Preliminary works start on new site
18/12/2015
Despite the wet weather and a high water table, preliminary ground works have commenced on the new Dutton Builders Merchants site off Holmes Capel road in Middlewich.
The following photographs indicate the current progress of works and will be updated on a regular basis.
1. Construction of an underground rainwater storage tank is underway which at times of peak flow will retain 150 m3 of rainwater, for use in rainwater harvesting and to minimise the impact of rain on the local surface water drainage systems. These works will remain unseen when the new yard is complete. |

2. The foundations are now in for the new weighbridge. The weighbridge is centrally located within the site and is therefore more accessible then our current arrangement. |

3. The Southern boundary materials bays are now installed with works ongoing to form the concrete apron to the front of the bays. When complete the yard will boast 17 materials bays of differing sizes to cope with our expanding quantities and range of materials. |
