Transport Interchange, Rotherham Client: South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive
Hurworth School, Darlington Client: Hurworth School
The project was to provide access that met current design standards with an extended lifespan of both the bridge and car park by 60 years. The works involved the demolition of the existing bridge and the fabrication and fitting of a new bridge. Works within the car park involved the removal of damaged concrete and the re-filling and waterproofing. These activities were critical to the re-opening of the car park and so prior to the removal of the bridge, sufficient quantities of materials were delivered within the car park so that repairs could be carried out simultaneously to prevent delay.
The proposals aimed to maximise the parking facilities and improve the existing road surfaces. The project was split into three phases. Phase 1 Rear Car Park - repairs to the existing car park and to the section of damaged and collapsed pipework. Upon completion of the pipework repairs we made good the car park surface and a drainage survey completed to ensure the works had been successful. Phase 2 Front Car Park - new car park and parking zones created along with a new road and footpath. Phase 3 Side Car Park - the existing car park was increased in size through the conversion of existing grassed areas.

Transport Interchange, Rotherham
ÂŁ963,000 Client: South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive
The car park, ramp and bridge were built in the late 1960s and are situated above the main bus station next to the River Don. The aim of the scheme was to carry out refurbishment and major repairs to the elevated access ramps, internal car park together with the replacement of the access bridge structure. The works involved the demolition of the existing bridge and the fabrication and fitting of a new bridge whilst maintaining the travel operations in the SYPTE Bus Interchange below. The supporting pier foundations were assessed as being suitable to meet current requirements and were retained but required concrete repairs and strengthening works to bring them up to standard. To ensure the new bridge achieved a 60 year life span and in order to reduce the risk of corrosion to the existing reinforced concrete pier strengthening, a Cathodic protection system was installed. Due to the steep access profile, the client had previously instigated a salting regime that had contributed to accelerated corrosion.
We installed a trace heating system underneath the new road surface and within the concrete deck structure to prevent frost build up and remove the need for salting and the resulting corrosion and wear. Additional works for the car park were awarded and involved concrete repairs and waterproofing. Damaged concrete was broken out, refilled and waterproofed. These activities were critical to the re-opening of the car park and so prior to removal of the existing bridge, sufficient quantities of materials were delivered within the car park so that repairs to the car park and the bridge could be completed simultaneously to minimise delay to the car park opening. Health and Safety and Risk Mitigation This was of critical importance given the location of the works high above the River Don. We designed an independent scaffold crash deck which spanned the entire width of the river. This scaffold provided safe access and prevented debris falling into the river.
Contract Duration: 20 weeks Form of Contract: JCT Design and Build 2011
Prior to erecting the scaffold, analysis of bus movement paths was carried out within the bus interchange and a safe working zone was installed using fencing and water filled barriers which directed the buses safely past the scaffold and created designated transport and pedestrian routes.
The removal of the bridge was carried out by diamond-cutting through the reinforced concrete overlay, breaking free the shear stud locations so that the deck could be lifted out in panels rather than the usual technique of in situ demolition.
Public/Stakeholder Liaison
During the course of the project the client required a significant increase in the quantity of concrete repairs to be carried out within the existing multi storey car park (100%). We accelerated the works at short notice to mitigate the potential contract overrun and minimise the closure of the car park to the public.
Regular meetings were held with the bus companies to address any concerns they had about the project and the closure of the interchange lanes and to ensure they were fully informed of progress. The client was heavily involved throughout the project with weekly meetings to discuss progress and upcoming phases. Challenges Overcome Although the bridge itself was in very poor condition, the bridge deck removal proved one of the major issues to manage. The assessment of load capacity indicated that large machinery could not be supported during demolition.
Added Value
The existing concrete piers which supported the ramp and the bridge were initially earmarked as being demolished and rebuilt. This would have been costly in both time and the closure of the car park to local residents. We worked with our designers to offer a system which involved concrete repairs, an additional reinforced concrete skin and Cathodic Protection which shortened the construction period considerably.
Catalyst Car Park Extension, York
£66,000 Client: University of York
In 2012, our works to York University involved the construction of a car park however, since it’s construction, the car park had become insufficient for the volume of cars. An extension to the car park was required to serve the University’s Catalyst Building. Works involved the Design and Build construction of a porous car park which provided an extra 40 spaces. Works included a top soil strip, excavation and the formation of a bund along the edge of the car park using the excavated material. Ground consisted of made ground which was mostly topsoil mixed with brick and clay. Type 1 material was imported to the site which was spread, leveled and compacted to formation level. We then installed ‘Bodpave’ plastic cellular porous plastic paving which was then pinned to secure the material. Marker Blocks were used to demarcate parking bays. Existing street lighting was modified as we removed the single head lamps and replaced them with double heads.
Health and Safety and Risk Mitigation As the works were not directly connected to the original car park, diversions were not needed. However, diversions with clear signage for footpaths leading to the Catalyst Building and all access roads were put in place. Performance to Programme The works were completed on time and handed back to the client within budget. Sustainability All material retrieved during excavation was kept on-site. We reused and altered existing street lights rather than completing a full replacement. The removed single head lanterns were transported and reused on another site by our subcontractors. Prior to commencement, Bird surveys were completed on-site due to the presence of Nesting Birds in the area however, none were found.
Catalyst Car Park Extension, York
Contract Duration: 4 weeks Form of Contract: JCT Design and Build 2011
Value Engineering The client requested that the car park was made of grass pavers, however, we suggested using “Bodpave” with a gravel filled surface for ease of use and maintenance. Gravel was installed underneath the Bodpave to allow for thinner construction and to strengthen works. This technique has saved the client money and increased the life of the car park. Added Value As part of our investment in the communities in which we work, we have an established school training programme (Esh Employability) which engages with schools and colleges, enriching the curriculum and preparing young people for the world of work whilst still in full time study. Esh Employability is an ongoing commitment which over the course of the 2013/14 academic year will engage with 32 schools and some 6,200 students within our operational areas. Over the course of an entire academic year learners eyes are opened to the world of work by real business people.
Students are provided with support while they create their ‘employability portfolio’, complete a professional CV and schooled in interview and presentations skills via employability workshops, business mentoring and mock interview experiences. The works such as this project enables us to continue with this investment and in 2014, will have delivered the programme within Archbishop Holgate’s School (Hull Road, York) to 320 students which represents a total of 1280 learner hours. Innovation Type 1 material is a free draining material that maintained loading requirements. Public and Stakeholder Liaison One meeting was held with the client to discuss works. However, routine Health and Safety meetings and Toolbox Talks were held on-site between all workers. York University informed students of works and diversions on our behalf.
