ConBarr-TVCBs Support Hoarding at Huddersfield Market Redevelopment
The redevelopment of Huddersfield Market required a robust construction perimeter suited to a busy town-centre location. Working alongside Willmott Dixon, Blok N Mesh installed a hoarding system supported by Elite Precast Concrete’s Temporary Vertical Concrete Barriers, helping define the site boundary and separate construction activities from surrounding public areas.
The Challenge
Town-centre construction projects, such as Huddersfield market area, bring particular challenges, where contractors must consider public safety, site security, pedestrian movement and access while work progresses close to neighbouring businesses and public spaces.
The perimeter solution therefore needed to provide substantial support for the hoarding while accommodating the practical demands of an active urban redevelopment.
The Solution
Elite Precast Concrete’s ConBarr-TVCBs formed the supporting base for the Blok N Mesh hoarding installation.
The combination of precast concrete barriers and hoarding created a clearly defined perimeter, with the barriers providing substantial ballast and the hoarding screening construction activities.
This approach brought together the strength of precast concrete with a specialist hoarding system to support the project’s temporary works requirements.
Support Safe and Secure Construction
The installation provided:
Robust perimeter definition around the redevelopment site.
Concrete support for the hoarding system, forming part of the temporary works arrangement.
Visual separation between construction activities and surrounding public areas.
A practical boundary solution for a demanding town-centre environment.
The stability of the hoarding relies on the entire system working together, including the connections, layout, ground conditions and wind-loading assessment. Because every site is different, the barrier-supported setup should be designed and installed to suit the specific project requirements.
The Outcome
The hoarding installation established a substantial construction perimeter as the Huddersfield Market redevelopment took shape.
The project demonstrates how Elite Precast Concrete’s ConBarr-TVCBs can support specialist hoarding installations, helping contractors manage the boundaries of complex urban construction sites.
