• Provision of a new service yard and car parking.
• Provision of a weighbridge office and access routes.
• Provision of new access and service road of Lytham road.
• Provision of new landscaping including gates and fences.

The main structure was of steel frame construction with external Luna Wood Cladding that is in-keeping with the local landscape and internal cladding. There have been extensive external works to support the requirements of this facility, including establishing the main yard, the access road and the associated groundworks for the main facility. A modular office has also been installed with office, W/C and security systems.
