Clean Water

CPC have been working on and around water since the mid Nineties and as such have gained a vastly experienced workforce.

CPC Civils were successfully awarded the Shelton & Telford Resilience contract in 2013 and completed works in 2014. The Shelton & Telford Resilience scheme involved the construction of a new 7.7 kilometre 600mm diameter ductile iron pipe line, which included 5 direction drill sections. Furthermore, CPC Civils lay the pipework through 3 major shafts and tunnels.

CPC Civils were involved in the scheme from an ECI stage, and worked as part of the Programme Development Team.

Access agreements had to be made with local land owners, and due to the length of the scheme several compound agreements were made between CPC Civils and land owners to allow plant and material storage during construction.

CPC Civils advised on delivery method and achievable programme targets. As a sub-contractor was delivering the shaft and tunnel construction, CPC Civils programmed work to allow continuous pipe laying through the main tunnel works to time with the completion of the shaft and tunnel. This allowed the Delivery Team and resources to work through the pipe laying and testing programme without any breaks in programme. Furthermore, it negated the requirement to demobilise and subsequently mitigating any time loss to the client and delays in overall delivery.

During the construction phase, the tunnel which ran under the River Severn, had hit some engineering difficulties which resulted in a delay of its completion. This could have had a major impact on the pipe laying team, however to mitigate any damages to the client CPC Civils mobilised the team to a smaller road crossing and undertook critical path works ahead of programme. This allowed CPC Civils to continue with delivery of the project and enabled us to return to complete the pipe laying in the tunnel without extending the schedule of works.

Due to the ever-changing programme and size of the project, Weekly Programme Meetings were held between CPC Civils and Enterprise to ensure programme delivery.

Client Testimonials

“We have formed not only fantastic working relationships but also lasting friendships. I would not hesitate in working with CPC Civils again, as they are without question the most helpful, skilful and friendly partner you could wish for, and I look forward to developing this already fruitful relationship further in the coming years.”

“Well done Wayne Barron, John Donnellan, Pat Concannon, Conall Cunningham and the CPC team. We had a phone call from Paul Dennison (Severn Trent Water), he and his colleagues are very complimentary of the work at Kingsholm. They praised the tidiness, the setup, the workforce attitude and the standard of workmanship completed at the site ”

“I could sit and write multiple examples where CPC and your team have, in my opinion, gone above and beyond what would normally be expected. I would however just like to say that this ongoing attitude, and excellent working relationship, has not only aided Centro in 2 current Metro extensions it has also given me huge confidence in the planning of 5 further Metro extensions. It’s also made my job very enjoyable”

“Interesting weekend replacing a 12m length of sewer that had collapsed underneath a railway line in Bloxwich. Within 48 hours the team were able to diagnose the problem and work up a design and complete the repair. Amazing collaboration between STW, Amey, CPC and Network Rail”

Carillion have been impressed by the high safety, quality and overall standards of your on-site Supervision, quality of workmanship and the ability to complete the works in line with the agreed programme.  It has been a pleasure working with the team from CPC Civils on the Lower Don Valley Flood Defence Project and we welcome working with them once more on future successful projects

“I would like to thank all those who have worked on this project, especially the men who have been on site every day. In the 8 months of the work we have been kept fully informed at all times of the progress and all those concerned with the work have gone out of their way to be courteous and helpful.”

“I am pleased to tell you that I have been asked by the Project Board to express their appreciation for the way you and your subcontractors have undertaken the District Heating Main Extension contract to date. We appreciate the professional manner in which you have proceeded with the planning and construction of the project despite the uncertain caused by delays in funding approval and agreements with landowners. The Board consider that your working methods, attention to detail, project management and health & saftey are excellent.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful opportunity that you provided my students with last week. The effort, time and organisation that went into planning the visit is much appreciated. The resources you have given us are superb and will allow the students to really develop their understanding of flood management in their local area.”
