Caledonia CMS Projects

Caledonia CMS were engaged by AMC sub-sea to provide engineering and management services to construct the new underwater structures for the installation of the clients pre-cast concrete harbour wall.

We designed the be-spoke concrete shuttering system to enable the in-situ concrete foundation pour and work in tangent with the recently drilled and blasted bedrock seabed. Caledonia CMS also provided the temporary works design, coordination and implementation requirements in accordance with BS 5975. Caledonia CMS provided further support in the design, temporary works and engineering to concrete line the existing harbour wall which was in a state of decay.

Caledonia CMS undertook the contract and commercial management of the project on our client’s behalf due to recognition of our experience in sub-sea engineering and commercial management of such. We successfully reduced our client’s commercial exposure with the principle contractor and put the contract back into a profitable position.

Services we provided on this project.

- Project Controls

- Commercial Management

- Sub-sea concrete foundation design

- Temporary works (Design of shutters to suit seabed profile 

  after drilling and blasting) 

Upgrading the decaying Victorian Blackfriars station in central London, Caledonia CMS were contracted to provide engineering and management services to construct a new interim station over the river Thames on the newly increase bridge deck.

The existing bridge, which suffered substantial bomb damage during WW2, was doubled in width to provide room for a new bay platform and to extended the existing platform length to allow for 12 carriage trains to safely load and unload passengers.

A new structural steel canopy and rainscreen glass walls were then constructed to create the new interim station with viewing for east and west of the Thames.

As a German contractor working in the UK, M&W group required substantial management support when navigating the United Kingdoms construction sector. Caledonia CMS assisted M&W Group with the management of the full civil and building works related to the construction of a new energy from waste plant in central Scotland.

We provided support over an 18-month period delivering the project within the allocated budget of £45 million.

Using a mixture of both slip form and jump form technologies, Caledonia CMS carried out the management of the construction of the full waste bunker and associated reinforced concrete structures.

When engaged in the project, the contractors programme was already substantially delayed and with only 5 months to complete the structure in order to avoid exposure to contractual damages an intelligent solution was devised.

Caledonia CMS formulated, implemented and carried out a construction process that completed the top bunker wall in 4 months to facilitate the installation of the process equipment and remove the bunker from the critical path of the project. This continuous Slip form process reduced the contractor’s exposure to damages and allowed the bottom bunker to be constructed after the main bunker wall. this in turn saved 5 months of delays and substantially increased site productivity without an excessive increase in labour.

During Storm Eunice, Uniper Power Plant Stack 71 collapsed and caused severe damages to both the plants infrastructure and capital operation revenue with 33% of the plant left unable to operate. Caledonia CMS were contracted under Dominion Bierrum to oversee the full project management of the replacement stack from start to finish. Caledonia CMS also provided on site engineering services to ensure verticality of the stack during each component addition. In total 23 parts were erected in sequences of 3 or 4 parts per section. While on site Caledonia CMS were responsible for the £11 million project and its completion. Several complications were overcome during this project including environment challenges when lifting in an active power plant and accommodation of the Uniper workers who were still operational 24/7 during the construction process.

Often referred to as "The gateway to the highlands" Inverness City is a long established destination for tourists seeking to explore the highlands of Scotland. As a developing city Invernesses hospitality sector was struggling to keep up with demand. Shortly after Covid-19 restrictions were lifted, the end client wanted to capitalise on the expected influx of both domestic and international visitors to the area. Therefore modular construction was the obvious choice.

Caledonia CMS, were contracted to manage the incumbent delivery of the new AC Marriot hotel.
