Commercial Work

The projects section undertake a variety of schemes ranging in value.  Working closely with developers and contractors, the team work on school playgrounds, new housing estate junctions, and car parks for example.

The section is responsible for delivering most of the junction improvements and traffic management schemes within the borough. The improvement schemes are designed within Environment & Economic Development Services and then passed onto the section for construction.

At any one time there could be as many as 15 schemes being constructed, ranging from a major traffic signal junction, to a small traffic calming table.

Maintenance

The team also has the responsibility for maintaining all adopted highways within the borough. To do this, the roads and footpaths are inspected on a scheduled basis, and defects are recorded to allow repairs to be scheduled.

We currently carry out over 6000 individual construction repairs on behalf of Stockport Council.  Dependant upon need, maintenance methods range from patching a pothole to the complete reconstruction of a section of road.

Recycling

The Operations section has been carrying out recycling of highway arisings for over five years. We currently recycle over 40,000 tonnes per year, resulting in the production of various types of fill material.

During the last financial year over 80% of all materials excavated from highway maintenance schemes was recycled into other useable materials.
