Emergency call outs for our team in the North as they clear thirteen trees fallen due to heavy snow fall

Published on 17 Mar 2023

The callouts started coming around 3.30am, the snow was falling heavily, and trees had fallen onto the roads.

A plan was made by our Contract Manager in the North of England, Scott Chipchase. He mobilised his team, and they were all in the yard by 6am, ready for a day of emergency tree clearance.

Despite March technically being classed as the start of Spring, it's not entirely unusual for snow to show up. And last week, show up, it did. So many roads were shut and covered in snow.

Scott and his team had to head out with the snow ploughs to get them access to the areas they needed. Our team cleared a total of 13 trees over the day. Twelve on the A612 and a large one on the M1 which required an emergency lane closure.

Great job done by all involved 🙌🏼💚

“Chevron Green Consultancy, as part of our strategic supply chain have been working on landscape assessments within our survey programme of the soft estate. These surveys ascertain requirements for specific habitat management, resulting in a valuable data source which will inform effective future resource allocation and asset management. Our innovation in commissioning the surveys and the very high-quality data provided from CGC has been recognised nationally by National Highways as the standard required across all areas and is now the benchmark set for other areas to achieve.”

“Chevron Traffic Management has recently had the pleasure of working alongside Chevron Green Services on the Southwest M&R cyclic maintenance grass cutting works. The benefits this has given us has made a big impact on being able to maximise outputs whilst also collaborating with other works across the network. Having all this in-house has streamlined our processes and allowed us to build even stronger relationships throughout the Group businesses and with our client Ringway. It has been great working with Chevron Green Services, and we look forward to working alongside them for the rest of these works and future works to come.”

JayJay Whitehead, Interim Area Operations Manager, Chevron Traffic Management

“From the offset Chevron Green Services were very professional. At the very first meeting Chevron Green Services reinforced Kier Highways strict stakeholder management policy and offered up assurances to a worried landowner. These assurances were upheld tenfold as the project met its conclusion. National Highways and Kier Highways were very happy with the stakeholder management as well as the quality of the works and agreed that they are happy to continue to work with Chevron Green Services in the future.”

Michael Smith, Project Manager Area 4 Schemes Dept, Kier Highways

“Chevron Green Services were very helpful throughout the scheme. The team undertook the works safely and used appropriate technology (such as robocutters) to eliminate risks where possible. The team were knowledgeable and even managed to easily accommodate vast changes to the scope of works when this was required.”
