    Great visit to see our Geotech team installing rockfall protection measures along a length of 400m of the Rhigos Road. The stabilisation measures include both passive and active netting together with rockfall containment measures, including rockfall attenuators and flexible rockfall barriers. The use of rockfall attenuators in the UK is uncommon and Griffiths worked with our designer Hydrock, and supplier Geobrugg, to deploy the first of these new systems to Wales.

  • Inspiring the Next Generation of Civil Engineers: University Students Visit Our Project Site! We were thrilled to host a group of enthusiastic civil engineering students from Cardiff University for a site visit at our Stephenson Street Flood Scheme in Newport. During their visit, the students had the opportunity to see first-hand how classroom concepts translate into real-world applications. Our team guided them through various aspects of the project, including structural design, project management, safety protocols, and innovative construction techniques. The students asked insightful questions, showing a keen interest in everything from the materials being used to the intricate processes that bring a blueprint to life. It’s always inspiring to see the next generation of engineers so engaged and passionate. We hope this hands-on experience gave them a clearer perspective on the challenges and rewards of civil engineering, and we’re confident that the future of the industry is in good hands. A big thank you to Cardiff University and the students for making the visit a success. We look forward to seeing some of you on our team in the future!

  • We are proud to share that we recently received a thank-you letter from Gwili Railway, expressing their gratitude following our involvement in the donation of the former Taff Vale Railway footbridge from Treforest Station. This donation was made possible through the collective efforts of our Core Valley Line delivery team and the Craidd Alliance. In their letter, Gwili Railway highlighted how the bridge will become a focal landmark at their Abergwili Junction Station, linking between its two platforms.

  • A key milestone was achieved this week on our A40 Llanddewi Velfrey to Redstone Cross Improvements Project, with the first pour to the deck of the Llanfallteg Bridge. A 65-meter concrete pump was used by our subcontractor CSF to place the concrete. This allowed our key highway works to continue below the bridge. Our thanks to the local community for their ongoing cooperation. Concrete Structures & Floors Llywodraeth Cymru Economi | Welsh Government Economy

  • This Recycle Week, we’re excited to share how we’re reducing the amount of our PPE that ends up in landfill! Traditional PPE can be tough on the environment, but at Griffiths, we’re making a change. By collaborating with Rugbi Industrial Supplies and Leo Workwear, we’ve developed eco-friendly alternatives that don’t compromise on safety. We’re proud to have piloted a breakthrough in recyclable workwear, featuring increased recycled content and reducing waste. This is part of our ongoing 2023 initiative, where we partnered with Rugbi and Avena to reuse and recycle as much PPE as possible. Items that can’t be reused are securely shredded and recycled, with remaining parts converted to energy. These new garments mean less waste and more sustainability. Together with Rugbi Industrial Supplies and Leo Workwear, we’re taking steps toward a safer, greener future where protecting our people and the planet goes hand in hand. #RecycleWeek #Sustainability #PPE #EcoFriendly Rugbi Industrial Supplies Ltd Leo Workwear Avena Group
