O'Brien Acquires Dozer For Midlands Scheme

O'Brien Contractors has acquired a new GPS controlled CAT D6T dozer for a development in the Midlands.

The D6T will be utilised on the £100 million St. Modwen's town centre plan, featuring a 150,000 sq ft Marks and Spencer store with a six floor multi storey 500 space car park.

An additional 45,000 sq ft of retail, restaurant and café space will also be developed.


Contractor Morgan Sindall has appointed O'Brien to deliver a highways package including earthworks, 1606m of drainage six metres deep and 4500m of kerbs and edgings.

In the previous 12 months, O'Brien has invested over £2 million in its machinery fleet, including two new Volvo A25G articulated haulers, three Volvo EC140DL excavators and a CAT D6N GPS controlled dozer.

Mick O'Brien, Director at O'Brien, said: "To achieve our goals, we believe we must continue to invest in our people, software and machinery to ensure we continually improve the quality of our work and the speed of installation, saving our clients both time and money."
