O’Brien Contractors have been awarded an enabling contract on the project in Dudley next to the zoo. The works which are being carried out for Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council are in preparation for the proposed construction of the Very Light Railway Innovation Centre to allow for the future alignment of the Metro Line.
O’Brien will be acting as Principal Contractor on the project which will be carried out over a 35 week programme.
Our works involve the construction of a 150 metre long retaining wall which will be up to 11 metres high and will also involve associated bulk earthworks.
The client was looking for a contractor who could deliver creative solutions to provide an affordable scheme in line with their programme.
The client also required a company with a robust supply chain procurement.
Having traded for over 60 years we have developed our supply chain to provide our business with the service required to meet our commitments to our clients. With long term trading relationships with suppliers of construction materials, aggregates, concrete, muckaway and recycling companies, we are able to select the most suitable option for each specific contract and operation which may not always be based on price, factors such as quality and performance also need to be considered.
