Testimonial
“Danaher & Walsh and their team worked tirelessly to see this fantastic project through from inception to completion. The scheme presented numerous technical challenges, but their ‘can-do’ attitude and undoubted knowledge and experience ensured that the end-product is completely fit-for-purpose. The site was managed very well in Leicester’s flagship public park and the impact of the works on the surrounding environment was minimal.”

FAQs
Not always. Wherever it is safe, works are phased to keep roads, footpaths and waterways open. However, short overnight closures may be needed where there is no practical alternative. For example, Horsey Toll Bridge stayed open throughout the works, with only short closures for surfacing. Similarly, at Watkin Road Bridge, traffic and pedestrians kept moving while the team switched between two structures
Our focus is construction, maintenance and repair. However, where design is needed, it is delivered through a trusted design partner. As a result, clients keep one point of contact for the build, while the design remains in specialist hands. In addition, Early Contractor Involvement helps add buildability and cost advice before the scheme moves forward.
