Works are continuing at good speed despite the cold winter weather in Angmering, West Sussex on behalf of Cala Homes.
This 40 week project started in September 2024 were we are installing sheet piling, box culverts and insitu headwalls acting as preliminary work enabling widening of the existing junction of the A280 and Water Lane.
We have recently completed the Coldharbour Roundabout in Aylesford for Kent County Council so we flew a drone over the project to give a better view of what we have achieved.
We laid 8260 tonnes of asphalt, laid 1851 metres of kerbing, 1340 metres of drainage pipes, 17341 m3 of earthworks and 1182 metres of new lining and 28 new streetlights.
The works have been designed to improve traffic flows and safety using this busy roundabout linking Aylesford, Maidstone and the M20.
Last week the Coldharbour Roundabout was officially reopened, following a ten month project to increase the capacity and flows by enlarging the roundabout.
Works included earthworks, drainage, road reconstruction including new street lighting, signs and road markings.
The project required major traffic management due to its strategic position close to junction 5 of the M20 and as a major route into Maidstone and Aylesford.
Breheny project staff worked closely with Kent Police to ensure emergency access was maintained to their Headquarters close to the roundabout.

We sent up one of our Engineering Drones to fly over the Bishops Stortford North Development where we are building the infrastructure for Bishops Stortford North Consortium.
During the two and a half years we have been on the project we have constructed: Three Bridges spanning 25m each over a water course and new Greenway Footpaths, Cut and Fill earthworks, Drainage systems including 2000m of Foul Water and 2000m of Storm Water, 4000m of Filter Drains and Swales, a new roundabout, 3000m of New Roads, 5000m of New Carriageway Footpaths, 3000m of New utilities including Directional Drill under a live water course Water, Gas, Electric and Foul Water pipelines, 3no HV diversions and a trunk water main diversion, 2no S278 junctions, 700m of VRS and 3000m of Greenway/POS Footpaths.
We have recently completed phase 3 of revetment works at Shotley in Suffolk for Environment Agency working for BAM Nuttall.
The works to strengthen the sea defences included revetment repair types along the Orwell Estuary.
Repairs were predominantly riprap rock placed on top of geotextiles and placed to the seaward face of the defence using long reach excavators.
Works were delivered by Denver Smith and his team working out of our Needham Market office.
Works are nearing completion of the construction of the new S278 junction onto the westbound on slip onto the A299 Thanet Way in Herne Bay, including modifications to the Eddington Interchange Roundabout. The drone shot was taken after the HRA and SMA surfacing had been completed on the offline section of works.
We took delivery of the first FP McCann Stormtank unit today at the Blackfriars Development in Battle.
There are 2 Stormtanks which when completed shall provide 1493m3 of underground attenuation storage.
The tanks will have ponds built on top of them which form a key part of the developments Sustainable Urban Drainage System.
We are working with GTA Civils & Transport and Technical & Development Services (Southern) Ltd, working for Rother District Council.
The first of two new replacement screw pumps being lifted into place at Harty and Leysdown pumping station on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent on behalf of the Lower Medway IDB. The pump screws are being housed in a pre-cast concrete support structure to minimise the cast in-situ works and pump outage period.
We are working in close coordination with Stantec and Aquatic Control Engineering Ltd to ensure the tight programme is achieved.
Following on from our recent post about the opening of Phase 5 project at Hampton Park in Littlehampton West Sussex, we thought we would put up the drone to capture some aerial shots of our project on a nice sunny West Sussex day.
We will be posting the drone video in the next couple of weeks.
Our site at Battle has been rated as ‘excellent’ by Considerate Constructors Scheme scoring 42 out of 45 marks. Exceptional site safety, care of the environment and staff wellbeing were highlighted by the Considerate Constructors Monitor. Congratulations to the site team especially Site Agent Harayshan Pirabaharan and General Foreman Gareth Williams
We took the drone up to get an overview of the site progress achieved to date.
