REINFORCED CONCRETE FOUNDATION WORKS
The works involved construction of ten reinforced concrete pad foundations to support the temporary scaffolding structures required for the external cladding installation. Each foundation required excavation, installation of polythene membranes, shuttering, reinforcement placement, and concrete pours within highly constrained working areas.
Careful sequencing ensured the works progressed safely while maintaining access for the public and surrounding businesses throughout.
SITE LOGISTICS AND ACCESS MANAGEMENT
The town centre location meant deliveries, site access, and material movements required detailed coordination at every stage of the project.
Works were carried out within live bus lanes and public footpaths, with permits obtained from Wakefield Council and highways authorities to ensure safe and compliant execution.
HEALTH, SAFETY AND STAKEHOLDER COORDINATION
Maintaining public access at all times was a critical project requirement. Stockton worked closely with Kier Construction, local stakeholders, and regulatory bodies to implement safe working systems and traffic management measures.
Regular team briefings and external HSEQ audits ensured full compliance with health and safety procedures throughout the project, supporting successful completion within the eight-week programme.
