Services
Civil Engineering
We deliver comprehensive civil engineering solutions including highway reconstruction, traffic signal installations, and public realm improvements. Our projects range from 510,000 environmental upgrades to 3.85m section 278 developments. With Constructionline Gold membership, we manage both capital schemes and maintenance contracts for local authorities and private developers across North West England and the Midlands.
Road Planing
Our road planing division operates one of the UK's largest fleets, handling projects from minor repairs to full-depth carriageway cuts. Using Wirtgen machines capable of 360mm single-pass cuts, we service motorways and A-roads while recycling 100,000+ tonnes of material annually. Certified by Safeplane, our 24/7 operations include night working to minimise traffic disruption and maintain safety standards.
Temporary Barriers
We supply and install N2TCB concrete barriers and Varioguard metal systems for highway safety. Our Sector Scheme 2B approved installations meet European standards for 70mph vehicle restraint. These systems create secure work zones during roadworks and protect infrastructure. We offer 24/7 emergency deployment with trained supervisors available for immediate response to highway safety requirements.
Recycling
Our recycling facility at M6 Junction 24 processes reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) to produce specification-grade materials. Complying with WRAP protocols, we supply 50%+ recycled content asphalt to major industry players. By avoiding waste transfer regulations through T5 exemptions, we reduce client carbon footprints while maintaining quality standards for road surfacing applications across the North West region.
Emergency Services
Our dedicated 24/7 emergency team handles urgent highway requirements including barrier installation, accident site remediation, and temporary traffic management. With rapid deployment capabilities across our operating regions, we provide immediate solutions for infrastructure protection and road safety incidents. This service integrates with our standard planing and civil engineering operations to ensure continuous client support.
