Britcon has secured five new building contracts with discount supermarket operator Lidl UK. Britcon has now secured 11 contracts for Lidl over the past 18 months for new stores, extensions and refurbishments, valued at approximately £16m. At Ripley in Derbyshire Britcon is demolishing an existing Lidl store on Chapel Street to build a new purpose-designed store on the 74,000 sq ft plot. It started on site with demolition last month and expects to complete the new store before summer is out. In Sheffield, Britcon is contracted to complete an extension to the Lidl store on Chesterfield Road. Nearly 4,000 sq ft is to be added to provide increased warehousing and freezer space, and a new Backnische (bakery). Britcon is also building a new 24,000 sq ft store for Lidl on Wombwell, Barnsley, a new store in Bradford city centre and also an extension/refurbishment at the existing Lidl store in Market Harborough. Britcon managing director Paul Clarkson said: “It is rewarding to see that our partnership with Lidl is proving successful as we secure further contracts. We understand retail construction well and bring added value with a one stop solution to Lidl. “To be able to manage the entire process of demolition, site preparation and new build plus ancillaries gives peace of mind to the Lidl estates team which is pursuing a busy expansion programme.” This article was published on 27 May 2016 (last updated on 27 May 2016).

The main application of this organic compound lies in a variety of industrial, commercial and household applications. A chlorofluorocarbon is an organic compound that consists mainly of 3 elements which are carbon, chlorine and fluorine which are produced as a derivative of ethane. These are most often known by the DuPont brand name Freon. Dichlorofluoromethane is the most common representative of this organic compound. Chlorofluorocarbons are non-toxic, non-flammable and do not react with other compounds. However, the production of such compounds has been slowly phased out under the Montreal protocol, which is made to stop production of substances that contribute in the depletion of the ozone layer. Download Sample @ http://www.persistencemarketresearch.com/samples/4613 The main application of this organic compound lies in a variety of industrial, commercial and household applications. Along with non-toxic, non flammable and non-reactive these substances also have stable thermodynamic properties and this makes them ideal for various applications which include coolants for commercial and home refrigeration set up, aerosol propellants, electronic cleaning solvents and blowing gents. Out of these, their wide application lies as refrigerants, propellants and as solvents. However, in the recent past it was discovered that this compound causes harm to the environment especially chlorine which contributes largely too the depletion of the ozone layer. Hence, these compounds are being replaced with products such as hydrofluorocarbons. The main drivers for the chlorofluorocarbons market is its use in the refrigerant industry. The automobile industry is one of the main factors that drives the refrigerant industry. The primary application of chlorofluorocarbons is in the refrigerant industry in the manufacturing of refrigeration and air conditioning products. Other applications, which drive its market, include its use in solvents, foam blowing agents, plastics, and electronics among others. The market for chlorofluorocarbons is expected to rise especially in developing countries. Nevertheless, due to the harmful effects it causes to the environment related to the depletion of the upper layer of the ozone, the compound is being replaced by hydrofluorocarbons, which is being accepted to a huge extent globally as it is safe as compared to chlorofluorocarbons. But the use of hydrofluorocarbons also cause bad effects to the environments but on a smaller scale hence demand for green refrigerants in the market is increasing and is expected to replace chlorofluorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons in the near future. Request TOC (desk of content material), Figures and Tables of the report: http://www.persistencemarketresearch.com/toc/4613 The key segments considered for this market include North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World (RoW). The market for chlorofluorocarbons is mature in North America and Europe and is not expected to rise by much in the next few years. This is due to the stringent and restricted policies passed by the respective governments due to the harmful effects they cause to the environment especially the upper layer of the ozone and due to the green house effects that it causes. In these countries, the demand for green refrigerants is expected to rise in the next few years. The market for chlorofluorocarbons is still high in India, Latin American and Middle Eastern countries and is expected to rise due to its ever-growing economy and fast expanding manufacturing bases and lack of laws and regulations against its use. India and China manufacture chlorofluorocarbons to a huge extent and the market demand for the compound is still large here and not expected to decline anytime soon over the next few years. The main companies profiled for the manufacture of chlorofluorocarbons include Arkema SA, which is based in France, Daikin Industries which is based in Japan, E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Company and Honeywell International which is based in the U.S, Mexichem Flur SA which is based in Mexico, Solvay SA which is based in Belgium, Dongyc Group which is based in China, Navin Fluorine International Ltd. and Gujarat Fluorochemicals Ltd and SRF Ltd. which are based in India among others.

