With the Grand Prix weekend fast approaching, O’Brien Contractors Ltd are pleased to confirm completion of a £1.3 million enabling works package for MEPC at Silverston Park, neighbouring the world-famous Silverstone Racing circuit.
MEPC are a British-based imaginative developer that provides dynamic long-term stewardship and the creation of transformational places with the future in mind. It was a privilege to give MEPC the green flag through the delivery of their project on time, and mitigate challenges associated with one of the wettest winters on record.
In line with our consistent commitment to ESG from project inception to post completion: 22,000m3 of stockpiled soil from previous construction projects was utilised within landscaped bunds to minimise disposal of spoil to landfill. 450 new trees were planted, 500m of hedging was placed and 13,500m2 of wild grass meadow was dispersed.
In addition, communication and dialogue with the general public ahead of, and during the works, was crucial, as many had used the land previously for dog walking. Routes around the site were maintained and work areas were effectively secured to ensure the enjoyment and safety of the public.
