Rouge Bouillon road closure

​About the project

A burst water main made the property at 28 Clarendon Road unsafe and the walls between it and 102/102A Rouge Bouillon. This is because water went through the ground and created empty spaces under the buildings and structures.

The situation is very complex. Many adjacent walls and buildings are badly cracked and have moved a lot.

We’re working with multiple stakeholders to make the area safe again: 

  • Jersey Water
  • structural engineers
  • building surveyors
  • loss adjustors
  • insurance companies

The team of professionals working on behalf of the property owners and their insurance companies provided a plan. This will stabilise the property and demolish the external walls:​

Step 1

Contractor working on behalf of the owner of 28 Clarendon Road will install steel strapping around the building.

Step 2

The structural engineers, assisted by geotechnical engineers, will investigate soil conditions under the foundations.

Step 3

The external structures and boundary walls will be demolished.

Step 4

When it’s safe, we will re-open Rouge Bouillon.
