Project Overview

Hayward Utility Services delivered the complete civil engineering package for a 7.5MW FlexGen (STOR) facility, providing the foundations and supporting infrastructure required for the installation of the generating equipment.

Our scope included reinforced concrete foundations, construction of the access road, acoustic and security fencing, underground ducting and drainage, delivering a fully prepared site ready for mechanical and electrical installation.

The Challenge

The project was delivered on a compact site where several contractors were working simultaneously throughout the construction programme.

Maintaining safety, productivity and programme required careful planning, clear communication and close day-to-day coordination between all parties. With limited working space and multiple activities taking place concurrently, effective sequencing of works was critical to keeping the project moving safely and efficiently.

Our Solution

Hayward worked collaboratively with the wider project team to plan and deliver the civil engineering works while maintaining a safe and organised working environment.

Through proactive communication, flexible planning and experienced site management, we coordinated our activities with other contractors to minimise disruption and maintain progress throughout the programme.

Our scope included:

  • Reinforced concrete foundations
  • Access road construction
  • Acoustic and security fencing
  • Underground ducting and drainage
  • Coordination of civil engineering activities within a constrained working environment

The Outcome

The project was successfully completed, delivering the civil infrastructure required to support the commissioning of the new 7.5MW FlexGen facility.

This project formed part of a series of repeat appointments delivering similar infrastructure across multiple sites, demonstrating our client’s confidence in Hayward’s ability to consistently deliver complex civil engineering projects safely, efficiently and to a high standard.
