Highways, Wiltshire

What was
needed

A busy main road in Wiltshire was in need of a new surface. There were signs of underlying issues in the subbase, which might have needed to be addressed. Iron works and kerbs repairs were also required. Works had to be carried out at night over 3 shifts under a road closure.

How we
achieved it

Starting with a site meeting with our client, we established that safety to the public was paramount. We approached the job over 3 nights to maintain a safe daytime public experience. Night 1 was to be existing surface plane off and to establish condition of underlying base. Night 2 would be to repair iron work and kerbs. Night 3 would be installation of new surface, carry out white lining and remove all plant and machinery from site.

achieved it

Having been awarded the contract 3 weeks prior to the project start date, we had work to do. First, we identified the issues. The site is home to over 40 different haulier companies all with different daily delivery times, we had to make sure that access was always kept.
