Gateshead MSCP
Rainton Construction collaborated with Willmott Dixon to support the extensive regeneration of the Baltic Quarter of Gateshead. This project is a fantastic example of how value is created through collaborative partnerships while working on a crucial piece of the Newcastle Gateshead Quays infrastructure.
We have received positive feedback, and our team was recognised for going above and beyond, taking pride in their work, and continuing to commit to health, safety, and quality. This was recognised by the client, and we were awarded North East Works Partner of the Year and Highly Commended for Sustainability at their Supply Chain Awards 2023.
Scope of works
- Reinforced concrete foundations and walls
- Ground floor slab
- Waterproofing/Gas proofing
- External works
- Drainage including bypass separator tank, attenuation tank and flow control manholes
MGL Earthworks also supported this project by removing spoil from the site and installing a piling mat. Tynedale Roadstone provided the materials, and this was laid by our in-house surfacing team. Half of the road to provide better access and a cleaner storage area for materials.
Our approach has been underpinned by sustainable practices and driving social value to enhance opportunities for local people. We continue to support the client’s ‘Now or Never Sustainability Strategy’ by investing in environmental projects to balance out our carbon footprint. For a planned period within the programme, we have offset 27 tCO2e through verified carbon reduction projects and planting trees in North East, helping to combat climate change and sustain our environment for future generations.
To align with National Apprenticeships and maximise social value, we welcomed students and teachers from Derwentside College to the site to learn more about the project and our involvement and to inspire the future generation to progress a career in the construction industry.
