HBPW is playing its part in the UK leisure industry as it works with the Northamptonshire office of Birse Civils to complete work on the new Center Parcs complex at Woburn Forest near Milton Keynes.

The new holiday village – the fifth to be built in the UK – is set in hundreds of acres of beautiful forest, however, during the construction phase, service roads need to be built so that contractors can access and exit the site easily.

Chartered engineer, Mark Partridge from HBPW, said: “The main design for the project has been done by civil and structural engineering firm, Hannah Reed, however, Birse has asked HBPW to design the service roads and a number of the site’s retaining walls.

“Most of the service roads will continue to be used once the site has opened. It is always good to be involved in prestigious projects and if the other four Center Parcs are anything to go by, this will go on to become one of the UK’s leading leisure villages.”

The existing four Center Parcs are set in 400 acres of beautiful forest with lakes and streams, and each features restaurants, cafes and shops as well as indoor and outdoor activities.
