Esh Construction has secured £15m of civil engineering contracts as it eyes further growth in Yorkshire.
The North East firm, which operates out of bases in Bowburn and Leeds, says it has won a clutch of contracts including public realm, highways, infrastructure and enabling works. It includes work for Barnsley Council to improve off-road safe cycle routes and linkages with residential areas - designed to promote walking and cycling across the town.
Via its place on the YORcivil2 framework - used by local authorities in Yorkshire - Esh is also underway with a cycle lane project known as Wellgate and Broom Road, for Rotherham Council. Together with a contract worth more than £6m to build cycleways and bus lanes in Rotherham town centre, Esh will realign more than 12km of roads in South Yorkshire.
