🏗️ Work Experience!

Recently, we welcomed Lewys Bevan, a second-year Construction and the Built Environment student from Coleg y Cymoedd, for a four-day work experience placement across Walters. 😊 👏

Throughout the week, Lewys had the opportunity to visit our Hirwaun and Avonmouth offices, alongside several of our live projects, including Bathurst Bridge, New Cut, Bro Tathan and the A417 Missing Link. These visits provided valuable insight into the variety of roles, skills and opportunities available within the construction industry. 👍

The placement also gave Lewys the chance to speak with our teams, learn about different career pathways and gain practical industry knowledge to help inform his next steps. 😊

Reflecting on his experience, Lewys shared:

"The experience has helped me develop my knowledge and understanding, and has given me a better idea of what I would like to pursue in the future."

A big thank you to everyone who took the time to welcome Lewys, share their knowledge and make his experience so worthwhile! We wish Lewys every success in the future! 👷👏

🚧 Site Visit at the A417 Missing Link

Recently, our team working on the National Highways A417 Missing Link project welcomed a group of students from Gloucestershire College for an educational site visit. 👷

The students, who have recently started their T Level course in Construction and the Built Environment, were given their first opportunity to experience a live construction site and gain valuable insight into the industry. 🎓

During the visit, our team provided an overview of Walters' earthworks contract as part of the wider National Highways and Kier Group PLC project, explaining how activities are planned and delivered, the variety of roles involved and the importance of teamwork in achieving project goals. 🚜

The students also heard from team members who began their careers through apprenticeship and graduate pathways, highlighting the different opportunities available to those looking to enter the construction industry. They were then able to view ongoing works from the visitor platform and ask questions about the project and potential career routes. 💬

A big thank you to Rob, Mark, Harvey, John, Shupal and Rhian for taking the time to share their knowledge and experiences with the students. 🌟

It was great to welcome the next generation of construction professionals to site and help inspire their future careers in the industry! 👏

👷 Project Update - Penarth Escarpment 👷

Work is progressing well on our Penarth Escarpment Project for Vale Of Glamorgan Council, where we are delivering a long-term stabilisation solution following a series of landslides. Since commencing in February 2026, the team has been working to strengthen and protect the escarpment, ensuring its long-term stability and resilience. 🚧

Located within the operational Penarth Marina car park and boatyard, the works are being delivered in three phases to maintain access to parts of both facilities throughout construction. ⛵

The project began with vegetation clearance, undertaken by Bespoke Rope Access using specialist abseiling techniques and supervised by Ecovigour to ensure environmental requirements were met. Following clearance, detailed inspections identified geological features requiring further assessment, alongside material from previous landslides that needed removing before stabilisation works could begin. 🌱

The project has now progressed into the specialist geotechnical stabilisation phase, with Spencer Quantum Ltd installing an active soil-nailing and steel-netting system. This includes a diamond-pattern arrangement of grouted soil nails and rock bolts designed to reinforce and stabilise the slope.

Once complete, erosion control matting will be installed to reduce surface erosion and encourage vegetation growth, followed by a high-tensile mesh system supplied by Geobrugg. Together, these measures will provide long-term stability while allowing the escarpment to blend naturally into its surroundings.

We are delivering the scheme as both Principal Contractor and Principal Designer, working alongside Tony Gee and Partners as Lead Designer and Mott MacDonald as the Overseeing Organisations Geotechnical Advisor (OOGA). 🤝

With completion targeted for Q2 2027, a fantastic effort from everyone involved as we continue to make significant progress on this challenging and highly specialist geotechnical project! 👏

A huge congratulations to our Quantity Surveyor, Gruff Roberts, who recently completed Ironman Wales in Tenby - taking on the incredible challenge in just under 16 hours! 👏🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Gruff joined Walters through the apprenticeship pathway, graduating three years ago, and has since worked across both our Wales and South West regions. Over the last few years, he’s spent plenty of time in Pembrokeshire working on our Haverfordwest Footbridge and Castle Wayfinding projects.

Clearly, he enjoyed Pembrokeshire so much that he decided to head back for one more challenge... Only this time, it involved a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and a full marathon! 💪

An incredible achievement, congratulations Gruff! 👏

👷‍♂️Summer Work Experience at Walters👷‍♀️

Over the summer, we welcomed a range of young people across our projects and offices, giving them the opportunity to experience life in the construction and civil engineering industry first-hand. 👷‍♀️🏗️

From Penarth Escarpment, Bro Tathan and A417 Missing Link to Bristol HAMAC, HS2 and our Avonmouth office, our work experience and summer placements provided an insight into a wide range of roles, projects and career pathways. 🚧📍

Across the placements, students had the opportunity to:
✔️ Shadow engineers, quantity surveyors, planners and site teams
✔️ Get hands-on with surveying equipment, GPS, Total Stations and Cat & Genny
✔️ Understand drawings, designs, setting out, underground services and site processes
✔️ Visit different projects and meet the people delivering them
✔️ Explore university, degree apprenticeship and career opportunities within the industry

For some, the experience has helped confirm their future career plans. Lily, who spent a week at Bro Tathan, told us the placement had made her want to go into engineering 100%, while others are now considering degree apprenticeships or heading to university with a much clearer understanding of what a career in civil engineering could look like. 🎓🔧

We were also delighted to welcome Pallav and Jacob for summer placements, alongside university students Joe and Ethan, giving them the opportunity to build practical experience alongside their studies. 👷‍♂️📚

A huge thank you to Rhian Lawton, our Social Value Manager, and everyone across our sites, offices and project teams who gave their time, knowledge and support to make these experiences valuable. 👏

As Rhian said: “Work experience is such a valuable experience for young people to develop skills and gain information and advice about career opportunities and pathways in earthworks and civil engineering.”

Investing in the next generation is an important part of building the future of Walters and our industry. 🤝🏗️

Bathurst Bridge Reopens Following Major Restoration 👷

We’re proud to share that Bathurst Swing Bridge reopened to traffic on 28th August, marking the successful completion of a major restoration project delivered for Bristol City Council. Bathurst is particularly significant as it is the first project we commenced for BCC on the new HAMAC (Highways Asset Management And Civils) Framework. Its successful reopening marks an important milestone for the people of Bristol, Bristol City Council and Walters, as we continue to grow our presence and reputation in the south-west region. 🌉👏

The bridge closed to the public in spring 2025 to allow us to undertake extensive refurbishment works including structural steel repairs, repainting and resurfacing. As is often the case with refurbishment projects of this nature, we encountered some challenges along the way! Once the existing steelwork was exposed, its condition proved to be far worse than originally anticipated, resulting in significant additional works being required. Our team did a great job of managing the change and keeping the project on track toward the opening deadline. The bridge was successfully reopened on time, restoring this important city asset and reinstating a key route for local residents, businesses, pedestrians and cyclists. 🔧👷‍♂️🚧

Congratulations to everyone involved in delivering this fantastic project! 🎉🙌
