Ryebridge completes freight entrance works at Harwich International Port

Ryebridge Construction was awarded the contract to deliver the Port of Harwich Entrance works, secured by competitive tender in the middle of 2019. Works were completed ahead of target and to budget in early 2020.

The works included reprofiling and alterations to the entrance and roundabout, realignment of fence line, demolition of existing damage control unit, installing anti-collision measures around new building including bollards, trief kerbing, CCTV mast foundations.

The fundamental objective was to ensure that the works were successfully completed with no ongoing operational impact for the client. The existing freight entrance was adjacent to the new entrance and it was business critical that the main entrance and surrounding areas were kept operational.

Managing Director Daniel Coyle said, “it was an exciting first venture into Port projects with a great client. Clearly it is something that fits our skills and experience. This is an area we are keen to expand into and for the Port sector we can clearly give a level of capability and assurance which guarantees successful delivery.”
