Firms called to register for £3.5bn Kent theme park

The London Resort has opened pre-procurement registration of firms interested in helping to deliver its planned 500-acre theme park on the Swanscombe peninsular in Kent.

Billed as one of the most ambitious theme park projects ever in Europe, the London Resort will be the first European development of its kind to be built from scratch since the opening of Disneyland Paris in 1992.

The ambitious project, which would cover the area of 136 Wembley stadiums, is being delivered by London Resort Company Holdings, which is owned by the Kuwaiti European Holding Company Group.

With over £1bn due to be invested in the scheme, it has been designated as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project and was accepted for examination by the inspectorate at the start of this year.

Since then London Resort has requested an extension to submit revised proposals following Natural England’s decision to apply to designate 250ha of the Swanscombe Peninsula as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Provided its Development Consent Order application is granted, London Resort said works could start in 2022, with a view to the London Resort opening in 2024.

Canary Wharf Group plans next resi skyscraper

Canary Wharf Group has revealed plans for its next major residental tower at the western end of the Docklands Estate.

The Park Place build to rent tower has been designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and will rise to 55 storeys, just a few floors lower than the neighbouring Newfoundland residential building at 58 storeys.


Place Place build to rent tower will be built next to Westferry Circus

The slender high-rise will rise from a four-floor mixed-use pavilion containing shops, restaurants and workspace next to a new waterside public square. 

The site is currently vacant but was previously occupied by a 1980s building, which was the former HQ of Littlejohn Frazer demolished some time ago.

The Park Place site has been the subject of a number of previous planning consents all office-led schemes.

The latest plan is for 624 homes specifically built for rent only and would include both market rent and affordable homes.


The new residential tower will extend the retail and restaurant trade through the weekend at the Western end of Canary Wharf

Subject to receiving planning permission, it would be the intention to start enabling works on site in 2023.

Building fit-out is planned for 2025 with the building, which is to be built by Canary Wharf Contractors, handed over in 2028.


The new homes would be managed through Vertus, Canary Wharf Group’s specialist rental organisation

Rail website launch to improve infrastructure delivery

The Better Value Rail Toolkit has been launched to bring together the best ideas for rail schemes and make the delivery of transport infrastructure projects faster and cheaper.

The website can be used by those sponsoring rail schemes and their advisors to help make the right decisions early on in rail projects.

The brainchild of the Department for Transport, Network Rail and Office of Rail and Road is designed to help deliver infrastrucrure more quickly, save money and make sure that rail is the best fit for any given project.

Rail Minister Chris Heaton-Harris said: “This is a brilliant new website that brings together the best thinking and ideas from across the rail industry and allows everyone to access it.

“We have created a toolkit for early-stage thinking that will make the delivery of transport infrastructure projects faster and cheaper as we build back better on our railways.”

Network Rail’s chief executive Andrew Haines said: “The Better Value Rail toolkit has been developed based on listening extensively to stakeholders about how we can provide clear advice and support, be easier to do business with and help ensure focus on schemes that have a good chance of being delivered.

“That’s why we believe the toolkit will help us turn good ideas into great schemes, delivering for passengers, local communities and the taxpayer.”

John Larkinson, chief executive at ORR, said: “We have to make sure that money available to develop new rail schemes is used wisely. I’m pleased that the rail industry has worked closely together here, and as a joint team, to help people develop projects.

“The toolkit is a one-stop shop to help make better decisions earlier and identify the right solutions to drive better value by saving time and money.”

Camp Construction And Remodeling: Get What You Need

construction services

Camp Construction Services Reviews is for people in the camp industry such as camp counselors, managers, general contractors, and service providers. These people are a great source for information on all things camp from building to management. They are usually a great sounding board to give someone advice.

Camp Construction Services Reviews is for those of us in the business of helping our clients build the best camps possible. These are services that we provide from the preliminary “check-in” stages right through to delivery. There is a great team of people, respectful, helpful, in the office, out of the office, there is always help with requests for materials to needing sub-contractors. You will find the core values of: Respect, Trust, and Care; Quality Assurance; Responsibility; and a Culture. It is our responsibility to create a culture that respects everyone and anyone who get on our work train.

A great culture does not mean you do not have rules or policies that must be followed. You must ensure that all campers understand the policies and understand that they must follow them. If you don’t have rules and policies and a strong discipline system you will find that your campers will misbehave. This will not only reflect negatively on the sub-contractors and you may find yourself in an untenable position – you have sub-contractors and you must have rules and policies and discipline. It really is quite simple; if you do not respect everyone involved then nothing will ever get done.

Camp Construction Services Reviews concentrate on commercial construction that takes place in and around camp sites. Camp facilities are used for many things including military training, summer camps, youth sports, retreats, concerts, and family visits. To have a great and memorable experience you need to employ professional renovators who have a multifamily construction background and a passion for appreciating everyone’s needs.

Many families who go on family trips also use the camp facilities for recreational activities like hiking, boating, swimming, horseback riding, and kayaking. These activities are performed outdoors where inclement weather may affect your plans. The best commercial renovation contractors will work with you to ensure there is no harm or damage to your property from natural disasters or man made issues. You should check with the Better Business Bureau for any complaints against any of the commercial renovation contractors that you use to ensure they do not have any negative references or have any complaints against them.

Camp facilities must be evaluated when it comes to water, fire, and electrical issues. Commercial Renovation Review Services will ensure you have a safe and clean environment for your family or guests. The best residential and commercial remodeling companies will hire and subcontract professionals who have a good safety record with fire and water damage restoration, and will have specialty fire and water damage restoration services for multifamily construction projects. You want a company that can complete the work properly the first time so you don’t have to spend additional time repairing any damaged work.

Other concerns include the roofing systems, the heating system, plumbing, electrical work, and other amenities. Commercial building or remodeling companies that specialize in commercial construction or in multifamily construction will also work with the owner to ensure their needs are met and that their needs are addressed before the construction begins. Your remodeling project could take a couple of months to several years depending on how complex or small the project will be.

Many camp facilities have a swimming facility so there may also be some need for qualified staff to operate the facilities including pools and showers. Some camp construction companies will provide on-site electrical, plumbing, and water services, so all of the construction workers have their own resources available. A quality camp construction or remodeling company will have the experience and workforce to complete any project quickly and efficiently so you can get back to enjoying your recreational activities. That’s what it’s all about – getting back to nature.
