C76 Durranhill Viaduct C1045 - Remedial Works (Phase 2)

A UK7 notice confirms Metcalfe Plant Hire’s signed phase-two remedial contract. Cumberland Council says physical works are due to begin on 28 September, with weather-dependent completion in February 2027; this differs from the notice’s contract period.

Why this project is relevant

Assessment: the civil works are real, but the contractor itself operates a substantial hire fleet. Treat this as a programme watch or specialist/overflow prospect, not a general plant-hire lead.

03 / Before you contact them

Check these points

UK7 records signature on 15 August and a contract period of 17 August to 18 December 2026.
The council’s 7 September operational update instead gives site work from 28 September, Christmas break, return on 4 January and completion in February 2027, weather dependent. Dates require reconciliation.
Metcalfe’s own site states it offers more than 500 plant items. Its own fleet reduces the case for external general hire.
£495,314.80 excluding VAT is phase-two contract value, not phase-one cost or equipment spend.
No project-specific open equipment enquiry or unsatisfied hire requirement has been verified.
