Project: NR1
Scope: Enabling, Temporary Works, Survey
Duration: 20 Weeks
Role: Principal Contractor
During the enabling phase of works, the site was set up with temporary working platforms installed and access routes and logistic setups were put in place. This enabled the smooth running of the main works element.
