Danaher & Walsh was appointed by main contractor Simons Construction to carry out works relating to the construction of a new Sainsbury’s supermarket in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, on the site of the former Melton Borough Council offices near the town centre.

Project Overview

Firstly, we constructed a substantial sewer diversion, comprising 300m of large diameter piping. We also constructed a reinforced concrete retaining wall, adjacent to an existing carriageway, of 35 metres in length and two metres height.

We then began the Section 278 highway works, comprising construction of a four-way traffic signalised junction on the existing Nottingham Road, a busy route into the town centre. This provides access to the new store as well as the existing PERA research centre on the opposite side of Nottingham Road.
