Client: Braybrook Ltd

Location: Biggleswade, Bedfordshire
Approximate Value: £250k

Start Date & Duration: 13/02/23- 9 weeks.

Description of the works (Scope):

This project was to install a new toilet block built onto the side of Biggleswade train station in Kent. This was a new build and consisted of installing all the new supplies, drainage and soak aways.

Difficulties to overcome:

The actual build of the toilet was done behind barriers but there was major works going on along side us installing a new bus route and parking areas so had to work with another contractor especially when planning deliveries etc, but the main challenge weas installing the drainage and soak aways within the current station car park which was open and used at all times, this meant meticulous planning with the station and local authority to compile a workable traffic plan that enabled us to close certain sections of the car park off at a time to complete our works in stages. We also had to connect to existing drainage runs were there was not much in the way of service drawings available.

The station is also listed so the new building had to meet heritage criterial, we worked closely with the designers to meet these expectations.
