𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗗𝗮𝗺𝘀 Across our ‘Active Travel’ civils scheme in the city centre of Sheffield, Kelham Neepsend, we are installing several Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS). Essentially these are ‘pocket parks’ to catch, store, absorb and clean rainwater and run off, as well as attracting birds and insects to the area. The planting will be perennial meaning there will be greenery all year round. Within the SuDS, Sisk have installed ‘check dams’ for controlling water flows that were manufactured off site using cement replacement techniques to assist in these areas, which has more than halved the carbon used in their manufacture and install. Lee Long, Senior Project Manager at the site, says: “We’re really proud of the check dams we’ve procured for the Kelham Neepsend project. The more traditional alternatives weren’t good options in terms of their carbon footprint, so to adopt a solution that substantially reduces this is something we really focus on across Sisk projects. We’re always looking at the latest innovative techniques to reduce the impact on the environment.” #WeAreSisk #innovationinaction #civilengineering #construction #lowcarbon Dominic Hodges Scott Cooper Mike Widdicks Lee Long CMgr MCMI Tom Byrne Barry Ryan Jon Bennett

VolkerFitzpatrick Ltd embarks on the prep work for the £210m M3 Junction upgrade near #Winchester in #Hampshire. National Highways has given the green light for compound construction and vegetation management, with construction scheduled to kick off in early 2025 and conclude in late 2027. The ambitious project includes creating four traffic lanes in each direction of the M3 and establishing a same-direction free-flow link between the M3 and A34. In addition, VolkerFitzpatrick will construct three new bridges, rearrange the main junction 9 roundabout, and introduce various other structures such as new underpasses. An environmentally-conscious approach is being adopted, with the reuse of existing sub-base materials to minimise environmental impact.
