Throughout the project, we will engage with local businesses and SMEs, providing local job opportunities including 50 new apprenticeships demonstrating our commitment to inspire and upskill a new generation.įunicular Viaduct Strengthening, Cairngorm The overall Thames Tideway Tunnel scheme will create more than 4,000 direct and indirect jobs at the peak of construction. A large percentage of project materials will be transported down the river to ease road congestion, emissions and disruption throughout the duration of the project. Using Building Information Modelling (BIM), we will test and simulate construction before works start on site for safe and efficient delivery. This unique infrastructure project, which is the largest ever undertaken by the UK water industry, is another example of the part we are playing in 21st Century engineering. Works will include design, construction, commissioning and maintenance for a two to five year period following construction completion. Working in a three-way equal joint venture alongside Morgan Sindall and BAM Nuttall, we will deliver the £416 million, seven kilometre ‘West’ section of the overall 25km Thames Tideway Tunnel.įrom Acton in West London to Wandsworth in South West London, the project will incorporate seven separate work sites along the route. It will also tackle the issue of discharges of untreated sewage that currently enter the River Thames on a regular basis. Running underneath the River Thames, the new tunnel will ensure the capital’s sewerage system is fit to support its projected population for at least the next 100 years. We are helping to construct the west section of the Thames Tideway Tunnel – London’s new ‘super sewer’. 100% guaranteed interviews for University of Manchester students.Keeping the local community at the heart of what we do, we contributed £20,000 to the University of Manchester Community Investment Fund, which enabled 50 local community groups to be supported, and raised £26,719 for charity. We also delivered 34 STEM and industry specific careers activities to local schools, colleges, or employment groups. The project has provided excellent training opportunities which include Construction Academy pre-employment courses, 11 unpaid work experience placements and 23 careers focused activities delivered to University of Manchester students. Throughout the project there has been significant focus on spending locally, providing local employment, apprenticeships, and work experience opportunities. MECD is home to purpose-designed blended lecture theatres, teaching laboratories, student workshops and a range of spaces to support the ambitious outreach and social engagement initiatives. The eight-storey 80,000sqm Engineering Building A, Engineering Building B, and the James Chadwick Building (on Upper Brook Street), refurbished Grade II listed Oddfellows Hall and the York Street Building. The development incorporates a number of existing and new buildings. Multiple buildings providing excellent teaching and research facilities This helped to develop and drive the University’s comprehensive sustainability targets throughout the project’s lifecycle, including achieving a BREEAM Excellent rating, a new active travel hub and a green roof. To meet the University’s Environment and Sustainability goals, the project was the first to appoint a dedicated Environmental Sustainability Advisor. Furthering the University’s sustainability goals The research facilities will be home to a community of 8,000 students, researchers, academics, and professional serviced staff, and will enable students to shape their own learning environment. Cutting-edge technologies enable students across all disciplines to engage with the new modes of teaching. The buildings include extensive, modern teaching spaces that reflect the changing demands of students and staff for mobile and flexible learning. It will transform the way the University educates engineers in response to the needs of the fast-changing global economy. MECD is one of the largest, single construction projects ever undertaken by a higher education institution in the UK. The Manchester Engineering Campus Development is the University of Manchester’s flagship project to develop the engineers and innovators of tomorrow, breeding collaboration and forward-thinking research techniques. Manchester Engineering Campus Development (MECD)Ī flagship project to create a world-leading teaching, learning and research campus.
