Morgan Sindall Construction has appointed Applebridge Construction to carry out foundation works at Middlesborough College’s new state-of-the-art engineering facility.
Applebridge will support on creating the foundations, floor slabs, drainage and attenuation, as well as first floor slabs and external works at the facility, which is due to open in September 2024.
Andy Ray, group operations director at Applebridge, said: “Middlesbrough College Group is the largest engineering training provider for school leavers in the country and it is an exciting project for Applebridge to get involved in on several fronts.
“Not only is it the start of a new working relationship with Morgan Sindall Construction, but it’s once again an opportunity to help the educational infrastructure of our region. The engineering and trades industry has been dealing with a skills shortage through recent years and this investment in Teesside will bring about new opportunities and encourage the next generation of North East engineers.”
Alex Isted, area director at Morgan Sindall Construction, added: “We’re delighted to have appointed Applebridge Construction to be part of the team that will deliver this exciting new training centre for Middlesborough College. The training that will be delivered at this facility when complete will help create a skilled workforce for the sectors that will be instrumental in net-zero targets being reached.”
