Bison provides concrete to West Country holiday park

The UK’s leading precast concrete manufacturer, Bison Manufacturing, has been called to assist in the creation of a new entertainment facility in a leading Devonshire holiday park.

Having been appointed by G1 Construction Consultants, Bison will provide Woolacombe Bay Holiday Village in North Devon with 960m² of its 150mm deep hollowcore floor units for the park’s new leisure and entertainment facility, which will include an indoor pool, all-day café bar, arcade and a craft workshop.

The concrete units will be installed by Lancaster Trading & Developments (LTD), the park’s own construction company. This will be the second project Bison, G1 construction and LTD have worked on together at Woolacombe Bay, after completing a similar build for the company’s neighbouring sister holiday park in 2013.

Rudi Lancaster, the managing director at Lancaster Trading & Developments Ltd, the park’s in-house construction company, said: “As the holiday and leisure industry is seasonal, it is important to ensure the majority of the work on site is carried out during the winter months whilst Woolacombe Bay is closed."

Bison’s sales and commercial manager, Mike Nelson, added: “Manufacturing our concrete offsite in factory controlled conditions prevent any delays that may be caused by low temperatures, which can severely delay wet concrete’s drying time.”

Bison will deliver its units to site in October this year to ensure the project is finished by spring 2016, ahead of the park’s reopening.
