Following the successful national rollout of award-winning, net zero carbon hoarding solution, EnviroHoard™, Panthera Group is delighted to announce it has been awarded a sole supplier nationwide framework by John Sisk & Son. The move follows the publication of Sisk’s ambitious road map that defines targets and actions to reduce the company’s waste intensity by 50%. Using EnviroHoard™ enables the company to make a start on its waste reduction journey at the boundary of every project. It is widely acknowledged that the construction industry accounts for approximately 60% of material use and a third of all waste in the UK. Traditional painted plywood hoarding exacerbates the problem when it reaches end of life as it is often disposed to landfill. EnviroHoard™ was conceived to eliminate the use of timber and plywood and embrace a circular economy concept of recyclability and reusability. The system’s uPVC panels are manufactured from post-industrial uPVC and can be used multiple times before being recycled. The part recycled galvanised steel frame and ultra-low carbon blocks are also designed for re-use over many projects. With a view to adopting circular economy principles into the business from 2023, Sisk undertook a comprehensive appraisal of EnviroHoard™, culminating in the decision to award the national framework. Craig Murphy, Supply Chain Director of John Sisk & Sons Ltd, oversaw the negotiations; “We are delighted to have recently renewed our strategic partnership with Panthera Group. It is a partnership that we feel will continue to generate great value for our business and that is underpinned by a significant strategic alignment between the two organisations. As part of our 2030 Sustainability Roadmap Sisk has committed to reducing our carbon and waste intensity through adopting circular principles. Panthera’s EnviroHoard™ hoarding system, which has been verified as net zero carbon, ensures our site teams can further contribute towards our drive to decarbonise our projects”. Sisk analysed the benefit of EnviroHoard™ on an assumed project of two years and found that the system would offer 70% lower embodied carbon reduction than the equivalent plywood hoarding method, along with additional climate positive benefits including carbon offsetting and tree planting directly attributable to the individual project. Unlike plywood hoarding which requires on-going maintenance, EnviroHoard™ offers zero maintenance cost saving benefits. Using a typical installation example of 2500m of EnviroHoard™ versus plywood hoarding, the figures were compelling: Embodied carbon saving of 177.14 tCO2e 211 trees planted Equivalent of taking approximately 60 family sized cards off the road Saving an estimated 100 no. 30-50-year-old softwood trees from being needlessly cut down Of note to the team was that the longer the project duration the higher the carbon embodiment saving. A further unintended consequence of using EnviroHoard™ is the cost savings against the purchase of traditional hoarding due to the global rise in the price of timber. Neal James, Managing Director of Panthera Group, is delighted that his decision to invest in a net zero hoarding system has been vindicated with another framework award; “This is fantastic news for all the team at Panthera and testament to the credibility of EnviroHoard’s™’ sustainability credentials and the commercial viability of the product. Our relationship with Sisk goes back over 10 years and this is our second framework award; this time as a sole supplier. We are looking forward to supporting Sisk’s decarbonisation goals over the coming years”.
Developer Quintain has awarded another construction project on the ongoing build-to-rent development at Wembley Park. John Sisk & Son has been appointed to deliver its tenth scheme, which will see 458 new homes built over three blocks on plot E05. “Sisk and Quintain have a great partnership at Wembley Park. As a business we are focused on building strong relationships with our partners. We are delighted to have agreed the contract for E05 while continuing our work to deliver the ‘Eastern Quarter’ as part of this iconic regeneration scheme,” said Stephen Bowcott, CEO of John Sisk & Son. The contract will see the largest number of ‘family units’ being delivered on a single development plot at Wembley Park to date, with a total of 115 three- and four-bed homes. With 25% of homes provided as family dwellings, the new apartments have been designed to ensure the project continues to develop as a vibrant, balanced and sustainable neighbourhood. The building reflects the growing demand for larger homes, as an increasing number of families are choosing to rent in a high-quality development rather than buy. The apartments and shared social spaces are designed to be as flexible as possible to allow multiple uses – living, working, playing, entertaining. Sisk has been working with Quintain to transform Wembley Park for 14 years. Amongst other projects, they are delivering Canada Gardens which was the largest construction contract ever awarded. During their tenure, Sisk has successfully delivered Emerald Gardens, London Designer Outlet, the Hilton London Wembley Hotel and the reconfiguration and refurbishment of the Grade 2 listed Wembley Arena now The SSE Arena, Wembley. “Our relentless focus on quality and safety means we can deliver projects of this scale, working closely with our supply chain partners. We have been part of the Quintain story at Wembley Park for over 14 years now and we feel part of the community that has been created. We are proud of the social value we have helped deliver in the area through engagement with local schools, community groups and charities, as well as the great homes and amenities we are delivering for the people who live at Wembley Park,” added Stephen.
O’Carroll Haulage and Crane Hire the Irish rental firm has used a modular spreader frame in order to lift two famous bronze statues and move them into temporary storage while major construction work was carried out at Curragh Racecourse, which can be found in the Curragh plain in County Kildare, Ireland. The Limerick-based O’Carroll has made use of the Modulift CMOD modular spreader frame and the supporting rigging gear below the hook of a 100t Palfinger PK 10002 Performance loader crane mounted articulated truck. During the operation, both of the statues were both lifted, one at a time, onto a vehicle before being secured and then moved to an on-site storage area around 500m away, before being unloaded. The main contractor for the work was John Sisk & Son Limited. The contractor presented the haulage company, O’Carroll with a challenging scope of work to temporarily relocate the two heavy statues, weighing 6.7t and 4.5t. The move took place in order to help to protect them with a covering while the construction work was being carried out at the racecourse. The two bronze statues are thought to be of great historical importance to the racecourse and it was essential that they were protected while the work was carried out. The larger of the two statues feature a jockey and commemorates Vintage Crop, the British-bred and Irish trained thoroughbred racehorse who was the first overseas runner to win the Melbourne cup. The lighter of the statues is Nijinsky, the Canadian-bred, Irish trained thoroughbred and sire. Both of the statues needed to be moved with their concrete foundations, adding to the challenge. The statues have been moved for the time being from the racecourse’s parade ring which will be transformed as a part of this new development. The new Curragh will also will ensure that more patrons can share in excitement and build up to the races as well as see the creation of world-class facilities that, when completed, will be on par with other locations around the world.
John Sisk & Son Limited have been revealed as the construction partner of Select for their Affinity Living Scheme. The construction project has been estimated at £247 million and is situated in in Circle Square in Manchester. It is expected that Jon Sisk & Son will create 677 apartments as part of one of Select’s construction schemes. The Affinity Living project by Select is spread across two different buildings and will consists of 677 apartments as well as 1500 sq. m. of space that will be given for amenities. This open space will be used for lounge areas as well as co-working spaces, gyms and private entertaining areas. The announcement of the new construction partner comes at a great time for Affinity Living as it is expected to create more than 1800 apartments just around Manchester over the course of the next three years. The combined GDV of the programme of works being carried out is thought to be £644 million. These ambitious plans for growth by the company could create more jobs in the area as well as delivering more residential space which could go some way to meet the housing demand. Select revealed that they were looking for construction partners that are wanting to expand as well as have a determination to deliver. This partnership will allow the Affinity project to become a reality. The Circle Square project is a joint venture between Select Property Group and Bruntwood. The work in this area will be transformed in to a connected part of Corridor Manchester. The project will be surrounded by different world leading centres of both knowledge, science, technology, business, art, music and dance. Select is involved in the residential aspect of the development with the Affinity Living and Vita Student schemes. The Vita Student residential unit is a 604-unit development that is due to open in September 2017.
