Working on behalf of the Environment Agency, Jackson Civil Engineering designed and built over four kilometres of flood defences through the East Sussex port town of Newhaven.
Jackson worked closely with its supply chain partner IMAC to install technology enabling four flood storage reservoirs to operate automatically.
A Jackson team was called to Wainfleet All Saints after the Lincolnshire village hit the national news in June 2019 when two months of rain fell in three days.
Jackson worked closely with its supply chain partners to develop a ground-breaking asphalt mix that could significantly reduce the carbon footprint of surfacing works in the future.
This critical construction scheme to stabilise cliffs on the Essex coast saw the Jackson team bring considerable social value to the project by working with the local community on a number of public initiatives.
Construction of the Beccles Southern Relief Road is notable for the sophisticated drainage works that accompanied it and the raft of ecological protection measures that took place as part of the build.
The ongoing Ouse Washes project for the Environment Agency sees the Jackson team maintaining the banks of one of the largest flood storage reservoirs in the country – providing critical protection for over 2,000 homes and 67,000 hectares of valuable agricultural land.
