Ashwood Business Park
Project Overview
Rainton Construction was appointed Principal Contractor to undertake 278 works to help expand Ashwood Business Park. The enabling works included access improvements, service supplies, earthworks, and landscaping to support new developments on Plots 5 and 6.
MGL Earthworks carried out bulk earthworks. Surfacing was undertaken by our in-house team and Tynedale Roadstone provided the material.
Scope of Works
The scope of works was as follows:
- Bulk earthworks, fencing and landscaping
- Forming three new entrances into new commercial developments, one of which was a new petrol station
- The construction of a new footpath and junctions
- Diverting existing services to the plots
- Applying an anti-slip layer to the existing roundabout
Challenges
Meticulous preparation and planning were essential for coordinating road closures and traffic management to minimise disruption. Our commitment to operational excellence was evident in our effective communication and collaboration with relevant stakeholders, including utility providers such as BT, NWL, Northern Powergrid, and Northern Gas Networks.
Summary
Works were completed on time and within budget, to the satisfaction of our client.
The 62-acre business park is at the heart of one of the North East’s strongest manufacturing clusters. We were delighted to support the client and facilitate growth and investment.
