The 10.5-hectare Central Docks is the largest brownfield site in Liverpool and will become the largest of the five planned neighbourhoods within the wider Liverpool Waters district.

GRAHAM has been appointed to produce the final designs, along with the associated site investigations for the Central Docks infrastructure and Central Park.

The contractor will engage a dedicated supply chain team, integrating both contractors and suppliers into the design process.

In addition to designing the underground utilities, roads and public realm, GRAHAM will be responsible for the final designs of the 2.1-hectare central park, which will be the focal point of the Central Docks neighbourhood within Liverpool Waters.

The infrastructure will be fundamental to support approximately 2,350 new homes at Central Dock.

The appointment of GRAHAM to design and complete the key infrastructure work follows on from a £56 million investment from Homes England, which was given final approval by HM Treasury in the recent autumn budget.

Stage two which will encompass the construction and completion of the infrastructure and new park will be awarded following the completion of stage one.

Alastair Lewis, Contracts Director for GRAHAM said: “We are delighted to be named the D&B contractor for this significant investment in infrastructure in Liverpool. The regeneration of Central Docks Liverpool Waters will not only enhance its aesthetics but also stimulate economic growth in the area.

“GRAHAM has a proven history of successful collaboration with Liverpool City Council and Peel Waters, and we are excited to bring our Early Contractor Involvement experience to this landmark development.”

The infrastructure works and central park at Central Docks Liverpool Waters is expected to be completed by winter 2027.
