    Tees Valley industrial estate: Seymour’s early works and access design notes for engineers

    Tees Valley industrial estate: Seymour’s early works and access design notes for engineers

    First reported on The Construction Index

    30 Second Briefing

    Seymour Civil Engineering has begun infrastructure works for Rula Developments’ 54-acre Teeslink industrial and logistics hub at Stockton-on-Tees, delivering site access roads and development plateaux to service up to 775,000 sq ft of floorspace. The rail-adjacent site, next to Eaglescliffe station and around one mile from the A66, was acquired by Stockton-on-Tees Council in 2021 using Tees Valley Combined Authority Indigenous Growth Fund support. Rula plans build-to-suit units from 3,000 sq ft to 500,000 sq ft on freehold or leasehold terms, with first occupancies targeted by end-2026.

    Technical Brief

    • Seymour Civil Engineering is appointed principal contractor, leading all initial earthworks and infrastructure delivery.
    • Phase one scope centres on constructing internal access roads and forming development plateaux for serviced plots.
    • Outline planning principles are already secured, allowing infrastructure works to proceed ahead of detailed unit designs.
    • Site was acquired by Stockton-on-Tees Council in 2021 using Tees Valley Combined Authority Indigenous Growth Fund.
    • Rula Developments will phase build-out in line with occupier demand, influencing timing of subsequent groundworks and utilities.

    Our Take

    Within the 294 Infrastructure stories in our database, relatively few cover Tees Valley or Stockton-on-Tees, so the 54-acre Teeslink logistics scheme signals a step-up in that sub-region’s profile compared with more frequently featured UK hubs in the Midlands and along the M1/M6 corridors.

    Public-sector ownership of the Tees Valley industrial estate land by Stockton-on-Tees Council since 2021, combined with Tees Valley Combined Authority involvement, typically allows tighter control over plot phasing and access design than private-only estates, which can be important for HGV routing to the A66 one mile away.

    For Seymour Civil Engineering, securing a contract on a large, council-backed industrial and logistics hub aligns with a pattern in our Projects-tagged coverage where regional civils contractors use such estates as anchor workstreams through to dates like the end of 2026, smoothing workloads between more cyclical sectors such as water or energy.

    Planning permissions for new homes: pipeline risks and capacity signals for project teams

    Planning permissions for new homes in England fell to 42,000 units in Q3 2025, down 31% year-on-year and the lowest quarterly total in over 15 years, with only 1,311 projects approved between June and September, the 11th consecutive quarterly decline. Over the 12 months to September 2025, approvals dropped to 209,781 homes across 7,500 projects, 38% below the early‑2022 peak and just 36% of 2018 site numbers. London is hardest hit, with units approved down 49% on Q2 and 72% on Q3 2024, totalling fewer than 34,000 units and 910 projects.

    Uxbridge builder false certification claim: safety and compliance lessons for engineers

    Heatwave Construction Ltd of Uxbridge and director Gurcharan Singh Chahal have been ordered to pay more than £4,000 after repeatedly displaying the NICEIC logo on a company van despite losing registration on 4 January 2024. Hillingdon Council’s trading standards team issued warning letters on 30 August and 10 October 2024 and found the unauthorised branding still in use during a site visit on 7 November 2024, with Chahal twice failing to attend interviews under caution. The case signals tighter scrutiny of false electrical accreditation claims, with the judge warning of potential “deadly consequences” for clients relying on invalid certification.

    Vp’s new CEO from Mitie: strategic implications for plant hire projects

    Vp, the specialist equipment rental group whose divisions include Groundforce and UK Forks, has appointed Mitie Communities managing director Alice Woodwark as chief executive from 1 February 2025, succeeding Anna Bielby after a short handover. Woodwark brings a facilities management and services background rather than construction plant hire, having led Mitie Communities since 2021 and previously spent nine years in senior roles at Compass Group following McKinsey, Oxford PPE and Stanford MBA training. She will also continue as an independent non-executive director at Vistry Group, sitting on its nomination, remuneration and audit committees.
