Firm foundations for Bristol

‘Government research shows there is going to be a significant demand for new container capacity but it makes no sense to put this in the already congested South East. Bristol is closer to more inland container destinations than any other deep water port and, with direct rail and motorway access right at the port, we will give shipping lines and end customer’s significant CO2 and cost savings.’ Bristol Port recently appointed a consortium called Construct Bristol Terminal (CBT) under an early contractor involvement professional services contract to undertake the site investigation work. The companies involved in the consortium are Costain, BAM Nuttall, Westminster Dredging and Van Oord.
