Jackson Civil Engineering Wins Gold

The recently completed West Bridgford Flood Alleviation Scheme has been awarded a 2008 Gold Considerate Constructor Award; These awards are designed to recognise and reward those who have demonstrated exceptional levels of consideration against the Scheme’s Code of Considerate Practice.

The extended and varied nature of the site in close proximity to busy roads, schools, residents, commerce, leisure users and major sporting facilities introduced a diversity of concerns for the project team, which were addressed and managed to the highest standards of consideration and liaison with the local community. An environmental action plan was fully implemented with the close liaison and cooperation of the client. Operations such as sheet piling were undertaken in a way which would minimise disturbance. The site waste management system incorporated a 60% minimum target of reclaimed aggregate, but actually achieved 97%. There was extensive liaison with local schools and a simulated project exercise was held for students in National Construction Week. Students from Nottingham Trent University attended a talk and tour of the site as part of their degree course introduction.  On a visit to the scheme the Considerate Constructors Monitor scored the site 40 out of 40.
