The recently completed extension to the Leeds Mail Centre
in Stourton is the winner of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors ‘Pro
Yorkshire’ Award in the Infrastructure category. Watson Batty and project contractor Wates Construction were presented with the Award alongside Royal
Mail at the ceremony held at the end of April at the Centenary Pavilion,
Elland Road.
The award recognised the joint efforts of the client,
contractors and design team to deliver this challenging scheme in a busy
environment whilst the operation remained live throughout the project. The
common culture of zero-tolerance to Health & Safety risks resulted in over
200,000 accident free hours across the two projects over an 18 months period.
The works included a 4900m2 extension to the existing
processing hall and major internal reorganisation to increase efficiency of
the mail delivery services.
The scheme was also the winner of the APS Regional
Health & Safety Award last year.
