Construction of new roads and sewers to new housing development for Pringle Homes at Crow Trees Farm, Chatburn

Works completed for Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council on the A666 Barbara Castle Way junction Lark Hill on the busy periphery of Blackburn Town Centre.

NMS is continuing work on the A6 Corridor Works, Broughton project on time and on budget. Works are progressing including the removal of existing traffic signals at the Broughton crossroads, larger footways, dedicated cycle track sections, courtesy crossings, narrower roads, and foliage planting. 

NMS is continuing work on one of our current contracts at junction 27 of the M6 Standish on behalf of Balfour Beatt and Highways England. The Highways England scheme is well underway and involves upgrades to the cycle infrastructure and procedures to reduce congestion around the junction with the installation of full-time traffic signals.

NMS Civil Engineering has been awarded the A6 Corridor Works, Broughton job. NMS has secured the contract with work commencing from August 2018 to June 2019. The plans include the removal of existing traffic signals at the Broughton crossroads, along with larger footways, narrower roads, courtesy crossings, dedicated cycle track sections, and foliage planting. Work has already commenced with the introduction of the new cycle lane and completion of the war memorial section of Garstang Road.

NMS Civil Engineering has recently completed planing work carried out on the A55 near Anglesey between junction four and five. NMS was able to deliver the resources to process 2100 tonnes of planing in a single day despite being in a difficult area for planing disposals. We used a combination of our state of the art Wirtgen W220 and Wirtgen 2100DC planers to process over 8424 tonnes of planing over the course of a combination of night and day shifts.

NMS has been working on the M60 smart motorway at Junction 8-20 from the beginning of August 2014. NMS have been installing both Vairoguard and Zone guard barriers on behalf of Asset International. We have employed up to three installation teams on a nightly basis since August 2014 to ensure that we create a safe working zone between live traffic lanes and road-works.

NMS continue the work on the A6 at Broughton with the most recent section completed at the War Memorial on time and ready for Armistice Day.  NMS also assisted in the organisation a new plaque paying tribute to James Towers VC. James Towers, who was from the village of Broughton was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

NMS has recently installed sculptures for the Accrington town centre memorial redevelopment. The first of the brass sculptures represents ‘Patch’, the dog of Accrington Stanley F.C. groundsman Harry Nash (pictured below). The second sculpture represents a Pals’ dog who was famously pictured running along the tram lines as the troops marched in front of thousands of people outside of the town hall before leaving to go to war.
