    Wynne Construction £325m order book: delivery and pipeline notes for project teams

    First reported on The Construction Index

    30 Second Briefing

    Wynne Construction is marking its centenary with an order book exceeding £325m, including £228m of live work and £99m in pre-construction across Wales and the North West of England. Current schemes range from the £26m Newport Leisure and Wellbeing Centre and £31m Aethwy Care integrated health and social care facility on Anglesey to the £13m Ty Haverfordia over-55s apartments in Pembrokeshire, an £11m archive centre for Denbighshire and Flintshire, and a £4m Maggie’s Centre in Liverpool. The pipeline is giving the family-owned contractor confidence to plan labour, secure its supply chain and invest in skills and training.

    Technical Brief

    • £228m of the £325m secured workload is already on site, with £99m in pre-construction.
    • Live and pipeline schemes span education, healthcare, housing, leisure, heritage and low‑carbon sectors in two UK regions.
    • Current Welsh portfolio includes residential care, over‑55s housing, leisure/wellbeing and a joint archive facility.
    • Denbighshire and Flintshire councils’ archive centre is being delivered as a shared new‑build asset.
    • Maggie’s Centre in Liverpool extends the healthcare workload beyond Wales into a major North West city.

    Our Take

    The mix of schemes for older residents (such as the over‑55 Ty Haverfordia project) and healthcare-related facilities like the Maggie’s Centre in Liverpool indicates Wynne is building a strong reference portfolio in health and social care, a niche that in our coverage often leads to repeat frameworks with councils and NHS‑adjacent clients.

    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.
