To support the completion of a new treatment building and associated car park at Weston Park Hospital, Henry Boot Construction commissioned a comprehensive civils package as part of the external development works.
Stockton Group was appointed to deliver the civil engineering scope, undertaking retaining structures, drainage installations, surfacing, utility connections, and external finishing works. The project required precise planning and flexible delivery to overcome steep site levels, restricted access, and constrained city-centre working conditions.
The Teesside Gasport project was a landmark project in the UK’s energy infrastructure, enabling the importation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) via the River Tees. Delivered as part of a fast-track programme for Excelerate Energy, it required precision engineering and reliable delivery to meet strict operational deadlines.
Stockton Group was contracted to deliver a 1km Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) river crossing for a high-pressure gas pipeline, alongside associated fibre optic control systems, as a critical path element of the wider Gasport development.
The Rutland Mills and Tileyard North regeneration is one of the most significant heritage-led development projects in the North of England, set to transform ten acres of Wakefield’s historic riverside into a major cultural destination. As part of the wider masterplan, City & Provincial Properties commissioned a complex civils and river infrastructure package to protect the site from future flood events and unlock the next
Stockton Group was appointed as principal contractor to deliver the works, undertaking flood defence structures, river engineering, drainage infrastructure, reinforced concrete works, and associated repairs to existing buildings. The project required specialist planning, environmental approvals from the Environment Agency and the Canal & Rivers Trust, and innovative construction methods to safely deliver works both on land and within the River Calder.
New fire protection cladding was needed for the exterior of Manor and Trinity House in Wakefield, as part of a high-rise building safety upgrade.
As part of the external wall insulation (EWI) programme Kier Construction commissioned a specialist civils package to support the installation of this cladding.
Stockton Group was appointed to deliver the civil engineering scope, undertaking the site preparation, setting out, reinforced concrete works, and external enabling works. The project required careful logistical planning and close stakeholder coordination to maintain public access while working within live bus lanes and busy pedestrian routes.
The Shapinsay subsea pipeline project in the Orkney Islands represents a critical infrastructure upgrade aimed at providing a reliable, long-term water supply to one of Scotland’s remote island communities.
Delivered for Scottish Water, the scheme involved installing a subsea pipeline between mainland Orkney and the island of Shapinsay, ensuring a secure and improved water source following declining water quality on the island.
At just under 2km in length, the crossing is believed to be the longest land-to-land, subsea, directionally drilled utility pipeline in the UK.
Stockton Group was brought in use our drilling expertise to work through difficult geological conditions, while meeting the challenges of working in a remote environment.
The River Corrib crossing in Galway forms a critical part of the infrastructure works associated with Galway Wind Park, Ireland’s largest onshore wind farm, which produces enough renewable energy to power approximately 140,000 Irish homes annually.
Located within a highly sensitive environmental area and adjacent to structures of national importance, the project required a carefully engineered trenchless solution to ensure zero disruption to both the surrounding environment and nearby heritage assets. Conventional open-cut methods were not viable due to environmental restrictions, the need to protect the river ecosystem, and the risk of structural impact to nearby heritage sites.
Stockton Group was engaged by GMC to deliver a 350m Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) solution beneath the River Corrib. Our role was to design and execute a fully controlled trenchless crossing that would eliminate risk to the environment, maintain structural integrity of surrounding assets, and ensure precise installation over a long-distance bore.
The Morlais project, delivered by Menter Môn, is a pioneering tidal stream initiative off the coast of Holy Island, Anglesey, designed to generate low-carbon electricity while supporting local communities and economic growth. Spanning a 35 km² seabed area, the site has the potential to produce up to 240 megawatts of renewable energy, positioning Anglesey (Ynys Môn) as a key player in the UK’s energy transition.
A critical subsea infrastructure was required to connect offshore tidal devices to the onshore grid, which presented a complex landfall challenge in a sensitive coastal environment. Conventional trenching methods were not viable due to environmental constraints, coastal conditions, and the need to minimise disruption. A fully trenchless approach was required.
Stockton Group was engaged by Menter Môn to deliver 5 x 550m Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) landfalls and, as Principal Contractor, to take full responsibility for planning, managing, monitoring, and coordinating the entire construction phase.
Robin Rigg was Scotland’s first offshore wind farm, comprising 60 turbines with a total generating capacity of 180MW. The development required two 132kV export cables to connect the offshore substations to the onshore electricity distribution network near Workington, Cumbria.
Stockton Group was appointed by E.ON Climate & Renewables UK to design and deliver an 800m Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) landfall installation beneath environmentally sensitive coastal and railway infrastructure, forming part of the critical grid connection works.
To support the construction of a new driving test centre in Kingstanding, Kier Construction commissioned a full civils works package as part of the site development.
Stockton Group was appointed to deliver the civil engineering scope, undertaking drainage infrastructure, foundations, reinforced concrete works, and hard and soft landscaping. The project required careful sequencing and technical problem-solving to overcome ground level constraints and groundwater challenges while maintaining programme delivery.
To support the expansion of facilities at Allerton Grange School in Leeds, a new extension and associated car park infrastructure was commissioned as part of a wider development led by Tilbury Douglas.
Stockton Group was appointed to deliver a range of civils works, undertaking a comprehensive scope of works including substructures, drainage, reinforced concrete, and full construction of the car park. The project required a coordinated, multi-disciplinary approach to ensure safe, compliant, and timely delivery within a live educational environment.
