A partnership project at Denbigh Colomendy Industrial Estate has received a national award.
The enabling works by Jones Bros at the estate for Denbighshire County Council’s new Waste Transfer facility for domestic, trade and highway waste and four other plot expansions was recognised at the 2022 ICE Wales Cymru Annual Awards.
These awards showcase the outstanding work done by civil engineers from across the region over the previous year.
The scheme at the estate involved a collaboration with four local business owners in order to develop nine hectares of topographically complex greenfield land.
Work carried out included the realignment of Graig Road, construction of internal access roads, a foul and surface water drainage network with associated attenuation, environmental mitigation measures, minimising downstream surface water flood risk, diversion and protection of high pressure and high voltage existing services to tight programme deadlines whilst factoring in the ongoing constraints of the Coronavirus pandemic.
This provided five fully serviced platforms for further development by individual plot owners under subsequent phases in line with their business cases and planning proposals.
At the awards the scheme received the Alun Griffiths Award for Community Engagement.
Cllr Barry Mellor, Lead Member for Environment and Transport, said:
“We are really proud that this fantastic innovative collaboration scheme has won an ICE Award. The Council is extremely grateful for the partnership work between all involved to deliver this project and I would like to congratulate everyone who took part in this scheme.”
