Rail Projects

Eurotunnel Folkestone

Tower Construction worked closely with Railscape to support the design and construction of a new pet agility area at the Eurotunnel Terminal in Folkestone.

Rail Projects

Laindon Lift Room

Tower Construction was contracted by Railscape to deliver a package of building and structural works at Laindon Station for c2c.

Tower Construction won a competitive tender to build a 3-storey block of three flats known as Stamford Court, on a highly constrained site in Romford. The project was completed to a very high standard, with no significant defects. Arron Vickery and his team were consistently professional, demonstrating excellent technical knowhow and proactive problem-solving skills. The team’s interpersonal and communication skills were equally impressive, with the contractors maintaining good neighbourly relations with everyone affected by the works. All contractual issues were dealt with perfectly transparently, making it straightforward to monitor costs and progress. I would be delighted to recommend Tower Construction unreservedly for similar (and more complex) projects.

Architect Peter Wislocki - Managing Director iARCH

Tower has been working with us since 2019, successfully completing the design and construction of one of our offices in Rayleigh, Essex. We were highly impressed with the efficiency of the project, from the initial design phase to the final construction. Tower Construction has now become one of our main construction suppliers, providing us with valuable support for our building and maintenance projects in the rail industry. We anticipate continuing our partnership with them on future projects and foresee a long-term collaboration together.

James Phipps Rail Scape -

Our business suffered a large fire in December 2022 destroying the kitchen in the back part of our garden centre. We contacted Tower construction to secure the site originally as we had worked with Arron Vickery the director 15 years prior as he was part of the team that built the garden centre originally. From start to finish we've been extremely happy with the Tower team especially working with Lewis the site manager who has worked with us to get the kitchen and garden centre up and running as it should be and we are extremely happy with what the electrical and construction team have achieved.
