Project Overview
Our works involved the civil and structural design and build of all of the foundations for this 7.5MW gas peaking plant, including construction of an access road, security fencing, ducting, drainage and footpaths.
Clearing and Preparing the Site
This was a brownfield site located in the middle of a busy industrial estate. Prior to starting the civils work, we undertook a site clearance exercise to remove a large amount of vegetation that had grown across the site over a number of years.
The site was also underlain by a large amount of existing services, which had to be carefully worked around in order to prevent any incidents and to ensure that the proposed development could be built in accordance with the approved plans.
Managing the Wider Works
Acting as principal contractor, we carried out our own contracted civils balance-of-plant works and oversaw the safe and effective implementation of other contractors’ works within Conrad’s supply chain, on their behalf.
Key Achievements
- Extensive site clearance and vegetation removal ahead of construction
- Existing services carefully identified and protected
- Full civils balance-of-plant package delivered as principal contractor
- Safe coordination of the wider supply chain on the client’s behalf
