Gatwick Boeing Hangar

The construction of a new Goldcare Maintenance Hangar and associated workshops, stores and office accommodation for Boeing at the North West of Gatwick Airport off of existing Taxiway. This project was constructed land side so as to minimise the operational impact to Gatwick Airport.

This 14-month project utilised the combined strength from both the building and civils teams and seen the cut and fill of 20,000m³ of earth, 3,200 tonnes of steel lifted and over 10,000m³ of concrete cast, all only a short distance from the busy runway.

Standing at approximately 32 metres, the high bay hangar has been designed to allow flexibility of use, with the ability to house multiple aircrafts from the Boeing fleet, ranging from the 737Max jet, to its newest and largest edition, the 777X Dreamliner.

M58, Sefton, UK

Work started in June 2019 on a multi-million pound M58 improvement scheme in Sefton.

The project involves the construction of the ‘missing’ slip roads at Junction 1 of the busy motorway, providing a northbound off-slip and a southbound on-slip.

As well as improving journey times between Maghull and North Liverpool, it is hoped the scheme will reduce traffic on the A59 and some residential roads and facilitate potential future development in the Maghull area.

A19 Coast Road, Tyneside

Before this major upgrade of the A19/A1058 junction, drivers experienced severe congestion.

Over 80,000 drivers a day are experiencing safer and smoother journeys across North Tyneside thanks to the opening of the North East’s first ever triple decker junction.

The £75 million Highways England Coast Road scheme has been completed on time and traffic is now able to use the new section of road. This means that drivers will no longer have to negotiate the roundabout and can continue straight on along the A19.

Pirbright Institute, Surrey

The Pirbright Institute is a centre of excellence that carries out research, diagnostics and surveillance on viruses carried by animals. For John Sisk & Son, the project scope involved the design and build of a 3,700m² Containment Level 2 (CL2) facility on the grounds of the Institute’s existing scientific campus. The project works also included the supply, installation, test and commissioning of two autoclaves, 53 Microbiological Safety Cabinets and six Fume Cupboards. The project further required the biological validation of both autoclaves and five of the 53 Microbiological Safety Cabinets installed.

The building has achieved BREEAM Excellent rating, with air-tightness levels of 2.5m³/hour/m² at 50 Pascals. This is the only building in the campus redevelopment programme that will achieve BREEAM Excellent, and it is possible because of the lower containment levels. Other BREEAM features include 125 photovoltaic panels and an air source heat pump. The concrete has used GGBS (ground granulated blast-furnace slag) as cement replacement to boost credits.

Blackpool Tramway

Blackpool tram extension phase 1 was complete in 2019. The works included the design and construction of the extension of the Blackpool Tramway from the existing track at North Pier to a new terminus at Blackpool North Railway Station, including the track and turnouts, tram stops, highway and footpath works, signal junctions, overhead line equipment and associated works.
