Careys

Today marks that start of the 2024 Paris #Olympics. To celebrate tonight's launch event and the next 2 weeks of competition at the XXXIII Olympiad, we take a trip down memory lane when 'Careys went to the Olympics', looking back at the numerous packages of works we delivered ahead of the London 2012 Olympics.

We are delighted to announce that we are equipping our workforce with bleed kits from emergency bandages charity, Rapaid Emergency Bandages, to help improve health and safety on site. A a serious haemorrhage can cause someone to bleed out in less than three minutes, so acting fast with the right medical equipment until the emergency services arrive is essential. Each RAPAID kit has an 8-year shelf-life and contains everything needed to stop the bleed without the need for any training or experience. https://lnkd.in/eZEFfhA4

Careys were appointed principal contractor by AELTC, which runs the famed Wimbledon tennis championships, to deliver 16 new Championship-standard grass courts at their Community Sports Ground in Raynes Park, southwest London in a substantial groundworks, utilities, infrastructure and landscaping package of works. #Wimbledon #Landscaping #Construction

Careys had the pleasure of working on the No.1 Court with principal contractor Sir Robert McAlpine. The first part of the project Careys carried out directly for AELTC was to lay 1,000m2 of flooring in the Millennium Building - which holds changing rooms, a mini gym, interview rooms and a restaurant overlooking the courts. The green schist was the most challenging material to obtain, as it is a natural stone. Careys maintained meticulous quality control over the processing of the cut stone. Once cut, it had to be washed and hand worked with a wire brush to achieve the specified anti-slip rating specified and texture, hand- flamed to achieve the right colour, and then washed again to remove any residue. Such was the relationship developed with the client that we became the first ever contractor allowed to retain a presence on site during the main championship. #construction #wimbledon #courtno1

It’s 4th July today, #AmericanIndependenceDay and we spotlight our project at the ‘new’ American Embassy at Nine Elms, London. Our scope included concrete paving, metal works, sub-drainage, installing flood barriers, excavating a pond, and installing pond lining. Four internal garden areas were also installed, which included the waterproofing, high quality Italian limestone cladding, concrete paving to the service forecourt, construction of foundations to the street furniture, and the installation of gabion baskets, all of which were installed through high quality workmanship.   In carrying out these works we followed a number of extensive security measures to meet the United States Embassy’s strict requirements. These included ensuring all employees undergo a 90-day induction process before arriving on site and the implementation of a 48-hour booking system. Furthermore, all products and materials on-site were subject to a 30-day vetting process.

The Championships, commonly known simply as #Wimbledon, is underway and is the oldest tennis tournament in the world, also widely regarded as the most prestigious. Careys are proud to have undertaken five packages of enabling, infrastructure, concrete, utilities and hard and soft landscaping works – including the creation of new tennis courts. All our works have been delivered to the highest of standards, requiring meticulous attention to detail and the procurement and installation of high-quality materials. Today, we take a look at the works we delivered at Centre Court, the main court used in The Championships and widely considered the world's most famous tennis court. #CentreCourt #CivilEngineering

In this special edition of '60 seconds with', we caught up with three of our Diversity & Inclusion council members to talk about #PrideMonth in relation to the Carey Group and the wider construction industry. #Inclusion #Pride
