Hartlepool

Hartlepool’s Mill House Leisure Centre has been in operation since 1972 and the local council identified in recent years that it no longer has the capacity to support the town’s growing population. As such, it was decided that funding would be allocated to create a new, purpose built leisure centre at the Waterfront and Wates Construction were chosen as the main contractor for the scheme.

The groundworks package was a combination of enabling works and foundations, including sheet piling and driven precast concrete piling. Aarsleff Ground Engineering were appointed to deliver both, with our team on site from February to April 2024. In total, 133 sheet piles were installed to form a cantilever cofferdam and 476 driven precast concrete piles were installed to found the building.
