C&G Safety & Environmental has been contracted by
engineering firm Mabey Bridge to act as CDM Co-ordinator under the
Construction (Design and Management Regulations) for the
development of a new manufacturing facility at its Chepstow
base.
The project will make Mabey Bridge, which already has a
£70m turnover and employs 400 people, the UK's biggest
manufacturer of towers for wind turbines.
The £38 Million investment will double the size of the
13,140 square metre plant to enable it to fabricate monopiles and
wind turbine towers up to 5m in diameter and 40m in length for
onshore and offshore applications. 240 new jobs will be
created.
The appointment of a CDM Co-ordinator is a legal requirement for
larger engineering and construction projects. The co-ordinator
provides specialist advice on health & safety and risk
management, ensures competent firms are appointed to do the work
and that the requirements of the Construction (Design and
Management) Regulations 2007 are met.
John Oldmeadow of C&G Safety & Environmental is acting
as CDM Co-ordinator on the project, which is likely to to take 10
months. C&G was recommended to Mabey Bridge by electrical
contractor Axiom.
"This is a very significant new business win for us" says Roger
Hart of C&G. "It reflects our growing reputation as experts in
all aspects of health & safety."
