Metrolink Extension Work:- Wythenshawe and Oldham
November 8, 2010 by Michael
MJ Finnigan Ltd has recently completed two high profile demolition contracts on behalf of the Greater Manchester Transport Executive as part of the Metrolink Extension redevelopment works throughout the Greater Manchester area.
The contracts were awarded following a rigorous pre - qualification process and subsequent competitive tender demonstrating the high quality of service we offer to both the public and private sectors. Both projects represented a landmark for both communities in bringing the metrolink and much needed investment and jobs to Oldham and Wythenshawe.
The Oldham contract was completed in the town centre adjacent to a live college and a busy retail area. The works included for asbestos removal, demolition and significant land remediation of the former Oldham Baptist Church site.
The works in Wythenshawe called for the demolition of the former Norbrook Youth Club and also included for asbestos removal, soft strip, demolition, breaking out of floor slabs and foundations and hard standing areas.
The company was faced with challenging interfaces around the site boundary including densely populated residential housing, a live water way, and an adjacent youth centre which remained throughout.
The Senior Commodity Manager for the Transport Executive said upon completion:- “We are happy to report that the works went very well with no complaints from surrounding residents, In fact we have has some positive feedback from the local community who have commented on what a good job MJ Finnigan have done”.
