Highways England includes Infra JV in £195m archaeology framework

Infra JV, a Joint venture of Network Archaeology Ltd and Rubicon Heritage Services Ltd, is delighted to announce that we will be working with Highways England to deliver its new £195m Archaeology Framework on major road projects across England. The four-year framework offers Infra JV the opportunity to work closely with the government-owned company in protecting and enhancing the environment, including England’s unique cultural heritage and buried archaeology.

We are currently delivering advanced archaeological works ahead of HS2 and Southend Airport Business Park. The JV combines the extensive experience of Rubicon Heritage Services Ltd and Network Archaeology Ltd with over 10,000 km of major linear infrastructure delivered over 25 years.
