GW Highways’ Post

Another great example of how GW Highways improve outcomes for the communities in which we operate!  Here are some images of a recent scheme carried out in Meopham on behalf of our client, Kent County Council. A local resident said, “I have to say, your guys working on the project were so diligent throughout the process. The result is fabulous – so much quieter. Much appreciated!” Another resident said, "We would like to compliment your staff on keeping the noise to a minimum. The resulting surface looks brilliant and is great to drive on. It's made tyres sound quieter too. All very good indeed. Thank you and well done!” Great work from team GW Highways as we continue to ‘Build Back Better’!   

For the second time GW Highways have trialed the all-electric Paver – SD1800W E from Dynapac UK, this time on one of our schemes for Brent Council.  The SD1800W E produces zero carbon emissions at point of use. Inner cities account for 60% of the global greenhouse gas emissions. The SD1800W E has an electro-hydraulic system, where the diesel engine and gearbox were replaced within an axial flux electric motor directly powering the hydraulic pumps. The SD1800W E reduces noise levels by 20%, another environmental benefit when working in urban areas.     Luke Wenham, Highways Director said, “The Z. ERA paver is a great push towards an emission free workplace and will have a place alongside hydrogen and alternative fuel driven engines. We need the charging infrastructure expanded in the United Kingdom to make these machines a viable choice in reducing our carbon footprint in the highway’s industry.”    Climate change is one of the most serious threats facing global society. We all need to make every effort to reduce our carbon footprint as much as we can; GW Highways are proud to be leading the industry in this necessary change.  #Brent #GWH #Dynapac #Highways #NetZero #CarbonNeutralNow Donato Campanaro

For the third-year running GW Highways are visiting Demelza House to donate gifts, easter eggs and crafts. Some of the donations will be used for Demelza’s annual easter egg hunt taking place on Good Friday and the rest are being delivered to the families that Demelza supports.  Demelza Charity has now been running for 26 years, delivering extraordinary care to extraordinary children facing serious or life-limiting conditions whilst also providing support for all the family.   As a charity, Demelza is almost entirely dependent on people providing the funds that keep their services going. Any donations to Demelza House would be hugely appreciated, you can donate via their website – https://lnkd.in/d7bXvjWJ #GWH #DemelzaHouse #Donation #Easter #SouthEast #Highways 

#InternationalWomensDay! The campaign theme for International Women’s Day 2024 is Inspire Inclusion. When we inspire others to understand and value women’s inclusion, we forge a better world.   In a male dominated industry, GW Highways continue to support and promote the powerful women in our workforce. Gone are the times that women need to convert their sizes into men's, which can be ill fitting and not fit for purpose. In this fully inclusive environment GW Highways have provided women's PPE to all those staff that require it.  #IWD2024 #InspireInclusion #WomenInConstruction #BuildBackBetter #GWH #SouthEast International Women's Day 2024

GW Highways are delighted to be reconstructing part of the A299 Thanet Way on behalf of Kent County Council.  We will excavate the road to a significant depth and rebuild it with a much stronger construction, using specialist stabilisation products, different sized aggregates and multiple layers of asphalt. Strategic Asset Manager at Kent County Council Highways, Alan Casson MCIHT said: “We are absolutely delighted that GW Highways, our Road Asset Renewal Contractor for the last three years, is delivering this vital infrastructure project for Kent. We have worked closely with them over the last year to develop an innovative design. That, together with our confidence in the planning and delivery capability, means we have confidence that they will complete this project on time minimising disruption to the residents and businesses of Kent, and that the underlying ground conditions will be resolved once and for all.”    Following the completion of these works, the structural integrity of the road will be far more resilient, reducing the need for reactive repairs, the associated frequent and disruptive traffic management and improving the ride quality of Kent’s highway users. We don’t just maintain; we build back better!   To read the full article click the link below. #A299 #ThanetWay #KCC #GWH
