Berry Systems lands £1m car park contract
Berry Systems is playing a major role in the £12m scheme to transform Stroud Shopping Centre.
The Wolverhampton-based firm has won the £1m refurbishment contract of Merrywalks multi-storey car park by Dransfield Properties, a project that will be completed in November.
The company will refurbish existing lighting, concrete repairs and structural supports, while also incorporating a new vehicle exit, landscaping and a state-of-the-art waterproof flooring system.
“This is a major win for us and underlines our ability to work on complex projects that require careful planning and meet strict deadlines,” said Michael Newland, commercial manager at Berry Systems.
“It will take just 16 weeks from work starting for everything to be completed and, at any one time, we could have up to 25 members of our team on site. When we have finished, the improvements will make Merrywalks MSCP a lighter, welcoming and customer friendly car park.”
He added: “This is especially challenging considering we are working in a very confined site within close proximity of the public, ensuring that parking is still accessible and allowing the Merrywalks shopping centre to continue to operate.”
The Merrywalks MSCP is one of a number of recent contract wins for Berry Systems and follows projects at Eastside in Birmingham and the £70m Lincoln Transport Hub.
It has also worked with Laing O’Rourke on the new Area Seven multi-storey car park at Manchester Airport, where it supplied 3000 meters of its spring steel buffer system perimeter edge protection across nine levels.
