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. Three new entrances were formed, new footpaths and junctions were constructed, and an anti-slip layer was applied to the existing roundabout.

MGL Earthworks carried out bulk earthworks. Surfacing was undertaken by our in-house team and Tynedale Roadstone provided the material.

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.
