Montel Civil Engineering has been engaged by Flowerdown Retail Park to undertake the much needed repairs to the car park. The car park repairs will be undertaken in phases to minimise the impact to businesses within the retail park, and their customers.

The work will comprise of:

• Excavation of the perimeter of the circular route of the car park and the first 10 meters of each aisle.
• Re-instating a robust SUDs system to reduce the possibility of future flooding.
• Re-instating the block paving.
• Widening of the car park entrance.

We are committed to keeping the local community informed about the progress of the works, and endeavour to keep local residents and businesses informed with up-to-date information on issues that may affect them, and any changes to the scheduled phasing of works. This will be undertaken via newsletters, phone calls, emails and face-to-face meetings.

Equally, we would encourage and welcome individuals contacting us directly in the event of any issues which may give them cause for concern. Our site entrance will have a dedicated gateman who will be able to assist with any queries, our Project Managers mobile number will be available on the information board at the entrance to the site, and we also encourage the public to contact us via the details below.

Our Project Manager Nick Fiore and his team have excavated and reinstated the area in front of B&Q and this has been re-opened to the public, block paving is currently being reinstated within our compound area and will re-opened to the public by the 20th of May.  The entrance to the retail park has been widened, enabling two cars to manoeuvre through the area, reducing the need to stop while entering the retail park.  

We have began excavating the area near Burger King which will become part of the main circular route around the car park.

“Business as Usual” banners have been put up around the car park to ensure the public are aware businesses remain open for the duration of the works.

Why are the works needed?
To construct a drive-thru lane for Burger King to reduce the impact on the traffic turning into the car park via the one-way system. Works are also being undertaken on the parameter of the car park and within the first 10m of each aisle to ensure the ground is level, and to reduce the car park holding water which currently creates large puddles around the perimeter of the car park.

What works will Montel be undertaking?
Our works will comprise of:
· Excavation of the perimeter of the circular route of the car park and the first 10 meters of each aisle.
· Re-instating a robust SUDs system to reduce the possibility of future flooding.
· Re-instating the block paving.
· Widening the car park entrance.

How long will the work take?
The project began in early April and is expected to be completed by the Autumn.

How will the traffic be controlled?
The car park will run on a one-way system for safety and to minimise disruption.

What days will Montel be working?
Monday to Friday 7:30am to 6pm, no works will be undertaken on bank holidays.

Will there be a lot of noise and dust?
Dust and noise is levels are monitored throughout the day. Our machinery has the latest technology in noise suppression, and the type of works required should produce minimum dust.

What about deliveries?
We receive our deliveries in bulk to aim to reduce our carbon emissions and traffic on the road, these will be delivered locally off site and brought into the car park in smaller loads as required.

How will customers know we are open?
“Business as Usual” banners will be used to inform the local community that businesses within the retail park are open, and access to all businesses will be maintained throughout the project.
