The award-wining highway maintenance contractor Multevo is the latest in a long line of companies to join Safer Highways as members.

For over a decade, Multevo has worked with local authorities and tier one contractors, to achieve shared operational outcomes and social value.

Using the versatile Multihog product range the company delivers a highways maintenance contracting service, leading on best-practice principles, and including road planing, permanent pothole and patching repairs, road markings and civils works to help the network to become safer whilst improving its condition.

Multevo have shown their dedication to health, safety, and best practise through the development of their own App used by all operatives out on the field to record quality of works. The App also provides a transparent audit trail of compliance checks as well as health and safety related processes such as near misses, non-conformances and accident reporting.

The Multihog has now helped over a third of all UK local authorities save money whilst maximising service delivery by selecting one versatile machine to tackle several different highway maintenance operations. The machine’s planer attachment is renowned to productively plane asphalt, cement and other hard surfaces consistently with precision. This is because the Multihog method for road repairs maximises productivity, efficiency and safety to reduce costs whilst improving permanent repair outputs.

Multevo own the world’s largest hire fleet of Multihogs since launching the product in the UK in 2010, which also makes them the most experienced operator anywhere in the world. Multevo is Constructionline Gold and National Highways Sector Scheme accredited and already play an active role as members of the Road Surface Treatment Association and Local Council Roads Innovation Group (LCRIG).

Being in the unique position of being a distributor and contractor-safety in all aspects is essential for us. Since we established a service delivery model our mantra has been to be an exemplar in the industry leading on best practice. As an SME that now employs close to 100 highways operatives on the network each day this is one of many initiatives we want to be a part of to protect our highways heroes well-being.”

Multevo recently supported a paid intern from the Get Set Programme, which is aimed at supporting disadvantaged young people find employment opportunities.
