🚧 What a difference a week makes at Tees Valley School! 🚧

Progress is moving at pace on our earthworks package for BAM UK & Ireland, with another productive week on site.

Over the last seven days, our team has:
✅ Levelled off the site ready for the next phase of construction
✅ Started excavating for the attenuation tank installation.
✅ Constructed the MUGA (Multi-Use Games Area) base.

Sustainability continues to be a key focus throughout the project. Wherever possible, we're recycling materials on site, reducing waste and making the best use of available resources while minimising unnecessary vehicle movements.

With the recent dry weather creating challenging dusty conditions, we've also introduced a tractor and water bowser to suppress dust, helping to protect our workforce, neighbouring residents and the surrounding environment while keeping the site operating safely and efficiently.

It's fantastic to see the transformation taking shape already, and we're proud to be laying the foundations for a modern specialist education facility that will benefit the Tees Valley community for years to come.

A big thank you to everyone on site for another safe, productive week—we're looking forward to sharing more progress soon.

Current works include:
✅ Bulk earthworks
✅ Site preparation
✅ Cut & fill operations

As part of our commitment to delivering sustainable solutions, we're recycling materials on site wherever possible, reducing waste, minimising vehicle movements and maximising the reuse of valuable resources.

These drone images showcase the scale of the project and the significant progress already made in creating a solid foundation for the new purpose-built school.

Once complete, the development will provide modern specialist education facilities, including state-of-the-art teaching spaces, therapy rooms, sports facilities and landscaped outdoor areas, creating an outstanding environment for future generations.

A huge well done to everyone on site for their continued hard work, professionalism and commitment to delivering another successful project safely and efficiently.
