  • Client: North East Lincolnshire Council
  • Location: Little Coates Road, Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire
  • Value: £1.35m
  • Period: November 2020 – May 2021

GENERAL OVERVIEW

As part of North East Lincolnshire Council’s (NELC) annual maintenance programme, we secured the package of works to construct a new and improved roundabout. The scope of works consisted of resurfacing works around various road sections including: the new B1444 roundabout, Little Coates Road and the A1136. The works consisted of:

  • Site clearance works
  • Installation of timber fencing
  • Installation of a vehicle restraint system
  • Manhole and drainage pipework
  • Bulk earthworks
  • Carriageway planning and resurfacing
  • High friction resin anti-skid surfacing treatment
  • Precast concrete kerbing, channels, and edgings
  • High containment kerbing
  • Full depth footway construction
  • Installation of new traffic signals, signs, and road markings
  • Landscaping works

CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS

There were many levels challenges on site and the scheme was on a busy urban location on Little Coates Road which is adjacent to a school.  The surfacing was carried out over a series of evenings to keep disruption to a minimum and this required complex traffic management as works needed to be tied into the existing carriageways to tie in the legs of the roundabout.

RESULT

Works were completed with zero incidents and, despite scope increase, completion was achieved ahead of the agreed programme with zero defects at handover.
