    McAvoy joins Everything Estates: offsite delivery and risk notes for project teams

    First reported on The Construction Index

    30 Second Briefing

    Modular building specialist McAvoy has been appointed to the Everything Estates framework, giving UK public sector, devolved administrations and third-sector clients direct-award access to its offsite manufactured building solutions. The framework enables estates teams to procure factory-built interim or permanent accommodation that is delivered to site for rapid installation, helping address capacity pressures and replacement of ageing facilities on constrained, operational campuses. McAvoy says the controlled factory environment improves programme certainty and quality, which will appeal to clients managing tight timelines and live-site disruption risks.

    Technical Brief

    • Framework access is open to UK public sector, devolved governments and third-sector estate owners.
    • McAvoy’s scope covers both interim decant accommodation and fully permanent estate expansion or replacement assets.
    • Factory-based manufacture allows parallel groundworks and building production, compressing on-site programme durations.
    • Offsite delivery particularly suits constrained, live campuses where traditional staging and laydown areas are unavailable.
    • Reduced on-site construction duration can lower temporary works, traffic management and decanting costs on operational estates.
    • Framework route provides a pre-vetted supplier list, simplifying compliance, governance and audit for estates teams.
    • For similar public estate upgrades, offsite frameworks can de-risk programme overruns on critical-path education and healthcare schemes.

    Our Take

    McAvoy’s presence on the Everything Estates framework comes on the back of multiple UK healthcare estate wins in our database, including the £65m Lynfield Mount Hospital redevelopment, signalling that public-sector clients are increasingly comfortable procuring major clinical facilities via offsite specialists.

    With Portakabin also recently approved on the same Everything Estates framework, the UK modular market now has at least two large offsite players competing for direct-award public work through this route, which is likely to sharpen pricing and programme offers for NHS and local authority clients.

    Across recent UK Infrastructure coverage, McAvoy appears predominantly in healthcare and public-estate projects, so this framework slot is strategically aligned with its core pipeline rather than a diversification into new sectors or geographies.

    Strabag’s Pfaffensteig Tunnel contract: design and delivery notes for rail engineers

    Strabag and Group company Züblin have secured the design-and-build structural works for the ABS Gäubahn Nord/Pfaffensteig Tunnel in south-west Germany, centred on an 11km twin-bore rail tunnel linking Stuttgart Airport station directly to the Gäubahn line towards Switzerland. About 9.8km will be driven by two TBMs, with conventional tunnelling for the A8 motorway undercrossing and airport connection, plus a 240m cut-and-cover section, retaining structures, railway underpasses and a grade-separated crossing. A 3km surface section will be upgraded and partially realigned for 200km/h operation, delivered under an integrated project delivery model with Ed. Züblin, Wayss & Freytag and Strabag AG sharing tunnelling, structural and earthworks packages.

    National Grid TBM under the Thames: tunnelling design and risk notes for engineers

    A 271.5‑tonne Herrenknecht Mixshield TBM, Caroline, has started driving a 2.2km electricity cable tunnel with a 4m internal diameter beneath the River Thames in Essex for National Grid’s Grain to Tilbury project, delivered by the Ferrovial BEMO joint venture. The drive will pass through variable Thames estuary ground conditions between 35m‑deep launch and reception shafts of 15m and 12m diameter, with tunnelling continuing into 2026 and overall scheme completion targeted for 2029. The new tunnel will replace the 1969 Thames Cable Tunnel and carry new high‑voltage circuits between Grain and Tilbury substations.

    Panama Canal Mixshield undercrossing: design and tunnelling lessons for engineers

    A 13.46m diameter Herrenknecht Mixshield TBM has broken through into the future Balboa station on Panama Metro Line 3 after completing the first-ever TBM undercrossing of the Panama Canal at depths exceeding 60m below sea level. The 5,600kW, 26,616kNm machine, fitted with an accessible cutterhead and more than 4,500 sensors linked via the Herrenknecht.Connected platform, has achieved peak advance of 150 segment rings (about 300m) per month through mixed sandstone, tuff, breccias and basalt. Around 1.5km of the 4.5km twin-track tunnel remains to final breakthrough.
