Dudleys Consulting Engineers has secured four further contracts with Torsion Projects to provide structural and civil engineering support for new care home developments in Durham, Chesterfield, Bradford, and Worksop.

The four instructions follow the successful delivery of new care home and retirement living projects for parent company, Torsion Care, in Shipley, Bingley, Brighouse, Sleaford, Lincoln, and York, for which Dudleys provided full engineering consultancy support.

In Durham, Torsion Care has just completed the purchase of land at Mount Oswald in partnership with Banks Group.

Having supported the project through planning stages Dudleys is now working on site to deliver a purpose-designed, three-and-a-half storey care home offering 74 en-suite bedrooms with care facilities.

Torsion Care is also poised to deliver a new 72-bedroom care home in Chesterfield after securing planning consent subject to conditions.

Dudleys is supporting the redevelopment of the former Walton Works, including Grade II-listed mill buildings for the care home alongside new housing.

And, in Bradford, Torsion is redeveloping a brownfield site at Eccleshill to build a new 72-bedroom care home with associated ancillary services.

Dudleys is providing engineering solutions to raise the site level by approximately 3m to provide a level plateau.

Works are also due to commence on site next month in Worksop where Torsion is building a new 70-bed care home within the expanding development at Gatefold Toll Bar in Worksop.

Dudleys is delivering full civil and structural engineering support, working alongside Watson Batty Architects, which is designing the scheme.

With a pipeline of more than 5,000 units in the UK, Torsion Care delivers modern care homes, assisted living, and extra care facilities for operators across the UK.

Paul Brownlow, director at Dudleys, said: “We are delighted to secure these further contracts with Torsion Care, cementing our role as a valued advisor for its fast-growing development plans.

“Our team is highly skilled in working with challenging brownfield sites that need varying levels of remediation from historic use or local environmental impact and we admire Torsion’s commitment to rejuvenating often-difficult sites to provide much-needed new community-focused facilities.”
