Description:

Main Contractor Bowmer and Kirkland have appointed J McArdle Contracts as earthworks sub-contractor at their Birch Coppice Business Park site, Dordon near Tamworth.

A 33,000m² distribution centre will be built for online grocery group Ocado. A further 94,000m² of hardstanding areas will be provided.

Soil Stabilisation, one of the McArdle Groups specialist skills,  will play a vital role in providing a firm footing for the project. 

The soil stabilisation process, along with the use of recycled concrete in lieu of primary aggregates, will help minimise the  environmental impact for the ex-colliery site.
