McDonalds Groundworks

Overview

Wodehouse have worked for McDonalds, undertaking all groundworks which include new double drive-throughs, fast lanes, car park alterations and landscape works. We also provide the building works for the new extensions. To date, we have worked on over 60 restaurants nationwide including: Gatwick Airport, Fraddon in Newquay, Cornwall, Southend and Cleethorpes. Work has to be completed to tight schedules and we always make sure we complete on time. 

One project that Wodehouse completed for McDonalds recently was McDonalds Ashby De La Zouch. This project included completely reconfiguring the whole car park to create special waiting order ‘grill bays’, twenty-three new car parking spaces and a picnic area which were built in an adjoining field owned by the client. Protecting the environment is very important and as part of this extensive reconfiguration we also constructed a ‘Unilog’ supporting retaining wall. The excavated contaminated soil from this was removed by a specialist waste removal company.

Health and safety is always a key focus and due to the large amount of heavy plant equipment on site for excavation and lifting works, as well as the large areas of extension, this project had a lot of focus on the safety and security of the site operatives. Alongside the principle contractor on this project we instigated an updated mobile phone policy along with a separate area for making calls and pedestrianised areas were set up within the compound to keep plant equipment separate from the workers. The welfare facilities and off-site storage were located to provide additional space and protection to those on site.
