Equitix Highways

Currently, the portfolio consists of the following:

Equitix Highways (Birmingham)

This project was acquired in December 2010 and is currently in its initial five year core investment period which will see nearly £300 million of capital improvement activity being delivered across the City’s Highway network, including: the improving of the structural and surface condition of around 45% of the 2,500km of carriageways; upgrading around 15% of the 4,200km footway and cycleway network across the city; replacing approximately 41,500 street light columns with state of the art LED technology; refurbishing 3 strategically important tunnels; strengthening 29 sub-standard bridges to bring them up to 40 tonne load capacity; and, replacing around 600 traffic controller signals and replacing traffic signal heads with LED lamps.

Following this initial activity, the contract ensures the infrastructure will be maintained at these improved standards for a further 20 years and routine and cyclical highways maintenance for the full 25 year period is also included in the scope of the project. All works and services under the Contract, including the Core Investment Period works are being undertaken by Amey.
