New Waitrose Store in Jesmond Complete
The new Waitrose store in Jesmond, Newcastle-upon-Tyne is now complete. The £340,000 ground works and civils development was undertaken for client RG Group.
The size of the site and interfacing with other contractors, led to constricted working conditions. However, this was managed to ensure the project was completed within the 16 week programme period.
Works incorporated drainage, ducting, concrete ground beams and isolated foundation bases, sub-base and gas membrane to ground floor slabs, lift shaft and stairwell base construction, suspended concrete floors, high specification paving, minor 278 street works, together with the installation of bollards and street furniture and footpath construction.
This is another addition to CHC’s expanding retail development portfolio, following the recent completion of the ASDA Superstore in Birkenhead.
The new store officially opened its doors to the public on Wednesday 2nd November.
Construction of New Recycling Centre Underway in Kirkby
CHC has commenced with the construction of a new Household Waste Recycling Centre in Kirkby for client Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority.
The new HWRC will have the capacity to receive up to 15,000 tonnes of householders’ waste and recyclable materials each year.
An increased number of larger containers, more space on site for cars and the provision of an overhead weather-protection canopy, will make it more convenient for members of the public to dispose of recyclable and waste items.
This is also CHC’s first CEEQUAL assessed project. A scheme that recognises and prioritises environmental considerations such as protection of the local ecology and landscape, minimising the use of raw materials, water and energy, pollution prevention and control, together with waste minimisation and management.
The £1.1million project is scheduled to open in spring 2012.
New ASDA Superstore in Birkenhead Complete
CHC has completed construction work on the new ASDA Superstore in Birkenhead.
The nine month £2.7million development project for RG Group/Goldbeck has incorporated groundworks, enabling works and undercroft car park construction.
The remaining scope of works included bulk earthworks, drainage, waterproofing systems, groundworks to the multi-storey car park, lift shaft and travelator base construction, overhead pedestrian bridge link construction, extensive concrete works including ground beams, retaining walls, isolated columns bases and access ramp, together with tarmac surfacing, road markings, street furniture and bollards.
The store will be officially open to the public at 10am on Tuesday 1st November.
Arrival of First Wind Turbine at Marr Wind Farm
The first wind turbine tower has arrived on site at the Marr Wind Farm project in Doncaster.
Four turbines in total will make up the scheme, with each one taking up to three days to erect. The remaining turbines will be delivered to site before 14th October.
Marr Wind Farm is located to the west of junction 37 of the A1. When fully operational it will have an installed capacity of up to 12MW and generate enough power to meet the energy requirements of up to 6,700 homes.
This is the first renewable energy project for CHC. Works include local authority liaison, planning finalisation, design and construction for the civil and electrical engineering works and CDM supervision of the turbine delivery and installation.
Works are currently on programme and the wind farm is scheduled to be operational by early 2012.
