Tolent restarts work at Vaux site stalled by Carillion collapse

Tolent has restarted work on the stalled Vaux site in Sunderland.

Construction stopped at the former Brewery site in January when original contractor Carillion collapsed.

Sunderland City Council’s development partner Siglion has confirmed Tolent has been awarded the contract to complete the first £16m building on the project known as the Beam.

The 59,000 sq ft office and leisure building is now due to be completed early next year.

Leader of Sunderland City Council, Councillor Graeme Miller, told the Sunderland Echo: “The redevelopment of this site is of massive strategic importance to the future of our city, and we can all be delighted that building is about to resume.

“We have been working hard with Siglion to find new construction partners since Carillion got into difficulties and believe in Tolent that we have found the company best placed and prepared to take things forward.”
