SALDEN PLACE SOUTH WEST MILTON KEYNES

Salden Place is set to be a cornerstone of the exciting Bletchley and Milton Keynes Expansion, transforming the South West Milton Keynes area into a vibrant community filled with diverse and affordable housing options.

This ambitious development will span over two hectares of land dedicated to fostering local job opportunities and cultivating a neighbourhood brimming with prospects, amenities and culture.

In May 2024, this development project commenced, with Taylor Wimpey appointing ECL as the principal contractor for the initial phase of construction along Buckingham Road.

This project has faced a variety of challenges, particularly during the excavation process. The use of a vacuum excavator proved essential in safely uncovering the existing carriageway and verges. This method allowed the team to navigate and reveal a complex network of hidden utilities beneath the surface, including a critical high voltage (HV) cable. By employing vacuum excavation techniques, the project team not only minimised disruption but also ensured the safety of all, paving the way for a smoother development process.
