As part of the SMP Alliance, we worked with National Highways to deliver the National Emergency Area Retrofit (NEAR) programme ahead of schedule. The £390m programme added nearly 140 emergency areas to the road network, improving resilience and safety for 200,000 motorists a day. Costain's Toby Bedford CEng FICE has spoken to New Civil Engineer to explain how they ensured an efficient, on budget delivery ahead of schedule. This included standardising traffic management systems and establishing a kit-of-parts approach to enable consistency across each of the 13 schemes that made up the NEAR programme.
