A1 Scotswood - North Brunton Improvement Scheme

The A1 Scotswood - North Brunton Scheme was a £110m National Highways project, delivered under the ‘Regional Delivery Partnership Framework’.
Work involved widening over 8km of existing carriageway, delivering significant safety, journey reliability and environmental improvements, whilst helping to unlock meaningful wider economic growth in the area.

Exceptional Performance

Throughout the project MSF were highly commended for their performance, winning four separate ‘Defining Blue’ awards from Costain, covering eight quarters. This outstanding achievement represents 24 of the 33 months we were on site.

Social Value

Local Employment

The project generated many meaningful social value benefits to the wider North East community, and MSF were proud to support these initiatives by creating over seven new site positions and two apprenticeships within the business, all of which were recruited from within the North East:
  • 1 new electrical apprenticeship
  • 1 new contracts-co-ordinator
  • 4 new operatives
  • 1 new electrician
At the peak of our construction activities, we had a site team of 17 operatives on the project and 87% of our staff that were involved in the project were from the region.

Local Procurement

Local procurement was a large part of our commitment to the project and 95% of materials and aggregates that we used on the scheme were sourced from local suppliers.
