Plume Academy Expansion: Groundworks and External Works in Maldon
Groundwork subcontractor to Cadman Construction on a live school site: a new car park, two foundation slabs and the full external works.
PLUME ACADEMY EXPANSION PROJECT
LGL Groundworks is proud to support the Plume Academy Expansion Project as the appointed Groundwork Subcontractor for Cadman Construction. This major development enhances the school’s infrastructure through precision groundwork and robust foundation works.
Our team began with the construction of a new car park before completing two large foundations — one 820m² and another 1120m² — both delivered to the highest standards. We’re now progressing with extensive external works to create a fully functional and durable environment. All site staff are DBS-checked, ensuring safety and compliance throughout the project.

How the job ran
Plume Academy is adding around 300 secondary places over three academic years. Cadman Construction needed large foundations delivered to programme on a live school site, with every operative DBS-checked and site access, deliveries and working hours planned around the school day.
We deliver groundworks, foundations and external works for education and commercial projects across Essex and Suffolk. See our groundwork contractors and foundations pages, or the areas we cover.
Car park Complete
Built first, giving the site a hard-standing base for deliveries and welfare before the main works began.
Foundations Complete
Two reinforced foundation slabs of 820m² and 1,120m², excavated, formed and poured to the engineer’s design so the superstructure could start on programme.
External works In progress
Paths, kerbs, paved areas and landscaping around the new buildings.
