Freyssinet’s team at the R159 Rayhall Viaduct, alongside framework contractors Amey and Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering, has recently been awarded the Phil Stanton Award for recognition of their exceptional performance on site.
Teams were to submit evidence of ways in which they have excelled in terms of client satisfaction, health, safety, environmental and behavioural initiatives and the Lean process.
R159 Rayhall Viaduct
The R159 team shone in all areas, going above and beyond basis initiatives. This included engagement with local stakeholders, the use of innovative working methods and materials, and a range of workshops and in-house training courses. These were all reflected in HSE figures and savings made for the client. Powerful teamwork, supply chain integration and excellent stakeholder liaison all contributed to a successful collaborative approach.
R159 Rayhall Viaduct Post Tensioning Slabs
The Phil Stanton Award for excellence was established in 2003 in memory of Highways Agency worker Phil Stanton who sadly passed away in June of that year. Phil was a driving force in the establishment of Construction Management as a procurement method at both Pilot Stage and for the current Framework. The award recognises the team that has delivered an outstanding performance on their project during the year, in particular demonstrating it can provide a service which ‘goes the extra mile’ at no additional cost to the client.
Congratulations go to the entire Freyssinet team at R159, and in particular to Contracts Manager Jon Williams, Quantity Surveyor David McDonald and and Site Managers Charlotte Clifton and Charlie Shields.
Freyssinet is an acknowledged leader in specialized civil engineering and introduced post tensioned slabs to the UK in the early 1980s. External post tensioning is appropriate when dealing with bridge decks in particular, as the R159 Rayhall Viaduct required.
