Our work connects communities, builds a better future and transforms and maintains the places where we live, work and relax.
Below are just some of our projects.
The Strand is one of Liverpool’s busiest roads, running parallel to the River Mersey and passing many of the city’s most recognisable landmarks including the Liver Buildings and Royal Albert Docks.
The project proposes extensive redevelopment of the highway to improve links and refocus efforts on making walking and cycling the predominant mode of travel throughout the city centre.
Considered one of the largest improvement projects carried out for Northern Ireland Water (NI Water) in recent years, the Drumaroad Water Treatment Works scheme provides benefits for over a quarter of Northern Ireland’s population.
The project involved the design and delivery of a new Clear Water Basin (CWB), including a new interstage pump station, valve chamber and connection pipework. With a capacity of 36 million litres, the water storage tank is equivalent to 14 Olympic sized swimming pools and serves the existing Drumaroad and Chapel Hill water pumping stations.
Since May 2019, we have been responsible for the provision of Building Maintenance Services across the University of Leeds’s residential estate – one of the “largest university residential portfolios” in the UK.
Covering 132 buildings, varying from heritage sites to new builds, our multi-skilled operations team delivers Hard FM Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) and Reactive Maintenance Requirements. : In addition, we also complete larger minor works projects.
Categorised as a “Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project”, we delivered the new multi-million pound port terminal – Tilbury2. The Port of Tilbury, regarded as the UK’s fastest growing port, provides “fast, modern distribution services” for the benefit of the “south east of England and beyond”.
Our construction programme, on land at the former Tilbury Power Station at the north bank of the River Thames, created the “UK’s largest unaccompanied freight ferry port” and the “country’s biggest construction processing hub”.
This project for Cheshire West and Cheshire Council, was to deliver a state-of-the-art new bus station, as a gateway to Chester, including all associated public realm works. Located within the Chester City Conservation area, it incorporated an enclosed terminus, canopy, retail space, and café.
The horseshoe-shaped design provides better integration between bus services and the rail station alongside improved linkages to pedestrian and cycle routes along the Shropshire Union Canal. Accommodation includes 14 boarding/alighting areas with seating, real-time passenger information screens, managers office, toilets including disabled, drivers room, cleaners store, CCTV, a coffee shop with internal and external seating, newsagent and a green roof.
An intricately planned maintenance scheme, the Pontypridd Retaining Wall project involved the stabilisation of a 70m long and 7.5m high section of an existing failed retaining wall. At its closest point, our works programme was undertaken just 2.3m from the live railway line on the south side of Pontypridd Railway Station (South Wales).
In addition to strengthening adjacent sections of the steep railway embankment, we also reconstructed the existing drainage channels and pipework, and conducted repairs to the signals and telecoms cable toughing.
With mathematical precision, we completed the extensive upgrade of Queen Mary University of London’s (QMUL) School of Mathematical Sciences Building. Located at QMUL’s Mile End Campus, the £12m refurbishment and extension project has provided 3,652m2 of academic accommodation, optimised existing space and improved the relationship between buildings in the campus realm.
We also built a vibrant new communal area that allows students to socialise and congregate for special events. Aptly, given QMUL’s reputation as a worldleading research-focused institute, the building is adorned with a never-ending mathematical equation across 14 floors of its cladding.
