EEDA Funding Anchors Trinity House
01 Jun 2004
Suffolk UK based main contractor Jackson Construction has landed an £8m contract to construct a new headquarters office and buoy yard for Trinity House , the General Lighthouse Authority for England and Wales. The development project is part funded by a £2.5m grant from the East of England Development Agency (EEDA) and has helped to maintain the historic link between Trinity House and the town of Harwich.
Work commenced on site last month with an initial package of enabling works including the strengthening of Trinity Pier, re-alignment of flood defences and installation of drainage facilities.
Construction of Trinity House's new headquarters is now underway and the entire project is scheduled for completion in summer 2005. Jeremy de Halpert, chairman of Trinity House said, 'The construction of our new headquarters and buoy yard represents Trinity House's long term commitment to Harwich and will provide a range of employment opportunities for current and future generations.
The concentration of the majority of our operations in our new facilities at Harwich will enable us to enhance our efficiency and will directly benefit the ship owner who pays for the Aids to Navigation service we provide.
