Paving and Resurfacing of Cemetery Paths at Finedon Cemetery

About

Finedon Town Council awarded a contract to S Eugen LTD for paving and resurfacing works at Finedon Cemetery, 102 Station Road, Finedon, NN9 5NS.

The project involved overlaying existing tarmac paths with new tarmac to create a level smooth route, including a vehicle access path (minimum 3.5m wide, estimated 1400m2), pedestrian-only paths (minimum 1.5m wide, estimated 1100m2), and a new pedestrian path (minimum 1.5m wide, estimated 35m2).

The scope included trimming back existing edges, installing new gully edging frames, applying weedkiller, bonding coat, and laying AC6 dense surface course macadam at specified depths (30mm for vehicle route, 20mm for pedestrian route).

Joints were sealed, and edges were backfilled with topsoil and seeded.

Entrance gates were maintained to ensure no interference with operation, and new footpath construction included compacted MOT type crushed sub-base, gully edging frames, and dense binder and surface courses.

The contractor managed all access points, safety barriers, and health and safety matters, with the cemetery potentially closed to the public during installation.

The contract value was £68,404.
