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.
Jackson used this key road scheme to not only improve traffic flows in the transport quarter of Gravesend but also involve local school children in an innovative heritage street art project.
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.
Jackson was appointed as main contractor on this scheme, which involved a design and build upgrade of the existing single carriageway A2300 to a dual carriageway, linking the Sussex town of Burgess Hill to the A23/M23 strategic road.
Jackson Civil Engineering has signed up to be a Gold Member of Women into Construction (WIC) with a view to launching a number of initiatives to encourage more women to consider a job in the sector.
A regional engineer at Jackson has won a prestigious industry award for his work engaging with schools and colleges to give students an insight into the world of civil engineering.
