A major road infrastructure project improving site access and local traffic flow through the construction of a new roundabout and secure entry complex.

Paul Williams Operations Director "This is an interesting and challenging project involving a number of stakeholders including the local authority, HS-1 and statutory undertakers. TPI have engaged heavily with these third parties to agree the appropriate technical and legal processes and we are looking forward to this project progressing and providing long term benefits to traffic movements in the local area. "

The opportunity

A privately led scheme was designed to improve access for neighbouring businesses while delivering wider highways and environmental benefits. The works included a new four-arm roundabout connecting London Road with Stonehouse Corner and a secure entrance to the client’s site via a newly built Security Gate Complex. TPI supported the project by guiding Section 278 negotiations, discharging planning conditions, advising on procurement, and preparing comprehensive tender documentation.

The challenge

The site footprint overlapped a dense network of underground utilities, including an 8” high-pressure gas main, HV and LV power lines, water mains, and BT infrastructure. These had to be diverted before construction could begin. TPI worked closely with utility providers and stakeholders such as HS1 and Network Rail to coordinate the works and secure all required consents, ensuring the programme remained on track. stakeholders such as HS1 and Network Rail in order to obtain all the relevant permissions for the works.

The outcome

The completed access upgrades have eased HGV congestion on London Road and improved connectivity across the area. The new infrastructure has enhanced site access and logistics, benefiting both the client and the wider business community in the surrounding area.
