Project Overview:

WHL Projects spearheaded a road widening scheme on the A614 to facilitate the creation of a new entrance onto a holiday park, a pivotal component of the site's planning permissions. The project involved the construction of 200lm of new 8m wide roads, seamlessly integrating with the existing A road. WHL Property, a subsidiary, managed all contractual aspects including bonds, insurances, road closures, while WHL Projects oversaw traffic management plans, applications for road closures to the council, and conducted CAT scanning prior to excavations.

Project Details:

1. Contractual Management: WHL Property efficiently managed all contractual aspects, ensuring compliance with legal requirements, financial obligations, and regulatory standards. This included overseeing bonds, insurances, and road closure procedures, guaranteeing a smooth execution of the project.

2. Traffic Management Plans: WHL Projects developed comprehensive traffic management plans to mitigate disruptions and ensure the safety of road users during construction. Collaborating closely with local authorities, plans were meticulously crafted to minimize traffic congestion and maintain accessibility to surrounding areas.

3. Excavation and CAT Scanning: Prior to any excavations, extensive CAT scanning was conducted to identify underground utilities and potential hazards, ensuring the safety of workers and preventing damage to existing infrastructure. WHL Projects prioritized thorough planning and risk assessment to mitigate unforeseen challenges during excavation works.

4. Road Widening Works: The road widening works involved significant excavation activities to accommodate the new road layout. WHL Projects meticulously managed the excavation process, adhering to precise specifications and quality standards. Installation of type one aggregate was meticulously carried out, ensuring proper compaction and establishing correct falls for efficient drainage.

5. Integration with Existing A Road: Seamless integration with the existing A road was a critical aspect of the project. WHL Projects employed advanced engineering techniques to ensure smooth transitions and continuity of traffic flow between the widened road section and the existing roadway. Attention to detail was paramount to maintain road safety and efficiency.

6. Compliance and Regulation: Throughout the project, WHL Projects remained committed to compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards. Stringent quality control measures were implemented to uphold safety, environmental, and construction regulations, ensuring the project's successful completion within prescribed parameters.

Conclusion:

The road widening scheme on the A614, led by WHL Projects and WHL Property, successfully delivered a crucial infrastructure upgrade to facilitate access to the holiday park. Through meticulous planning, expert execution, and diligent management of contractual and regulatory aspects, the project achieved its objectives of enhancing road connectivity while ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance. The newly widened roads now provide improved access for visitors to the holiday park, contributing to its accessibility and overall appeal.
