___________________________________________________________________________________________ Collins Earthworks
is Northampton Gateway . This site is located just off Junction 15 of the M1 and spans over two million square metres . On this particular scheme , we are contracted to cut and fill over four million cubic metres of material across a series of plateaus , rail freight terminals , and infrastructure works . To give you an idea of outputs for this specific contract , we ’ ve moved in excess of 120,000 cubic metres of material per week during peak times across the project !” Adam explains . “ After completing the enabling works , our focus shifts towards the necessary earthworks and aggregate importation that will be needed to complete vertical build stages of individual distribution sheds or warehouses . This approach forms the basis of our involvement in most ventures we undertake the length and breadth of the UK .
“ However , we don ’ t stop at ‘ Gateways ’ and distribution units , as we also expanded our scope to include largescale civils , highways and infrastructure projects . This includes projects such as Grantham Bypass and Melton Mowbray Distributor Road . We are also engaged in significant sections of HS2 and recently secured a highway scheme in Milton Keynes . Diversifying our portfolio and venturing into various projects adds a pleasant variety to our workload ,” he says .
Nathan Warner , Surveyor and Head of Marketing , affirms that the variety of projects is one of the many reasons why he enjoys working at Collins . “ While industrial sheds and related projects remain our core expertise , the opportunity to work on diverse projects keeps things interesting as we get to regularly encounter different challenges .
