Highways & Infrastructure
OUR EXPERTISE
Allied Infrastructure has a strong track record of delivering works within the highways and infrastructure sectors. We are able to bring a number of strengths to these projects, including self-delivery capabilities, materials expertise, and experience of working within pressurised, constrained environments. This is highly valuable for highways projects, which often have to be delivered within Traffic Management (TM) and limited durations.
​
Our experience includes works to highways (local roads and strategic roads), bridges, tunnels, utilities, and a variety other infrastructure. Example works include:
-
Drilling for bollards, posts and Vehicle Restraint Systems (VRS)
-
Localised repairs to concrete and asphalt pavements
-
Re-construction of concrete pavements using rapid-set materials (such as PQX), to minimise the duration of road closures
-
Man-hole reinstatement
-
Specialist cutting works
-
Surface preservation of highways, using Rhinophalt ©
-
Line-marking
HIGHWAYS & INFRASTRUCTURE
Irwell Valley
Allied Infrastructure completed these works for Colas, who are an approved Vehicle Restraint Systems (VRS) contractor under National Highways’ Scheme Delivery Framework (SDF). This project required over-coring of the concrete central reserve in 1,000+, to facilitate the replacement of the existing steel barrier, with a new barrier system. 2 of our multi-skilled Operatives were deployed to deliver these works, with approximately 45 x cores completed each shift, typically 212mm in diameter, and up to 550mm deep.
These works were completed within Traffic Management (TM), with a full closure of the junction in place. While this helped to mitigate safety risks, the key challenge on this project was the need to co-ordinate with full multiple trades working within the closure. Our team managed this through pre-shift and post-shift co-ordination with the Principal Contractor, and other sub-contractors working on site.
Daily collaborative planning ensured that all parties understood the planned works, helping to mitigate people-plant interface risks, clashes, and other issues. This “one team” approach ultimately allowed this project to be delivered to programme, with the busy junction re-opened to traffic in line with the agreed timescales.
