Listed Building to remain

The site has been used for a dumping ground for many years making clearance and levelling quite a large part of the program. To save off-site disposal, the idea of crushing any hardcore found and feeding it back into the ground was another service offered to the client by Moorhouse Construction, to lower costs and improve ground stability.

The sub-contractors have completed their part of the program; clearance and levelling of the site. Moorhouse Construction Ltd can now follow up with their part of the program. So far, secure fencing has been placed around the entire site and a wedge pit has been excavated and a concrete base poured.
