2. THORNE GROUP THORESBY LAKE PHASE 1 Project Overview Earthworks : Recycling : Reclamation : Demolition : Dismantling Thorne were appointed Principal Contractor for the Thoresby Lake Phase 1 project which was undertaken within the tranquil settings of Thoresby Estate. The subsidence would lead to the lake bursting its banks and by-passing the man- made dam at the Eastern end. The Client, UK COAL, intended to open new coal workings beneath the lake which would subsequently be affected by up to 900mm of subsidence. The aim of the project was to raise and reprofile the Northern and Southern shores of the lake prior to the subsidence occurring. Located within the historic Thoresby Estate and a Grade 1 listed deer park, the site was under the close scrutiny of the Estate Trustees, English Heritage, English Nature, the Environment Agency & Hotel (located within Thoresby Hall) and was also designated as a SSSI. Close consultation between the interested parties and sympathetic project management were required to achieve a swift and efficient completion to the works on behalf of the Client.
