I ham unsure what these black plastic things are properly called - the labourers were calling them "beer crates". They are used in the sandy subsoil, interlocked with clips, to provide some sort of structure beneath the paved areas of the new car parks around this building. I believe they might be what is known as Attenuation cells, (also known as Storm Cells, Soakaway Modules, and Storm Crates), designed to form a soakaway.
