This large scheme was awarded to ourselves back in December 2012 by Surgo Construction on behalf of their client Durham County Council.

Work was scheduled to commence in March 2013 for completion for the start of the following new academic year (September) to the newly constructed primary school based in Stanley, Co. Durham

Thee major groundwork work included:

• Importation of topsoil including spreading
• Seeding works including amenity and wildflower
• Pond creation
• A large variety of play equipment installation
• Construction and installation of raised timber planters
• Sand pit construction
• Seating and picnic benches
• Wetpour safety surfacing and rubber mulch works
• Planters and benches
• Cycle shelters and racks
• Recycling units
• Playground marking

We started work on this site on behalf of Groundworks Middlesbrough.

As all work was scheduled to be completed within a six week period prior to the children returning for the start of the new 2014-2015 academic year in September, we had to liaise closely with suppliers and manufacturers to ensure all goods are supplied and installed correctly in this short deadline.

Our work to this site consisted of:

• Site clearance and excavations,
• Edging and surfacing works,
• Tree, shrub and hedge planting,
• Site maintenance for 12 months,
• Installation of play underground tunnel with timber panels, walk and stetch, tight rope crossing, balance slalom and wobble board.
