WORK on regeneration schemes in the North-East has helped engineering and environmental consultants White Young Green record dramatic growth.
Its offices in the region, in Stockton and Newcastle, have been working on urban regeneration projects on behalf of developers, local authorities and English Partnerships.
One project for English Partnerships has been the first of Middlehaven Docks, in Middlesbrough.
The £36m regeneration scheme involves 129 acres of wasteland on the south bank of the River Tees.
The land had been contaminated by 160 years of dockside activity, but once the silt was removed from the dock floor and the decontamination process completed, the material was used as structural fill to create four further acres of development land.
White Young Green has also been busy at the Baltic Business Park, in Gateshead, on behalf of developer Terrace Hill.
The 52-acre scheme has a development value of £250m and a lifespan of ten years
