Construction News Image
John F Hunt Regeneration has won a £20 million contract enabling and civils package for a docks redevelopment in South Shields.

Work has just got underway to transform a 9 acres brownfield site and derelict docklands at Holborn to pave the way for a new £200m Riverside Quarter for South Tyneside Council.

The former dock is currently split into two levels and has lain derelict for many years, following heavy industrial use, making the work challenging and complex.

The remediation will be carried out in phases, with the ground and maritime improvements being completed in autumn 2023.

The site will be reprofiled to create a gentle slope from Commercial Road to the Tyne, making it more suitable for development.

Three of the docks will be restored, preserving the area’s industrial heritage and a new quay edge wall installed at a raised level to overcome current flooding issues.

Phase 1 of the development will consist of 48 family homes. Later phases will bring around 300 further one to four-bedroomed homes and apartments, delivered by Keepmoat Homes, working in partnership with Cussins.