The largest-ever programme of improvements to barriers protecting London and Kent from flooding will form part of the next stage of work under a CH2M project being carried out for the Environment Agency. The scope has now been agreed for the second year of CH2M’s work on Thames Estuary Asset Management 2100 Programme (Team2100). Work includes engineering investigations, appraisals, detailed designs and construction across the Thames Estuary, including the improvements to the major barriers. The Thames Estuary tidal flood risk management system protects 1.25 million people and £200bn of property, and consists of walls, embankments, flood gates, pumping stations, outfalls and major barriers on the River Thames and its tributaries. In its first year, Team2100 focussed on gaining a sound understanding of the assets, undertaking engineering investigations on 180 gates and 50km of walls and embankments throughout the estuary. “The innovative approach being implemented on Team2100 is generating significant benefits in efficient delivery, having generated more than 100 innovation ideas and implementing six of these innovations to date,” said CH2M’s global water business group president Peter Nicol. The Environment Agency selected CH2M as its delivery partner on Team2100 in 2014. Team2100, listed as one of the government’s Top 40 infrastructure projects, is investing up to £300m on tidal defences over the next 10 years. Significant investment is required to ensure that the assets continue to provide protection against flooding into the next century, despite rising sea levels. Increased wall heights and a new barrier will be required later this century, but the focus of the first 10 years of investment is on continuing maintenance and essential improvements.

With figures estimating that women account for just 1% of workers on construction sites, it’s rare to find a female site manager running the show. But they do exist. And they can bring real benefits to the working environment as illustrated by site manager Charlotte Hale of Neath based Hale Construction. Instead of keeping order by yelling (as might be stereotyped of a site manager…), her approach is different. “I talk to people” she explains. “If someone isn’t working as well as usual, I’ll ask them if something is wrong instead of shouting”. Yet Charlotte does add that the ability for a woman to shout is still a pre-requisite. “You do need to be strong. Construction sites can be dangerous places so if there’s a potential health and safety issue for example, you have to be stern.” Although Charlotte hadn’t previously planned to join her family’s construction business, she helped out on site during her university holidays and found she loved it. “I really enjoyed being in the thick of things. It suits my mind-set. When problems arise, although they’re construction based, I can see a way out of them through being innovative.” Charlotte puts a lot of her approach down to her route in to the industry; through first doing a business degree. As well as learning how to problem solve, she also learnt a lot about how to manage people and get the best out of them. For someone who didn’t initially plan to join the construction industry but is thriving within it, Charlotte offers an interesting perspective on why there are so few women doing jobs like hers. “It’s not because women can’t do the job, or because there’s a lack of respect for them on site – I’ve not had any derogatory comments or problems like that. I think it’s due to how we’re brought up as children – boys have digger toys while girls don’t. It’s socialisation. I think things are changing as people find that it’s good to have women on site but the change definitely isn’t as quick as in other industries.” This is definitely true. In fact the Office for National Statistics says that the number of women working as roofers, bricklayers and glaziers is so low that it is un-measurable. Interestingly Charlotte’s brother, Graham Hale – who has also recently started working as a site manager for Hale – knew that he wanted to join the construction industry from an early age. He explains how he got into it: “I started off by doing a plumbing apprenticeship before then going on to do site management qualifications. I think I’ve really benefited from having that trade background in terms of understanding what goes on site.” Learning a trade first is the more traditional route into construction and is the one that Hale Construction’s Chairman, Jonathan Hale took. He started out as a carpenter before later setting up Hale Construction in 1996. Considering the fact that both of Jonathan’s children are doing well as site managers despite their different routes into the industry, it’s not surprising that their shared background – time spent on site – is the key factor that Jonathan sees for a successful career in construction. He explains: “People have started up construction companies coming from a completely different background, such as accountancy for example. But this approach can fail. You need to know the trade so that no one can fob you off! Alongside that you do need a mixture of practical and people skills as it’s not the easiest of industries. But it is very rewarding when it all comes together and you build lovely homes for people, plus of course it’s great to have Charlotte and Graham on-board.” Hale Construction employs more than 130 people and is part of a wider Hale Group, which includes private housing developer Hale Homes and eco-friendly joiner company Seven Oaks. The group has a turnover of over £30m and is set to expand further in 2017.
