Tesco
Gorton, Manchester

Elite Highways was commissioned by Tesco to replace a failed 180m3 attenuation system at their Gorton Indoor Market car park in Manchester. The project was completed in February 2023.

The attenuation system is designed to absorb and dissipate sound waves, reducing noise levels in the car park. The failed attenuation system was no longer able to effectively absorb sound waves, which was causing noise levels to rise in the car park.

The project involved the following:

• Setting up a site and implementing temporary works procedures to facilitate the work.
• Excavating to a depth of 6.5 meters to remove the failed attenuation system.
• Installing a new attenuation system with connections.
• Backfilling and resurfacing the excavation area.
• Installing furniture and white lining in the car park.

The project was completed on time and within budget. The new attenuation system is now in place and is effectively absorbing sound waves, reducing noise levels in the car park.

Here are some additional details about the project:

• The project was carried out in a busy car park, which required careful planning and coordination to minimize disruption to shoppers and employees.
• The excavation work was carried out in difficult ground conditions, which required the use of specialized equipment and techniques.
• The installation of the new attenuation system was a complex process, which required the expertise of Elite Highways’ experienced team of engineers and technicians.

Here are some of the benefits of the project:

• The new attenuation system will help to improve the noise levels in the car park, making it a more pleasant environment for shoppers and employees.
• The project has created jobs and boosted the local economy.

Overall, the replacement of the attenuation system at Tesco’s Gorton Indoor Market car park was a success. It has improved the noise levels in the car park and has created jobs and boosted the local economy.
