SCC PD Kalima Traveller Site Maintenance Works

SITE: KALIMA TRAVELLERS SITE

This is a 15 pitch site and has been in a poor state of repair for several years. It had previously been planned to increase the number of pitches on the site and carry out the essential refurbishment at the same time, but planning approval was not received and so the works remain outstanding.

Issues / Problems to be addressed:

The utility blocks and contents are now reaching a stage they are beyond repair

Failing services: due to their age the water and drainage pipes are bursting below ground

The electricity cabling is old and no longer suitable for the site where many of the caravans have been replaced by large mobile homes

The electric card meters are now obsolete and it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain the suitable payment cards

Aims & Objectives:

Fully refurbish the site. Due to budget restraints it has been decided to split the work into two phases; below ground works, and above ground works. Phase 1 will involve the renewal of all of the services - drainage, water pipes and electric cabling and meters. Phase 2 when finance is in place will involve the demolition of existing utility blocks and rebuild, tarmac new pitches, install new fencing and tarmac service road.

The specification has been completed for Phase 1 and it is necessary to go out to tender.
