The Project

M1 Junction 19 Improvement Scheme

With almost 150,000 vehicles passing through the M1 Junction 19 section of the motorway daily, the junction encountered a number of problems.  In particular, high levels of congestion, long delays and a many accidents.

As a result the £191 million scheme was then developed to reduce these problems.

The Challenge

The M1 Junction 19 project was one of the largest endeavours undertaken by Arbus since its founding. As a result, we saw this as an opportunity to purchases and utilise some of the most modern technologies within the fencing industry.

One of our flagship machines was our Orteco Rig’s. In this situation, these high-tech tools mean we can install large quantities of posts safely and efficiently in incredibly short periods of time.


The Solution

Arbus have been involved in this project right from the tendering stage. In this case we've been responsible for the supply and installation of the safety barrier and parapet systems on the junction.

In addition we installed the general fencing, environmental noise barrier and other civil works.


The Result

In conclusion, the M1 Junction 19 Improvement Scheme was classed as a major project by the government.  Working day and night to get each section finished to schedule was key to winning the works.

We worked across the country day or night and as a result, we have been able to meet the tight deadlines with ease.
