busy main road near two schools, we developed and implemented a comprehensive traffic management plan to maintain safety and flow.
We coordinated with Transport for London to manage bus stop relocations and route changes and ensured continuous communication with residents through regular updates and a dedicated contact point.
Our hands-on, problem-solving approach removed client involvement in day-to-day issues, resolved design challenges quickly, and secured first-time sign-off from the adopting authority.
