Kelf Civil Engineering, Buloockstone, Herne Bay, Kent

Overview

Kelf Civil Engineering Ltd is the Principal Contractor for a large new build development on Bullockstone Road, Herne Bay, Kent. They are leading the project until Stonebond takes over later this year. Kelf will continue on-site to complete all civil engineering works, including infrastructure for the homes, ensuring the development runs smoothly.

Challenges & Solutions

The development presents several key challenges:

• Infrastructure Development: Properly managing the civil engineering works, including drainage, utilities, and road construction, to meet regulatory standards.
• Transition Management: Coordinating the handover of the Principal Contractor role to Stonebond while ensuring seamless progress.

To address these, Hawksafe has been brought in to support the project with regular site inspections and welfare management.
Hawksafe conducts documented site inspections bi-monthly to monitor:

• Safety: Ensuring all health and safety standards are met, particularly during the civil engineering phase.
• Welfare: Verifying that worker welfare facilities are compliant with regulations.
• Environmental & Site Risk: Monitoring environmental impact and mitigating risks associated with the ongoing work.

Outcome

With Kelf Civil Engineering Ltd leading the project and Hawksafe overseeing safety and welfare, the development is progressing smoothly. The transition to Stonebond later in the year will be seamless, and the civil engineering works for the new homes will be completed to the highest standards, ensuring a successful outcome for all stakeholders.
