With the UK entering a recession and the government making necessary budget cuts throughout many sectors, it’s looking as though budgets for highway schemes will be reduced for 2023, forcing projects to focus on preventative and life extending highway repairs as opposed to replacements.
Among many of the accreditations that LMS Highways holds, one of the most notable is our ISO 9001. This accreditation is the international standard that defines the requirements for a Quality Management System.
LMS Highways are a national supplier of specialist highways maintenance projects including high early strength concrete repair. Using rapid repair technology developed over 30 years in the Highways sector, the LMS team are able to remove and reinstate concrete bays within an impressive six-hour period.
For many years LMS Highways has been using a vacuum lifting system for fast and efficient concrete bay removal. Vacuum lifting equipment is widely used in many industrial sectors for the lifting and handling of materials that have a flat or smooth surface. In particular, materials such as concrete slabs, metal or glass panes and pipes etc. can be easily lifted and handled using vacuum lifting equipment.
Starting in June LMS Highways assisted in the A1 Buckden Roundabout major renewal project which consisted of resurfacing, road stud replacement and line marking. LMS Highways were on site to provide the concrete bay and deep surface removal, sub-base replacement and disposal portion of this project.
Over the past year and a half LMS Highways has been working with Costain on the Area 4 Interim Construction Works Framework (CWF) contract delivering various highway repair services. Locations included; A21 Kippington & Dibden Lane, A2 Boughton and M2 Colewood Underbridge.
In recent months members of the RSTA – Road Surface Treatments Association, have voted to appoint LMS Highways Director Paul Winter as chair of their Maintenance of Concrete Pavements committee. Read more

This one has been on the cards for a while and has kept me on the straight(ish) and narrow(ish).”
