Location: Location: Newport, South Wales
Service: Landscape Architecture
A vital piece of active travel infrastructure over the Great Western mainline in a City Centre location that incorporates SuDS and a new plaza.
The Challenge
The challenge was to translate and update the concept design for the plaza and integrate into it a new SuDS strategy. Key challenges included the refinement of site levels, integration of a tree pit and attenuation system (in limited subterranean space), coordination with paving suppliers and preparing a planting design for spaces with limited light and direct rainfall.
