⚽ Last week #TeamStory completed works to refurbish the East Stand at Carlisle United FC's Brunton Park. Over the course of just 20 weeks, the team worked across four floors to upgrade facilities and create eight hospitality boxes, three hospitality lounges with a capacity of over 150, a new boardroom and bar areas. The completed works more than double the stadium's hospitality capacity, with last Saturday's home match against Harrogate Town seeing all areas fully opened to the public for the first time.

Big blue and blue skies! Our Comacchio GEO 405 and in-house Geotech Team have recently been spotted in Yarm undertaking ground investigation works, drilling boreholes up to 35m to support the design of future works. For all of your GI, SI and Geotechnical needs, please contact Mark Lindahl or Lee Healey. 📸 Thank you to Dan Jones for sharing this picture.

🌉 #TeamStory have recently finished the second phase of scour protection works on the critical West Coast Main Line structure, Caldew Viaduct, in Carlisle. 🛠️ On behalf of Network Rail, the team have successfully and safely navigated challenging working conditions in the River Caldew to deliver piling, in-situ concreting, and rock armour protection installation. ⏭️ The team will return in 2025 to complete the next phase of works on the west bank of the structure.

Anniesland station is now step-free! 🚉✨ Two new lifts have been installed, elevating access for passengers with impaired mobility, as well as those travelling with luggage, children, or bikes. This £4m project, part of the Access for All (AfA) scheme funded by the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom, features unique street-level lifts on either side of the railway bridge, enhancing accessibility in a way that stands out from typical installations. Kudos to our team and Story Contracting Limited for their hard work in completing this project! More: https://gloo.to/FOMH Network Rail | Transport Scotland | ScotRail

Last week, our Central team held a Stand Down for Safety event, bringing together Story, Network Rail and supply chain colleagues to discuss the importance of health, safety, sustainability and wellbeing during the delivery of rail projects. The day included meaningful discussions led by KGJ Price Rail Ltd and VolkerRail Ltd, and focused on the collective commitment we must maintain to ensure everyone gets home safe every day.

🦺 Last week, we were proud to join Westmorland and Furness Council to mark the start of the A595 Grizebeck Improvement scheme. 🛣️ The scheme, which is #TeamStory’s largest highways project to date, will see us create a new single carriageway road between Chapels and Grizebeck Village to improve safety and journey times on one of Cumbria’s key routes. 🤝 As part of our commitment to local communities, we’ll employ and develop local talent, engage with schools and colleges to attract young people to construction, and support local charities and organisations.

👏 We’re pleased to announce that Phase One of our Carlisle Southern Gateway project for Cumberland Council is now complete! 🦺 Our project team, all born and bred in Carlisle, have reopened the footway on Victoria Viaduct* and will now move onto Phase Two & Three from the mid point at English Street to the Botchergate junction. 💙 Thank you to the local community for your patience while we transform the southern entrance to Carlisle city centre. *Road resurfacing works will be completed at a later date.
