Public and environment will benefit from Park & Ride facility
The £2.8m contract, awarded by Essex County Council, takes the value of work awarded to May Gurney under the SmartEast scheme to around £35m.
The project will see the two-hectare site transformed into a Park & Ride facility by the end of 2010, and open to the public by April 2011.
The facility, to the north of Chelmsford, will provide a modern terminus building and 700 car spaces and has been designed to achieve a BREEAM ‘very good’ target.
BREEAM is the environmental assessment system for buildings around the world. The combination of the BREEAM rating and an on-site wind turbine will result in the scheme achieving a carbon negative A+ energy rating.
