Construction of Llandysul Bypass - March 2008 - October 2009
After 19-months in the making, the Llandysul by-pass was officially opened in October 2009, a project that Spencer were delighted to have been involved with.
Working alongside the main contractors BAM Nuttall, Spencer’s association began right from the start in Spring 2008, involving all kinds of services. These initially involved site clearance and the removal of trees and vegetation, followed by the demolition of structures and buildings which occupied the path of the impending road.
As specialists in environmental operations, Spencer also erected fences to ensure endangered species and wildlife were protected, such as great-crested newts, slow worms and badgers. They also made sure that any trees and green-waste was recycled in the most effective way possible. And, when demolition had to be carried out, the waste concrete, brick and stone was crushed and screened for subsequent use within the project itself.
As work on the by-pass progressed, Spencer provided a range of other services. These included excavation, ground-works, plant support and construction. Then, as the project moved towards its final phase, operations such as fence erection, landscaping and tree-planting were also carried out by Spencer.
“We have been delighted to be so involved with such an important and prestigious highways scheme for the area”, said Spencer ECA Director Jamie Jukes. “With our company based near Llandysul, we had a natural empathy with the environment and an understanding of local issues. We are therefore proud to have our name associated with the project.”
In recognition of their work on the Llandysul by-pass, BAM Nuttall has now listed Spencer ECA as one of its preferred suppliers.
