๐Ÿ›ฃ The new A585 Windy Harbour to Skippool bypass in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire was fully opened to traffic recently and it looks great!

Approximately three miles of new road has been constructed around the village of Little Singleton, bringing much-needed capacity to deliver smoother and more reliable journeys ๐Ÿš— ๐Ÿš™ ๐ŸšŒ ๐Ÿšš ๐Ÿš›

The bypass is reducing congestion and improving safety by removing a major bottleneck on the main road to Fleetwood and combating heavy traffic that builds during peak traffic hours ๐Ÿ•”

The Port Men in Sheds

Our Plant Operators Callum and Callum, have been busy helping the one of our local community schemes with shed building and painting.

For over 13 years, The Men in Sheds scheme has been a significant force in Ellesmere Port, in helping hundreds of older men combat the effects of loneliness and isolation often brought about through retirement and bereavement. National research has shown ‘Men in Sheds’ schemes have resulted in superior health outcomes for those affected by loneliness and isolation.

Help create a new 'Shed-Quarters' for The Port Men in Sheds...

Project: Central Rhyl Coastal Defences Scheme

What a fantastic effort through the bleak winter months!

The purpose of the scheme is to improve 2km of coastal flood defences in Central Rhyl to protect homes, businesses and the tourist economy from flooding events and coastal erosion well into the future.

The eastern section consists of 1 to 3 tonne rock scour protection to the foundations of the existing defences. The rock is mostly buried beneath the existing beach level and there will be new walkways constructed through the rocks to maintain beach access.

The western section consists of a new stepped revetment, raised and widened promenade and new seawall with improved access via steps and a ramp to the beach.

A huge well done to the Balfour Beatty plc  & D Morgan plc  site team, specialist sub-contractors and the wider supply chain for the progress made to date.

Project: Cilcain Reservoir

D Morgan were contracted to complete bulk earthworks activities in partnership with envolve infrastructure  on behalf of Dลตr Cymru Welsh Water  for the removal of two redundant reservoirs, which were drained and remodelled. Dams holding back water were removed or altered so that the site could be restored to how it may have looked in the 19th century.

The two redundant reservoirs were originally constructed in 1896 on Afon Nant Gain near Cilcain in the foothills of the Clwydian mountains.

Well done to all the specialist contractors involved, it looks great!

Project: Rivington Chase, Horwich
 
We have welcomed Civil Engineering students over four site visits from the The University of Bolton , to assist with their current Geotechnical Module.
 
Whilst on site, they were given an overall project brief by our Project Manager, Gary Miller and a presentation covering the Geotechnical works being undertaken by our specialist sub-contractor Vibro Menard , presented by their Regional Manager, Matthew Wood.
 
During the site tours, students witnessed ongoing works such as, piling mat installation, dynamic replacement (DC), controlled modulus columns (CMC) and prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs).

We are the Principal Contractor appointed to construct 1km of new road infrastructure. This new spine road will link Horwich with Middlebrook for the developing area of new housing and commercial property. There will be over 4 hectares of employment land in the south east corner of Rivington Chase to create new job opportunities.

Winter is Coming...

With winter approaching and the shorter days, there are increased hazards on construction sites, we have launched our annual ‘Winter is Coming’ Safety Campaign.

This campaign reminds everyone of the darker nights, impending cold weather and the necessary precautions we should all take to ensure we remain safe.

Let’s look out for each other this winter – THE D MORGAN WAY – Think Safety, Act Safely.
