Aggregate Industries completes major works on A14 ahead of schedule
LEADING construction and infrastructure player Aggregate Industries, working in collaboration with the A14 Integrated Delivery Team, has completed all major works on one of the UK’s largest infrastructure projects – Highways England’s A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon Improvement Scheme.
The improved road officially opened for traffic on 5 May – eight months ahead of the scheduled opening date.
Negotiating the supply of material and installation of such a major infrastructure project was a significant achievement for Aggregate Industries’ Asphalt and Contracting teams. In total, over 1.6 million square metres of road
was constructed and surfaced, and 10 kilometres of non-motorised user pathways created.
This required more than 730,000 tonnes of asphalt to be manufactured at a purpose-built plant on site and laid to an industry-leading standard, along with in excess of 550,000 tonnes of low- carbon cement bound granular mixture (CBGM), manufactured on a mobile cementitious mixing plant by SiteBatch.
To satisfy stringent noise restrictions where the scheme passes through built- up areas, Aggregate Industries utilised its unique ultra-low noise asphalt, 10mm SuperThin. This reduces noise levels by 7.8db(A) when compared with traditional hot rolled asphalt (HRA).
Paddy Murphy, managing director of contracting at Aggregate Industries, said: “The early opening of the A14 to traffic is a monumental achievement. It is testament to the collaboration of all teams involved that we have delivered the UK’s largest, most prestigious infrastructure project to date in such good time, whilst meeting the highest safety standards.
“We’re also delighted that amongst the disruption caused by the coronavirus outbreak, we were able to continue to work safely by adopting stringent measures and sticking to social distancing guidelines. The resulting road ensures that deliveries of vital supplies and key workers will be able to reach their destination.”
