For strategic road authorities and local authorities, the road network is the most valuable community asset under their control. However, the management of these valuable assets is not receiving the attention it needs.
Through our highway services contracts, we're providing the management, maintenance and improvement of highway networks adopting an asset management approach aligned to the principles of PAS 55. This uses a life-cycle approach to treatment selection, using early intervention solutions to maximize use of maintenance budgets.
Adding value
Our aim is to add value for our clients at every stage of project development. This includes the adoption of "lean" principles throughout the project life cycle, active risk management, and control, while transferring the knowledge and best practice we've acquired from working on a diverse range of projects worldwide.
Our people are motivated, well trained, and experienced across all transport sectors. We actively help infrastructure owners and operators achieve their strategic objectives, by adding long-term value and optimizing performance.
Our portfolio features many long-standing commissions, proving the benefits of improved service, underpinned by practical operational and maintenance experience.
We believe that a working relationship with our partners is crucial, which is why we actively look to embed our staff into partner organizations. Our 18-year long joint venture partnership with Balfour Beatty, which has been responsible for managing and maintaining some of the busiest parts of the UK Highways Agency’s network, demonstrates this.
Our teams provide clients not only with financial benefits but with innovative, sustainable, and safe solutions.
