CEEQUAL 'Excellent' Award presented to Taunton Park and Ride at the ICE South West Dinner

The Taunton Park and Ride scheme, undertaken on behalf of the Somerset County Council by Aggregate Industries Ltd and Bardon Contracting, will receive its CEEQUAL ‘Excellent’ award at the Institution of Civil Engineers South West Annual Dinner and Awards at the Bristol Marriott Royal on Friday 10 June.

Taunton Park and Ride has been designed to alleviate congestion for traffic travelling into Taunton town centre by providing a realistic alternative for commuters and shoppers travelling from the north, east, and south of Taunton.

The project was assessed as a Construction Only Award and achieved a 76.8% score following the extra environmental measures Aggregate Industries Ltd and Bardon Contracting put in place during the build. These included:

Re-use 48,000 m3 of inert material on site, reducing the number of wagon deliveries to landfill.
Ecological measures such as installation of bat boxes and protection of badger setts have enhanced the wildlife habitats.
Re-use of site water for dust suppression.
Consideration of neighbours with reduced operating times of noisy equipment.
