We have successfully delivered a £1m groundworks package for Bader Academy, a new SEN (Special Educational Needs) in Edenthorpe, Doncaster!

Bader Academy is a 34,000 sq ft school which will offer provision for up to 100 pupils aged 5 to 19, and 50 members of staff.

Howard Civil Engineering were awarded the package from our client, Willmott Dixon, in August 2019 after providing numerous value engineering solutions and developing a robust build programme throughout the tendering process.

Included in the £1m package of works were the foundation and drainage works, the installation of services and reinforced ground floor slabs, the creation of a road and car park area and, finally, topsoiling and hard landscaping.

We also undertook an extensive archaeological investigation in advance of the main works in addition to caveating numerous potential environmental risks.

Doncaster SEN was our fourth project for Willmott Dixon following the successful delivery of works such as University Centre Rotherham and The Futurist, Scarborough.
