SECTORS
Energy
To accommodate for the 500+ construction workers involved with the energy from waste plant, a new overflow car park with 128 spaces was required.

Working adjacent to a busy railway line.
Value engineering
Working with tight deadlines to ensure the car park was open in time for the main works, the team worked to a detailed plan to maximise efficiencies.
To create the new parking area from a tight, overgrown space, the team were chosen to undertake vegetation clearance, muck away, trim the ground to be on a gradient calculated by the Engineer, import stone and asphalt and install a drainage system made up of over 50m of drainage channels and a deep soak away.
