Our civil engineering delivery team are experienced in the delivery of flood prevention and alleviation schemes. These works, delivered for our local authority clients are assigned to a lead project managers to deliver individual schemes and sub-programmes. These project leads have the capability as required to support the project through the whole lifecycle, from optioneering through to scheme completion.
Through the combined resource of the Projects, Highway Maintenance and Supply Chain teams, we are able to respond quickly to changing client priorities and requirements particularly following major flooding events. This process often involves the coordination and collaboration with multiple parties to ensure that common goals and appropriate solutions are delivered.
To drive the best outcomes possible, Milestone Infrastructure directly employs a team of experienced and knowledgeable project managers supported by experienced engineering professionals.
