Nissan Link Road
Project Overview
Rainton Construction was appointed as the principal contractor to construct a new link road for Nissan in Sunderland to support site logistics and alleviate factory and industrial estate congestion.
Our in-house team completed the road surfacing using materials supplied by Tynedale Roadstone.
Innovation
Our work included an innovative drainage installation with headwalls, a hydro-break chamber, 900mm diameter perforated pipes, and small drainage. A swale lined with an innovative BBA-certified Concrete Canvas solution prevented weed growth, silt generation, and erosion, reducing the client’s long-term maintenance requirements and costs. The road was designed with a cross fall to allow water to run off the road and enter the swale and 900mm diameter perforated pipes.
Summary
Nissan plays a vital role in the regional economy, supporting over 7,000 jobs in the North East. We are proud to enhance lean manufacturing operations. The works were completed on time, and our proposal for value engineering led to cost savings.
