Key highway activities carried out include:

• Trunk roads, distributor roads and link roads including dual carriageway, roundabouts and 3 or 4 way traffic light controlled junctions
• Cut/fill earthworks, cutting and embankment construction, lime/cement soil modification for formation and capping layers
• Retaining walls including sheet piled, reinforced concrete, gabions and brickwork
• Slope stabilisation by reinforced earth, ground anchors, soil nails and geo-textiles
• Section 278 works including local highway and junction  improvements
• Commercial and residential estate roads to adoptable standards, e.g. 1.5km of dual & single carriageway, roundabouts and plot accesses for a commercial development in Dudley, West Midlands
• Car and bus parks e.g.10,000m2 school car and bus park constructed as part of major residential development under a land swap arrangement in Nantwich, Cheshire 

• Cycle ways, footpaths and pedestrian crossings
• Pedestrian subways, underpasses and culverted watercourses
• Bituminous surfacing including asphalt, anti-skid and reinforced overlays
• Concrete roads, pavements, storage areas, service yards and loading areas Block paving including patterned machine laid areas up to 24,000m2 for major distribution centre service yards   
• Speed control measures
• Street lighting and signing, barriers and fencing
• Foul and surface water sewers to development areas including off site sewers
• Highway drainage, interceptors, SUD’s balancing ponds, flow control structures and outfalls
• Utilities installation & management including installation of ducting and service trenches
• Co-ordinating diversion works by multiple statutory undertakers.
• Phased traffic and pedestrian management including working in busy town centre environments

• Road, river and footbridges in pre-cast concrete, in-situ reinforced concrete and steel
  
• Bridge abutments including sheet piled cofferdams and cfa piling
  
• Bridge deck replacement and waterproofing
  
• Bridge re-construction including listed structures, brickwork and masonry

In 2004 we completed the construction of an innovative and award winning 15.0m single span skewed arch bridge across the River Weaver as part of the A534 Kingsley Fields Distributor Road, Nantwich, Cheshire. The  ‘Sir Thomas Fairfax Bridge’ main span was constructed from pre-cast concrete arch beams, spandrels, parapets and cap stones supplied by Macrete (Ireland). The pre-cast spandrel elements were faced with cast-in brickwork which was matched in-situ for abutment completion. Bridge abutments required construction of sheet piled cofferdams and CFA piling with in situ reinforced concrete pile cap and abutments. A pedestrian walkway was incorporated through each abutment with lighting and drainage.

The innovative design was chosen to blend in with existing bridges in Nantwich and also to minimise the significant environmental and temporary works constraints associated with the river crossing.

• Redundant subway and underpass infilling.
  
  

The Company has carried out subway infilling using a number of different techniques such as foam concrete,  sand or grout infill. We have recently developed a cost effective surface based underground void infilling system which has been used to infill 9 redundant sub-ways in Telford.. Based on its dual head drilling rigs and using an auger fed rotary spinning material distribution unit to spread infilling materials, material can be spread up to a 15m radius from the point of infilling.

Subways are infilled from single mid point infilling positions using the modified drilling unit. Infill materials such as lean mix concrete or cement bound stone are delivered by truck mixer and discharged into a feed hopper.

The small footprint of the unit allows the set up points to be chosen to minimise traffic disruption and traffic management requirements. Headwalls are constructed at each end of the subway and each subway in filled in a day.
