Truck stop, Parc Cybi, Holyhead

Design and Build project for a new parking facility for 170 articulated lorries. The site is located on Parc Cybi industrial park on the outskirts of Holyhead, close to the Irish Ferry port, and provides a break point and stop over for lorries using the Ferries.

The works included all site levelling and grading, archaeological mitigation works, drainage, foundation and base materials with a surface wearing course of some 1million paving blocks – providing 20,000m² of paved lorry parking. New access points to the site were also constructed, along with perimeter kerbing footways and landscaping.

Jones Bros carried out all ground works for the Conygar/Road King joint venture, and procured compliant materials worth more than £750,000 from businesses based on the island.

Local suppliers to the project, included: Mona Precast, based in Gaerwen, which supplied paving materials. Hogan Group, which won the contract for dry aggregates, and Hanson, based in Gwalchmai, supplied the concrete.

On top of the £750,000 investment in local materials, Jones Bros also sourced a further £500,000 worth of materials from within 30 miles of the truck stop site, on the Parc Cybi business park.

The truck stop is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week, and it created over 35 permanent jobs.
