Costain announces that National Highways has appointed a Costain and Mott
MacDonald joint venture as Delivery Assurance Partner for the A303 Stonehenge
Improvements Scheme
(https://mcas-proxyweb.mcas.ms/certificate-checker?login=false&originalUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fnationalhighways.co.uk.mcas.ms%2Four-work%2Fa303-stonehenge%2F%3FMcasTsid%3D15600&McasCSRF=072fb2b91a45dd86acb6c6b4656d785a1973019b27fc651ca0f061c47f394c3a)
. In this consultancy role, Costain and its partner will manage the design and
construction by the main contractor of a new dual carriageway and tunnel,
replacing the existing single carriage road.

 

The joint venture, as part of the National Highways integrated project team,
will collaborate with the customer, main contractor, supply chain, road users
and the local community to ensure the effective design and delivery of the
A303 improvement works.

 

Sue Kershaw, managing director for Transportation, Costain, commented: "This
award demonstrates Costain's growing consultancy position as an established
delivery assurance partner; where together with our customers we will be
creating connected, sustainable infrastructure that helps people and the
planet to thrive. This is the second award for our Costain Mott MacDonald
partnership and demonstrates the delivery of our strategy in meeting the wider
needs of our customers." 

 

Ken Norbury, transportation managing director, Mott MacDonald said: "We have
assembled a world class multidisciplinary team to support the delivery of this
vital upgrade project. We are proud to be chosen alongside Costain and look
forward to working collaboratively with the project team."

 

Derek Parody, National Highways' Project Director for the A303 Stonehenge
scheme, said: "We're pleased we have completed the procurement process, and
once the redetermination process is finalised, and should the Development
Consent Order be granted, having this expertise in place will put us in the
strongest possible position to deliver this transformational scheme and
deliver the benefits we know it can."

 

Once complete, the scheme will significantly improve the lives of people
living in and travelling through the area, enhance the Stonehenge World
Heritage site and the setting of the stones, while bringing economic and
environmental benefits by reducing congestion and increasing biodiversity.
