The Fonthill Business Park project involved the development of an Infrastructural Network of roads, services and landscaping developed within a 100 acre Industrial Park, together with the construction of a number of large warehouse units. Clifton Scannell Emerson Associates (CSEA) acted as Project Managers, Master Planners and as Civil & Structural Consulting Engineers on this project. We prepared the Environmental Impact Statement and designs for the estate including full responsibility for the project's budgeting and cost control workings. All tender documentation for the civil works were produced in-house. The initial phase of the development for the civil works commenced in 1998 with the final phase of the roads and services development completed in 2008.
