Meet Peter Evans, our first commercial manager. Peter’s appointment comes after a string of large project wins in all areas of the business, putting our order book at record levels. “Peter has huge contract experience both in the UK and internationally,” says our Managing Director Gareth Rees. “The combination of his construction background and his legal training will mean that we are better placed to manage and build on our current success.”
With experience on major infrastructure projects throughout the UK, in south Africa and in Libya and a highly unusual skill-set, Peter Evans is one of the most experienced construction professionals in the sector. “I’m really looking forward to helping Inscapes maximise the opportunities presented by its growing portfolio of contracts,” he says. “As a Welshman, I’m even more pleased to be joining a business with its heart in Wales and its eyes on much wider horizons!”

We’re continuing the process of preparation at Cwm Wanderes as the presence of this very heavy duty equipment shows. There’s a lot to do and it’s getting a bit muddy in places but everthing is going to schedule, After this mucky bit we’ll be laser grading the area to get all the levels exactly right and then - on with the more creative part of the project! We’ll keep you posted.

Amidst the daily doom and gloom on the economic front generally it is extremely gratifying to report that we are currently as busy as we have ever been and have a degree of confidence about levels of business looking ahead.
We are currently working on another project at Morlais Castle Golf Club, a challenging 18 hole moorland course, set in the surroundings of the foothills of the Brecon Beacons. Our task is the full construction of a new tee and green - including the installation of drainage. We’re also building new buggy tracks and improving the drainage of an existing green. We started a few weeks ago and expect to finish in about two weeks.

Rhiwbina RFC celebrates 50 years of existence in 2012 – a significant achievement for a club which started life after a notice was pinned up in the local post office. We have just won the contract to install floodlighting there which will mark a significant anniversary improvement. We laid all the cables this week and hope to install the columns and have it all operational within two weeks.

The words tragic and tragedy are much overused these days but seem hardly adequate to describe the death of such a well loved man still in his prime and with so much still to offer. Communities need heroes and Gary Speed’s sporting life was famously heroic: it enriched our national life. As a business with its roots in Wales and such close connections with our national stadium we relished the promise he brought of great days to come for Welsh football. But at the last this is a private loss so the thoughts and prayers of many will be with Gary’s wife Louise, and their two sons, and it is to them that everyone at Inscapes extends their deepest sympathies.

Since the formation of Inscapes Electrical we’ve become more and more involved in lighting projects for different kinds of sporting venue. Here we are installing four huge lighting columns for the University of Wales Caerlon campus. We needed to use a crane with an extra long jib so that there was no damage caused to the playing surface. We have another two similar projects to undertake in the very near future.

Hard to imagine that by the end of February this patch of scrubland will be an FA standard football pitch for Cwm Wanderers at Ystradlefera in the Swansea valley – but we’re determined that it will be.
In fact, we have now cleared all this vegetation and are currently stripping the soil that is presently on site so we can start pitch construction which will include fencing all around it. Incidentally, this is the fourth pitch we have built this year in partnership with Willmott Dixon who are also building a new club house here.

It has long been known that bigger turf rolls mean not only faster work at the time of laying but quicker establishment (and playability) because there are fewer joints to knit together. We’ve taken this to something like the ultimate with our brand new turf layer which lays huge slabs of turf in rapid succession.
The equipment was designed and built in house in specific response to the need for better and quicker results at world class venues like the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. The pictures below (working clockwise from top left) show the installation at the Millennium in progress with, at number 4, a delighted Craig (the assistant Groundsman at the Millennium) on the new turf.
