Lymedale Cross, Newcastle Under Lyme
Main Contractor: Tolent Construction
Main Contract Value: £19 Million
ACP Contract Value: £228,000
ACP Engineering (Wrexham) Ltd's role was to provide:
- Palisade Fencing
- Paladin Fencing
- Accoustic Fencing
- Internal Stainless Steel Staircase
- External Emergency Staircase
- Barriers & bollards Canopies
- Small steel frame
- Site fabrication & welding
The contract itself spanned approximately 12 months. ACP was required to supply the majority of their services between September and November 2007. Due to the sheer volume of work, careful planning was required in order to ensure the project was completed on time and on budget.
Having worked for this main contractor on a number of other fabrication projects ACP was fully aware they would be expected to be self-organised and give a 1st class service. ACP's project manager took control of everything including liaising with the architects, structural engineers, site engineers and civil workers. This gave the main contractor one less area to worry about and subsequently they found our service extremely beneficial.
Staircase
Free
standing 2 storey stair case fully enclosed. Welded concrete pan
stringers and stainless balustrade and handrail. The staircase was
primed and painted and the treads later carpeted.
This staircase is inside the warehouse and our UNIC 376 mini-crane was ideal for the job as we were unable to get a large crane on the new floor.

Fencing

Much of the site was not ready for the fencing until nearer the end of the contract. ACP were presented with the usual situations of underground services, access requirements by the contractors, extra fencing ordered later by the client.
There were approximately 1.5 miles of various types of fencing
to erect including Paladin, Palisade & Accoustic as well as gates to build. Once again, we succeeded in our role
and everything was completed with a few days to spare.
