I thought they were 1 contract as tesco is in the planning with the stadium.
It is all one contract. We were offered to tender for the project but due to the remediation & Tesco's it was too large a project for us to undertake with the other projects we have on site at a similar time.
Barr construction are doing all the work, or shud I say were awarded both the stadium and the tesco. The shop I reckon will be open first. It may well be run as 2 separate schemes internally for Barr onsite to make life easier as there are 2 paymasters.
The tender was for 1. the whole site, the tender was then divided into 3 parts, stadium, Tesco, ground work.
The ground work has been sub contracted out, two seperate contracts have been submitted to the council, one for Tesco and one for the stadium.
The Council also hope the their in house building control have won the race to boss the site.
Makes sense for council wanting the inspections but could they realistically do it as it would be permanent onsite and weekends etc. Not current 35 hour week they do. Non paid overtime but accrued hours in lieu. Unless they've changed how they work then I cannot see it working.
Two massive diggers arrived on site yesterday. Regarding JKP, he had a contract for ten years which is up this year, but he has extended it for another 3years I think. That warehouse, formerly known as no. 10 in it's UG days, as always been owned by somebody else. Even UG used to rent it

doesnt seem to be anything going on on site this morning.
We had all better wear our masks while driving past then. No doubt Mr. and Mrs Gr. will have piccies up soon.
putting water on it makes it heavier so it doesnt float off. Keeping the asbestos contained
Asbestos sheeting should give em no trouble.
The following simple safety precautions will enable you to safely remove this asbestos-cement
from sheds and garages.
Protective Clothing and Mask must be worn.
1. Keep everyone else away from the work. You don’t want children around when you
are knocking down a garage or shed. A suitable FFP3 dust mask must be worn. Do not go
onto the roof unless you use crawling boards or roof ladders. Asbestos- cement is brittle
and you may fall through. It also becomes very slippery when wet - another reason to use
a roof ladder.
2. Use a hose to get the asbestos-cement really wet - both inside and outside. Do not brush
or scrape moss, lichen or algae growing on the roof sheets; doing so may release asbestos
fibres.
3. You must be careful with any silt in the bottom of gutters. Remember - this has come
from the asbestos-cement roof and will probably contain a high percentage of free
asbestos fibre. Get it wet and then scrape it into a strong plastic bag. Seal it and dispose
of with the waste asbestos-cement.
4. You can then unbolt or unscrew the asbestos-cement sheets. It may be necessary to
hacksaw through fittings or drill away screw or nail heads, this should be done only if
absolutely necessary. Sheets can then be removed while unnecessary breakage of the
material must be avoided. If breakage occurs, any small pieces must be damped down,
picked up and double bagged in heavy duty polythene bags for later collection and
MARKED Asbestos.
5. Whilst the breaking of asbestos-cement panels and sheets should be avoided, if it is
essential then panels or sheets should be saturated with water, and broken carefully.
Panels or sheets should not be cut with hand tools, especially power tools.
6. Keep the area clear of pieces of broken asbestos-cement. Under no circumstances must
It should be noted that in most cases only asbestos cement products can be removed
without the use of specialist asbestos removal contractors. Your main problem will
be disposing of the waste asbestos-cement sheeting. It would be a good idea to sort
this out before you start work. See notes on the rear of this page.
they be crushed underfoot. Wash down the area when you have finished. Wash yourself
thoroughly on completion of the job or before eating or drinking.
Removal of asbestos-cement from sheds or garages will give no risk to health from the release of
asbestos fibres providing the above instructions are followed.
Used to get covered in the stuff when I worked at Pilks.
