Ryebridge was awarded the contract to deliver the Car Park extension, secured by competitive tender. Ryebridge has over ten years’ experience working in restrictive operationally constrained environments such as airports and this experience was invaluable in successfully delivering this project. The fundamental objective was to ensure that the works were successfully completed with no operational impact for the client. The Police Station and offices were in constant use and ensuring no operations were in any way effected were essential to success.
Experience of working with specific responsibilities in a phased project meant we were ideally placed to successfully deliver our works on-time and to budget. Best practice gained from working in an airside environment where public and client movement is critical in terms of safety and security was employed throughout. Clear signage and walkways were in place and all deliveries and works traffic were managed around the needs of the station and surrounding areas. For the duration of the project the Police Station and other buildings remained operationally sound. The construction of the new car park facility as mentioned was to be delivered in a phased manner and released back to the client for their use on sectional completion. This, along with the demands of working in a secure and sensitive environment, required an open collaborative approach towards delivering the project. The project also presented a challenge with regards to programming with a minimal mobilisation period and a requirement from the client to gain possession as early as possible to release the pressure on the existing parking facility.
