Throughout the lockdown, LMS Highways crews have continued to deliver essential works to keep the countries roads and infrastructure fit for purpose. Repairing failing manhole covers is one example of the key services that LMS Highways provides.
Manholes and gullies are often the weak point in a carriageway or trunk road and with the UK’s ever greater traffic flows some ironworks are being subject to loads which they were often not designed to cope with or they have simply reached the end of their lifespan.
During these challenging and uncertain times, one message from the UK Government is clear – Stay at Home, Protect the NHS, Save Lives.
Maintaining a safe and usable highway network is crucial to ensure our key workers can continue travelling to places of work and essential deliveries can be made throughout the country to those in need. To guarantee this remains possible, LMS Highways crews are working across the country providing operationally essential road repairs. Most recently working for A-one+ Area-4 delivering major motorway repairs on the M20 Junction 8 – 9 which included several full depth, rapid concrete bay replacements all whilst complying with the construction leadership council’s guidelines for COVID-19.
Congratulations to the LMS Highways M20 site team and our refined supply chain for receiving a Highways England Award.
This year LMS Highways worked as a tier 2 contractor for A-one+ providing extensive rapid concrete repairs to the M20 junction 8-9. Throughout this project we received a health & safety site audit from Highways England.
Did you know that EVERY single working day in the UK two construction workers take their own life? And that stress, anxiety and depression account for a fifth of all work-related illness?

Back in May a light aircraft came down onto the A40 dual carriageway near Abergavenny, Wales. The occupants escaped moments before a fire took hold of the plane. As a result, the concrete carriageway suffered severe damage and required full bay replacement, joint sealing and new road markings.
At LMS Highways we pride ourselves on delivering package works like these which benefit customers with increased accountability, single point of contact and often providing 10-15% savings.
LMS Highways has begun their countdown for Highways UK 2019, which returns to the NEC, Birmingham on 6/7 November. Read more
The LMS Highways project team have been busy refurbishing sections of an urban concrete road in Kent. Works included new kerbing, concrete bay replacements, white lining and joint sealing which perfectly demonstrates the company’s unique ability to deliver a wide range of services under one point of accountability. The recent run of hot weather has proven challenging but didn’t stop the team from finishing 3 days ahead of schedule.
LMS Highways working on behalf of Coupe Line recently visited Associated British Ports, Southampton, to provide Fill & Overband Crack Repair to their damaged port access road.
Before AB Ports could have the excessively damaged access road re-surfaced, any crack deeper than 3mm required Joint Sealing to ensure a successful finish on the new road surface.
