In March 2024, Penfold Verrall was awarded the earthworks contract by Joseph Gallagher Ltd, who had been engaged by Balfour Beatty PLC to carry out civil engineering works for a new substation near Uckfield, East Sussex, on behalf of National Grid. To meet the project’s tight timelines, Penfold Verrall mobilised its team within just seven days of appointment.
The project presented several challenges, including tight timelines and wet winter conditions, but Penfold Verrall efficiently
addressed these challenges.
5,600 loads of muck away and 42,000 tonnes of aggregate imported.
This case study highlights the company’s expertise in handling large-scale earthworks projects while maintaining high environmental and safety standards.
