Capital Sky are very proud to have been part of such a rewarding project over the last few months, renovating the Luton Town FC Kenilworth Road ground.

Under time constraints and a very busy site everyone pulled together to make this job a success and reopened the ground in time for the Premier League season for Luton Town.

Runway Demolition & Disposal

Carry out the phased runway demolition and cart away from London City Airport. All works were completed out of hours to ensure no disruption to the airport. Capital Sky used all its own plant and haulage for the works.

All materials removed from the project were transferred to Capital Sky’s yard for processing to ensure all materials were recycled where possible.

Groundworks & RC Frame

Phase 1 – Carry out the groundworks and construction the RC frame for the DART project at Luton Parkway Station. Supply and installation of all reinforcement and concrete under Capital Sky management and engineering. All works were carried out adjacent to a live station environment. We worked closely with our client to ensure no disruption occurred during the project.

Phase 2 – Carry out all groundworks and hard landscaping works at the new Central Station at Luton Airport. This involved break out and removal of existing slabs and hardstanding, laying of new aggregate, drainage, installation of bollards and kerbs all with the confines of a live airport environment.

Demolition & Disposal

Removal of asbestos and soft strip of existing buildings, full demolition and break out of ground floor slab, removal of foundations up to 1.5m deep, removal of all existing hardstanding within the site boundary and crushing of all demolition arisings and stockpiling on site for future use.

Capital Sky used all its own plant and crusher for the works.
