Construction materials provider Breedon and infrastructure solutions company Colas are extending their working relationship into a formal Joint Venture (JV) which has secured a place on the UK's Pavement Delivery Framework (PDF) for National Highways.
The new JV brings together expertise from both organisations to deliver an end-to-end products and surfacing solution. The companies will be working together for the next five years and partnering with National Highways to deliver the framework in line with the National Highways imperatives of customer, safety and delivery.
The partners say their new JV creates an opportunity for the teams to work in collaboration and bring together their innovative thinking from UK and Europe, in particular sharing knowledge around securing decarbonisation to support National Highways ambitious programme of achieving net zero for maintenance and construction.
Faical Lahmamsi, chief executive of Colas, said: “We are confident that our combined expertise will deliver strongly for National Highways and will allow our teams to share and learn in a truly collaborative partnership that will not only produce excellent results for National Highways but will also create the opportunity to develop innovative approaches that will benefit the highways sector.”
James Haluch, MD of Breedon’s GB surfacing solutions business, said: “This is an exciting step forward for our Surfacing Solutions and wider Breedon business. We are delighted to be able to collaborate with Colas on this joint venture to deliver an exemplar service and bring new thinking to put roads at the heart of Britain’s net zero future.”
