Principal  Contractor:   Jones  Brothers  (Henllan)  Ltd      Design  Responsibility:   Client    Client:   Oakwood  Park    Description  /  Key  Delivery  Features:   Construction   and   associated   infrastructure  works   involved  with   the  

creation  of  Neverland  as  part  of  the  existing  theme  park.    

Relevance:   The  scheme  was  a  significant   infrastructure  project  encompassing  a  whole   range   of   competencies   including   site   clearance   demolition,  earthworks,  piling,  highway  construction,  and  foul  and  surface  water  drainage,   provision   of   utility   infrastructure,   reinforced   concrete  foundations,   superstructure   assembly,   traffic   management   and  extensive   landscaping.   The   actual   construction   site   was   located  adjacent  to  the  existing  Oakwood  Leisure  Park  where  the  operational  needs  of  site  demanded  robust  TM    and  security  arrangements.    

  Other  significant  elements  of  the  contract  included:  

§ Accelerated  works  owing  to    short  programme.  § Provision   was   made   for   utility   infrastructure   and   JBHL  

coordinated  with  Oakwood  M  &  E  staff   to  ensure  that   they  attended  site  whenever  their  input  was  needed.    

§ Conversion   of   an   existing   building   into   a   shop,   toilets   and  photo  kiosk.  

Challenges  Met  /  Solutions  Provided:   All  surplus  excavated  materials  on  site  were  recycled  and  used  either  as  fill  or  for  landscaping  purposes.  This  sustainable  approach  was  in  compliance   with   our   Site   Waste   Management   Plan   and   was   fully  endorsed   by   the   EA.   Where   possible   we   used   recycled   materials  during  the  construction  process  which  helped  reduce  the  overall  cost  to  the  Client.    

  We  were  able  to  work  with  the  Client  in  selecting  the  most  effective  septic   tank  and  pumping  station  arrangements   for   the  project   from  our  experience  gained  as  one  of  DCWW’s  framework  contractors.  

  Risk  was  minimised  during  the  project  by:  

§ Full   and   thorough   site   investigation   and   liaison   with

Oakwood   Employees   to   determine   location   of   buried  utilities  and  other  infrastructure.    

§ Detailed  planning  and  programming  for  the  contract.  § Fostering   a   close   working   relationship   with   the   client,  

designer  and  CDM  Coordinator  to  mitigate  potential  delays  with  their  on-­‐going  design  works.  

  The   work   was   predominately   undertaken   during   the   theme   park  closed   season   which   helped   in   terms   of   minimising   the   impact   of  construction   work   on   live   traffic   users   and   patrons.   The   following  challenges  were  encountered  during  the  contract:  

§ Changes  had  to  be  made  to  roof  design  to  help  ensure  that  the   right   ambience   effects   were   experienced   within   the  ‘Pirate  Chase’  ride.  

§ Close  liaison  with  the  Client’s  specialist  theming  contractors  in  relation  to  H,S&E,  access  and  programming.  

 Principal  Supply  Chain  Partners:   JBHL   delivered   substantive   elements   of   the   contract   using   our  directly  employed  workforce  and  plant  fleet.  The  following  activities  were  subcontracted:
