Port of Blyth
Project Overview
Rainton Construction has completed the development, construction, and commissioning of a car park, drainage systems, and ductwork for purpose-built facilities at the Port of Blyth. These works were delivered as part of the development of the Bates Clean Energy Terminal.
The office with on-site storage will be a management hub for the vessels and logistics during the construction phase of an offshore wind farm and will play a vital role in the project’s successful completion. The port will retain the facilities once construction is completed.
Scope of Works
The scope of works was as follows:
- Earthworks/regrading of existing ground
- Construction of concrete slabs
- Access roads and car parking, including footways
- Associated drainage and ducting
Sustainability
Our in-house surfacing team paved the 3000m² car park using a single layer sustainable material provided by Tynedale Roadstone. Plastipave has significant environmental benefits, saving 14.84 tonnes of CO2 and diverting the equivalent of 9,243 plastic milk cartons from landfill.
Summary
We are proud to be part of the clean energy revolution in Blyth. This significant UK development further cements the region’s position as a global centre for the Renewable Sector.
