Groundwork apprentices help deliver CETC

At our exciting Civil Engineering Training Centre (CETC) project the skeleton of the building is now complete, along with the precast concrete floor planks and access staircase. 

On the day the Blogging Team visited the steel frame was having its final preparation, before work on the cladding and roofing starts simultaneously. 

Elsewhere onsite the service yard slabs are almost complete and work on the car park has commenced. 

It was a pleasure to meet Aaron onsite, one of the groundwork apprentices from Fareham College. Aaron was busy forming the concrete surrounds to the steel uprights and commented: “It’s great to be working on the actual CETC site with important local construction and groundworks companies like Amiri and Blanchard Wells”.

The groundworks sub-structure element of the CETC project is being constructed and paid for in part by 16 ground-working companies, working collaboratively, who will benefit from a greater number of trained groundworkers being taught their trade at the new CETC building when it opens.  

On another note. Amiri have implemented a recycling awareness initiative on site by asking sub-contractors involved with the project to sponsor a skip, in order to reduce waste arriving to site and unnecessary waste being thrown out.

Our first sponsor is Jason Brown of Zebra Waste. Zebra Waste already recycle 97% of all their waste and will work collaboratively with ACL’s sub-contractors on this project.
