Mainmark UK recently completed its 19th project with Equans, aiding efforts to deliver energy-efficient upgrades to social housing in Northampton as part of a broader carbon reduction initiative.
Working alongside Northamptonshire Partnership Homes, Equans has implemented various retrofit measures across the region to significantly improve the energy performance and EPC ratings of local social housing.
Mainmark's role has been to address foundational issues discovered in some properties, ensuring that decarbonisation upgrades can be safely and effectively applied. In a recent project in Weston Favell, Mainmark provided structural reinforcement for a property requiring 40 linear meters of underpinning. This stabilisation work was carried out using Mainmark's advanced Teretek® resin injection system, a minimally invasive solution designed to restore structural integrity efficiently, enabling essential energy-saving improvements to proceed.
David Hedley, infrastructure lead at Mainmark, said: "Working with Equans, we’ve delivered foundation stabilisation and underpinning to hundreds of metres of walls and structures across almost 20 projects. They’re a trusted partner of ours that we’re looking forward to continuing to work with.
"Through this partnership we’ve been able to facilitate improvements to some family homes in the area. Our non-invasive approach allows residents to continue living in their homes as undisturbed as possible, while we carry out essential work to help make a change in their lives for the better.
"Our Teretek® resin injection technology allows us to underpin and secure properties within two to three days. This ensures that once a home is identified as needing stabilisation, there is only a minimal delay before the larger project work can commence."
