Even with the unsettled summer weather we have continued to be busy with general plant hire and contract earthworks.  We have almost completed works at the new Stop 24 Early Arrivals for Norwest and the White Cliffs Buisiness Park for Ringway which should be concluded by mid September.

Works have been continuing at the new Stop 24 at Stanford mostly finishing works including type one and re-topsoiling ready for the grand opening.  We have also started a contract for Ringway at the White Cliffs Business Park, Phase 1 near Dover which is currently ongoing.

Oct - December 2007
Well it was an extremely busy end to 2006 with works in full swing on the new Stop 24 Early Arrivals Contract in Kent together with another contract for Nuttalls in East Sussex. Works have been hampered by the continuing rain but we have progressed and we are looking forward to the start of a busy 2007.

January - February 2007
Chunnel Group were soon back in full swing after the Christmas holiday. We continued the earthworks operation at the Stop 24 together with associated works including type one and topsoiling operations. Works were halted at Nuttalls due to the site being flooded and we are hoping to get back in the next few weeks. We also carried out emergency works for Shepway District Council along the South Kent Coast due to severe weather, we managed to mobilise about 8 items of plant within a few days inorder to protect the natural coastline.

Chunnel have recently purchased two new Volvo A25D dumptrucks and a Caterpillar D6N dozer to add to our fleet. We are also looking at two new 13 tonne self propelled rollers which we shall be placing orders for towards the end of February.
