They also provided 229 apprenticeship weeks to young people in the area.<\/p>\n<p>The project was procured through the SCAPE Construction programme, which allowed the National Highway depots to be completed in under a year.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan Sindall prioritised safety, modernity, and sustainability, with features like air source heat pumps, PV panels, and energy-efficient LED lighting to reduce their carbon footprint. They also recycled aggregate from the original building&#8217;s demolition at Bescot instead of sending it to landfills. Excess materials and offcuts were donated to Walsall College.<\/p>\n<h3>Using MMC on the National Highway depots<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/morgan-sindall-delivers-improvement-to-southlands-hospital\/132922\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Morgan Sindall<\/a> also embraced MMC by partnering with Eurodome to construct the salt barn at Strensham, using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/mmc-news\/fast-track-approach-addressing-unsafe-school-buildings\/133158\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">offsite modular technology<\/a>. The lightweight modular structure allowed the developers to reduce materials and lower transport emissions, resulting in significant carbon savings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe work we do at National Highways &#8211; operating, maintaining, and improving our roads &#8211; is carried out at our depots, control rooms and outstations, not in city centre offices. So, it\u2019s paramount that we give people working in those buildings a great place to work,\u201d said National Highways chief executive, Nick Harris.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese new depots, which are making the best use of modern techniques and technology to support our staff and the environment, are bringing together people who used to work in different places so they can work as one team,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project is a fantastic example of creating operational efficiency and improving the working environment for National Highways\u2019 staff while maximising the green credentials of a building,\u201d commented Mark Robinson, SCAPE Group chief executive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough careful re-use of materials on-site and community engagement activities, Morgan Sindall has created a truly sustainable legacy that will be felt far beyond the bricks and mortar of the new depot,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Morgan Sindall has installed new depots that will bring together National Highways staff, traffic officers, contractors, and key partners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[172731],"tags":[685,639,806],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-133306","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-projects","7":"tag-morgan-sindall","8":"tag-procurement","9":"tag-road-improvements"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Morgan Sindall delivers \u00a320.7m National Highways depot project<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Morgan Sindall&#039;s \u00a320.7m project unites National Highways personnel and partners, adding modern offices and improving depots\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/projects\/morgan-sindall-delivers-20-7m-national-highways-depot-project\/133306\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Morgan Sindall delivers \u00a320.7m National Highways depot project\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Morgan Sindall has installed new depots that will bring together National Highways staff, traffic officers, contractors, and key partners.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/projects\/morgan-sindall-delivers-20-7m-national-highways-depot-project\/133306\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
