Project Overview
Client: Sir Robert McAlpine
Project Name: TQA1 Bristol University Campus
Location: Bristol
Engineer: Buro Happold
Sector: Educational
Project Value: £21M
Project Period: 191 weeks
Following on from us carrying out the Enabling Work package directly for The University of Bristol, we won the groundworks package for the main works with Sir Robert McAlpine, off the back of a 12 month PCSA period.
The site is very complex featuring river frontage, working alongside major railway lines, excavating, stockpiling, testing and disposal of contaminated ground, and dealing with contaminated groundwater, all in line with our environmental and sustainability obligations.
During the PCSA period we attended multiple design workshops working closely with Buro Happold and Heidelberg, the specified concrete supplier.
