Balfour Beatty celebrates 100th SCAPE Civil Engineering project

The £7 million project saw Balfour Beatty deliver a series of major junction, carriageway and roundabout improvement works to reduce traffic congestion and increase capacity along the A51 corridor between Tarvin and Chester. To mark the completion, the team will plant 100 trees with Cheshire West and Cheshire Council, over the coming weeks.

Balfour Beatty has been the sole contractor on both the SCAPE Civil Engineering and SCAPE Scotland Civil Engineering frameworks for several years having first been appointed in 2015, working with over 40 public sector customers to complete 100 projects, valued at £530 million, on time and to budget.

Balfour Beatty has completed a wide range of notable schemes through the frameworks which have connected communities and helped local authorities unlock vital regional growth, including the construction of a new train station in Reading, the completion of a flood protection scheme in Perth and the delivery of a new bridge in Ebbsfleet.

In addition, Balfour Beatty has gone above and beyond to provide training and employment opportunities for thousands of people, £360 million of the project value was spent with supply chains within 40 miles of the project sites, 55,000 tons of waste has been diverted from landfill and numerous volunteering and fundraising schemes have been delivered; equating to £264 million of social value added to local communities.
