Highways Maintenance Contract secured in Hackney

  • By Marlborough Highways

Civil engineering and infrastructure services company Marlborough Highways has been awarded an eight-year contract. The contract is in four separate lots which include surfacing, street lighting, road marking and civil engineering for Hackney.

The contract between Hackney and Marlborough Highways will start in July 2020. It will run for four years with the option to extend for a further four years. Value: £100 million. The Contract will cover improvements of footways, carriageways, street lighting and other associated highways maintenance works. This will enable the council to deliver its Sustainable Procurement Strategy for the benefit of residents and businesses.

Marlborough has worked with Hackney since 2011 on a Highway Term Contract for road markings. They have been involved in numerous projects such as traffic management and gully cleansing.

Matthew Revell, Managing Director at Marlborough Highways commented “We are delighted to have won this Contract with the London Borough of Hackney which is a testament to our experience and our people. We are committed to Hackney’s Sustainable Procurement Strategy and will work very closely the community providing local employment, training, apprenticeships as well as helping them achieve their environmental objectives.”

Marlborough’s in-house capability, resources and processes will help deliver a full-service offering, whilst being flexible and responsive to meet the needs of Hackney. A key part of the Contract is Hackney’s environmental targets. This includes; new LED street lighting, cycle routes, walking enhancement projects, sustainable drainage systems (SuDS), bus projects and tree planting. Working as ‘one team’, Hackney can rely on Marlborough’s expertise and the experience of people within the organisation.

Cllr Jon Burke, Hackney Council Cabinet Member for Energy, Waste, Transport and Public Realm, said: “We’re looking forward to partnering with Marlborough Highways, who will help us tackle the Climate Emergency and meet ambitions to make our transport network even more sustainable. This will be achieved through new LED lighting upgrades across the borough to reduce energy consumption, improved facilities for pedestrians and cyclists, sustainable urban drainage and the largest urban street tree planting scheme in the country.”

Marlborough has an existing site in Hare Row, London which currently serves the Highway Term Contract for Hackney. Marlborough has plans to develop the site to better serve Hackney’s four lots which have been awarded. The site will be able to service other Contracts in London as the company continues to grow in line with objectives.

“One of the things I value most is their very collaborative and transparent team culture. It makes a big difference to have a contractor that wants to work closely with us and is supportive and responsive. With Marlborough, I get a team who are attentive, work collaboratively and honestly with me and don’t lose focus on delivering first class communications and compliance.”
Carly Norris, Project Manager Operations, Hackney Council
“From the design stage, Marlborough has been fundamental in delivering the Broad Lane Square improvements scheme. During the works, not only did the team manage to keep to the programme, but they went the extra mile to ensure attention to detail and came up with innovative solutions to address issues encountered on site. My thanks on behalf of Haringey goes out to Marlborough for their dedication to deliver.”
Dana Rasheed, Project Manager, Haringey Council
“Working alongside our Term Service Contractor Marlborough Highways, we successfully completed renovations to the Crowstone Footbridge. The designs were provided by Marlborough, and the work was unique. The scheme was completed to budget and ahead of its programme duration.”
Neil Handley, Senior Engineer, Southend-on-Sea City Council
“I would like to thank you and your team for your efforts, the Marlborough crews were professional, courteous, and hard working all day and ensured the event went without a hitch. You and the team were a credit to the company, demonstrating commitment and support to the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.”
Nick Davies, Specialist Services Manager, Barking and Dagenham Council
“I just wanted to say what a pleasure it has been to work with Marlborough Highways over the last six months. The quality of work is superb, and there has been some excellent collaboration between Milestone and Marlborough to complete, what at times, has been quite a challenging scheme. I hope to work with Marlborough on another project in the near future.”
Colin Hill, Schemes Manager, Milestone Infrastructure
“Marlborough worked with us in constructing a 1.3km cycle track. There were a number of technical difficulties to overcome, and their gifted foreman worked to propose some innovative solutions to the challenges we faced. The result is a facility that the locals are proud of, providing walkers and cyclists with alternative access to the hospital and nearby school. The scheme was a lot of hard work, but well worth it.”
Rob Venables, NEC Project Manager, Essex County Council
“Marlborough attracts people who take care and have pride in their work. Several gangs of Operatives worked tirelessly for six months to reconstruct drainage networks, lay more than 3km of high quality bespoke granite kerbs and granite channels blocks to ensure positive drainage. The technical compliance, attention to detail and level of quality finish along the entire carriageway was exceptional”.
Mark Chiverrell, Technical Director, Project Centre
“We saw huge benefits in appointing Marlborough as our full service contractor and we’re impressed – they’ve delivered consistent high quality service and superior quality control across every project. Marlborough, provide us with a ‘one-stop’ shop solution – we get the same quality of service and better control across all aspects of the project.”
Darren Bryant, Principal Engineer, Enfield Council
