Our markets Highways, Infrastructure and RailExciting new major road building and improvement projects are taking place or being planned for the future throughout the UK, linking up our regions and supporting economic growth. 
OUTSTANDING SERVICE AND PRODUCTSAs new developments continue to gather momentum across the UK, contractors are looking for ways to recoup time and money. We can assist in these developments by using our skills in improving site efficiencies. Our mission is to take industry and client issues and tackle them, producing products that solve problems, improve standards and lead the industry in product life. As an example, we’re incredibly proud of our Unite range of manhole covers and gully grates, and of its pioneering design, which has 350,000 installations with 0 reported failures. Combined with a range of compliant products and systems, partnering with the Wrekin contract division saves time and money while enhancing health and safety.

Success storiesJunction 9 improvements for the M27Following a consultation process, we secured the opportunity to supply Unite manhole covers and ironwork installation systems for a major infrastructure project within the county. Highways England has committed to funding a £23m infrastructure project, which will improve the M27 and benefit motorists for years to come. It is no secret that peak-time traffic on the M27 – a critical strategic corridor in south Hampshire – creates queues and congestion at Junction 9, which often extends to the motorway. However, the plan includes widening the carriageway to improve traffic flow and reduce journey times in the area, with work due to complete in summer 2022. 
Building sustainability into everything we doThere has never been a more critical time to consider the impact of infrastructure on the environment. Wrekin, along with the wider civil engineering industry, takes this responsibility extremely seriously. We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint through innovation, quality design and responsible manufacturing. From developing products that increase whole-life performance to recycling materials and reducing waste, every improvement helps us move towards a more sustainable future. As the effects of climate change become more apparent, the UK is facing increased rainfall intensity and more frequent flash flooding. These conditions put additional strain on underground networks and road infrastructure. Wrekin’s Unite range has been developed to address these challenges. Our retrofittable seal plates provide an added layer of protection where and when it's needed, preventing water ingress and odour escape while maintaining the performance and integrity of chambers during extreme weather events. Our sustainability focus extends beyond product performance to the entire lifecycle. As highlighted in our pothole whitepaper, correctly specified and installed ironwork dramatically reduces the likelihood of early-life failure and reinstatement defects. This “right first time” approach helps lower long-term maintenance costs while driving down whole-life carbon emissions, a benefit independently verified through our BRE-verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). Data collection to analyse performance is critical to overcoming some of the challenges faced. Our ID bolt location has been made to accommodate antennae and data-capturing equipment for monitoring, chamber logging and network management. This feature supports the integration of smart technologies, enabling operators to gather real-time performance data and respond proactively to environmental events. By combining intelligent engineering with practical innovation, we are helping the industry prepare for a changing climate, delivering solutions that protect infrastructure, extend service life and contribute to a more resilient, low-carbon future.
