Following a competitive tender process Tercon were selected by ISG Construction to deliver the groundworks to a major £50m project for the University of the West of England.

The very high profile project was carried out within the centre of a very busy university campus with a requirement to deliver critical milestone external works phases to maintain essential student movements and access.

Tercon quickly developed a very pro-active and collaborative relationship with ISG project staff to work effectively together in eliminating problems and meet project demands. With a high number of specialist contractors on site close attention to site logistics was also required throughout the 2 year project.
