At Rubicon Archaeology, collaboration, professionalism, and social value are central to how we work on major infrastructure projects. We’re proud to share that our work on the M3 Junction 9 improvement project has been independently recognised by the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS), achieving an excellent score of 45/45 in a recent Monitor’s Report.

Delivered in close collaboration with Balfour Beatty plc, alongside VolkerFitzpatrick Ltd and National Highways, the project demonstrates what can be achieved through strong partnerships and shared values on site.

The CCS report highlighted Rubicon’s proactive approach to community engagement, effective communication with stakeholders and the principal contractor, and a strong commitment to education and social value. This included supporting local schools, working with Winchester University to host student placements, and volunteering at Jane Austen’s House to support the local community.

This recognition reflects the positive, collaborative culture fostered across the project and Rubicon’s commitment to maintaining high standards in health, safety, environmental management, and community consideration.

We’re delighted to be working with Balfour Beatty, VolkerFitzpatrick, and National Highways, and would like to thank our project partners and site team for their continued professionalism and dedication.
