Construction & Site Work — Sunderland | Riverside Regeneration & NHS | V-TUF

Construction & site work — Sunderland

V-TUF supplies M-Class and H-Class dust extractors to construction contractors across Sunderland and Wearside. The Riverside Sunderland masterplan — covering the former Vaux Brewery site and the Wear riverfront — is one of the largest city centre regeneration programmes in the North East. The International Advanced Manufacturing Park (IAMP) at Washington, adjacent to the Nissan NMUK site, is delivering a new wave of advanced manufacturing construction. The University of Sunderland's city campus expansion and the sustained residential programme across Pallion, Pennywell, Hylton Castle and the wider Wearside growth areas generate ongoing construction demand across the city.

ICRA-compliant H-Class extraction is required for any contractor working inside South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust at Sunderland Royal Hospital. H-Class extraction (H14 HEPA, 99.995%) is also the mandatory specification for silica-generating operations — cutting, grinding, drilling or chasing concrete, brick, stone or mortar — across all Sunderland construction sites under COSHH 2002.
