Danaher & Walsh Civil Engineering announce biggest contract win in their history

DANAHER & WALSH (Civil Engineering) Ltd have been awarded a £10 million plus contract with Galliford Try –the biggest single order the company has ever received.

The project is ultimately for Leicestershire County Council to build the new North and East Melton Mowbray Distributor Road. The £115m scheme is funded by Leicestershire County Council, the UK government, and the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership.

The project provides a new corridor for the A606 around the north and east of Melton Mowbray, by building a new distributor road which reduces congestion in the town centre, accelerates housing delivery, and supports local economic growth.

Sean McCallion, Operations Director, Danaher & Walsh Civil Engineering Ltd., said: “Danaher & Walsh are delighted to have been awarded this contract and look forward to working collaboratively with Galliford Try and Leicestershire County Council to deliver a distributor road around Melton Mowbray and therefore a more pleasant environment in the town centre for the community to enjoy.

“Along with Galliford Try we will be working with key stakeholders within the community to ensure minimum disruption and maximum benefit to local people, as a result of the works.”

Danaher & Walsh will be delivering civils packages across the scheme. The Project Team is in place, headed up by Contract Manager Mark Hedges and Commercial Manager Scot Jerram.

The company started work on site in July, and expect their element of the project to take two years to complete.
