Bridge clearance on minor B road supports crucial infrastructure inspection

Published on 08 Dec 2022

We don’t only work on high-speed roads; we also work on minor connecting roads too. Last month our team in the South, were working on a project between Basingstoke and New Alresford just off the B3046.

The bridge on the road was getting somewhat overgrown, so our brief was to clear the bridge for a crucial inspection. The bridges need to be checked regularly to ensure they’re holding up against the weight of the traffic and infrastructure using them.

For this job, there were four operatives on site, using chainsaws, hedge cutters and brush-cutters, along with a 3.5 tonne tipping van and a chipper. The road itself was incredibly narrow so we needed a whole road closure in order to complete the job. Working quickly, traffic management was on and off within four hours so we could minimise the disruption to local road users.

“Chevron Green Consultancy, as part of our strategic supply chain have been working on landscape assessments within our survey programme of the soft estate. These surveys ascertain requirements for specific habitat management, resulting in a valuable data source which will inform effective future resource allocation and asset management. Our innovation in commissioning the surveys and the very high-quality data provided from CGC has been recognised nationally by National Highways as the standard required across all areas and is now the benchmark set for other areas to achieve.”

“Chevron Traffic Management has recently had the pleasure of working alongside Chevron Green Services on the Southwest M&R cyclic maintenance grass cutting works. The benefits this has given us has made a big impact on being able to maximise outputs whilst also collaborating with other works across the network. Having all this in-house has streamlined our processes and allowed us to build even stronger relationships throughout the Group businesses and with our client Ringway. It has been great working with Chevron Green Services, and we look forward to working alongside them for the rest of these works and future works to come.”

“From the offset Chevron Green Services were very professional. At the very first meeting Chevron Green Services reinforced Kier Highways strict stakeholder management policy and offered up assurances to a worried landowner. These assurances were upheld tenfold as the project met its conclusion. National Highways and Kier Highways were very happy with the stakeholder management as well as the quality of the works and agreed that they are happy to continue to work with Chevron Green Services in the future.”

Michael Smith, Project Manager Area 4 Schemes Dept, Kier Highways

“Chevron Green Services were very helpful throughout the scheme. The team undertook the works safely and used appropriate technology (such as robocutters) to eliminate risks where possible. The team were knowledgeable and even managed to easily accommodate vast changes to the scope of works when this was required.”
