ASEA Ecology Mitigation and Flood Defence Project

Our contractors BAM Nuttall Mott MacDonald JV (BMMJV) have received the maximum marks possible against the listed criteria from the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) after the scheme’s independent monitors assessed the site and team.  

The aim of the scheme is to raise standards and build public trust in the construction industry. The scheme employs independent monitors across the UK, drawn from senior levels of the various disciplines within the industry. These monitors are trained in monitoring sites against the Scheme’s Site Code of Considerate Practice, to highlight areas where improvements are considered necessary and to encourage best practice beyond standard industry requirements.  

The Considerate Constructors Scheme report examined the activities of the ASEA project team and the main compound site in Avonmouth against its checklist. It found that BMMJV presented a highly professional appearance to the surrounding neighbours and general public, with consistent site processes.  

The CCS report particularly singled out for praise the team’s positive engagement with the local community and our strong relationships alongside active interaction with many groups contained within the area.  

The CCS commended the whole ASEA team for developing clear and concise environmental and sustainability procedures and processes. It noted that a number of natural environment and ecological enhancements will be in place upon completion of the project. You can read more about these here.  

The CCS monitors found well considered H&S procedures and auditing, training programmes and occupational health support were all in place.  

Tony Bajjada, ASEA Public Liaison Officer & Stakeholder Manager from BMMJV, said: “It is always good to receive positive feedback and this high score is a recognition of the attitude within the whole BMMJV workforce, who have a commitment to meet the very highest levels of industry best practice and the aims of the scheme through personal and corporate culture.”

The report said: “It is clear that the whole BMMJV project team are highly committed to the CCS Code of Conduct and this exemplified by the consistent high scoring against the scheme’s scoring criteria that the project has achieved during this site visit.” 

Colin Taylor, Senior Flood & Coastal Risk Management Advisor at one of the project partners; Environment Agency, said: “This is a great achievement by BMMJV. It’s really unusual for a contractor to get full marks and this independent review of how our contractors interact with the community shows they are doing very well.”
