Attenuation Tank & Car Park Build

The Job

At Whitley Bay, M.Smithson LTD excavated for a below-ground attenuation tank — removing 180 tonnes of inert waste from a constrained site — then delivered the full external works package: drainage and manholes, kerbs and edgings, compacted stone sub-base, and machine-laid tarmac to the new car park and access road.

The Challenge

A tight, constrained site with the attenuation excavation at its heart. Every load of waste had to be carted off a live frontage, and the finished levels had to fall correctly to the new drainage across the whole car park.

What We Delivered

• Attenuation tank excavation — 180 tonnes of inert waste removed
• Drainage and manhole installation across the car park area
• Kerb setting and timber-formed edging
• Compacted stone sub-base rolled and levelled
• Machine-laid tarmac with hand-finished edges, footpath paving and fencing

The Result

The crew put the weekend in to get it over the line — tarmac went down mid-June and the site was handed over complete: a fully drained, surfaced car park with tidy margins, new fencing and planting borders. Finished June 2026.
