Maintenance work to the High Street in Newington had been planned by the client for completion by another contractor under the Road Asset Renewal Contract. SGN already had a road closure planned to conduct their own works, and KCC were keen to utilise this closure to minimise the disruption to residents. With the planned works postponed by the existing contractor, KCC approached us to complete the project.
A car fire on the busy A229 dual carriageway had caused significant damage to the road surface. KCC had deployed their HSR traffic management team to close the affected lane and contacted us to assist with the repair. Owing to our central location in Kent, our Operations Director was on site within an hour, (our targeted call to action is three hours). Inspection of the site highlighted major defects not only to the area damaged by the car fire, but in the immediate vicinity.
The Broadway Sheerness was a 1km stretch of concrete road with varying thickness of asphalt which had failed significantly. Following a ground radar survey, original plan for maintenance was to complete a full depth reconstruction (FDR) to a depth of 900mm. This would mean a costly and disruptive repair, likely to impact on existing SU apparatus. The Isle of Sheppey is renowned for poor ground conditions so an innovative solution was sought.
We think that local people are the best choice to deliver local projects. That’s why our staff are 100% local. We build in the communities that we live in, so we naturally take extra special care when we’re on a project because we’re invested in the outcome.
And because we all live and work in Kent, it means we reinvest locally. So when we say we’re putting your pound back in the ground, we really mean it.
