EXPERIENCE
MOLA has worked on some of the most significant large infrastructure projects in Southern England including HS1, Crossrail and the 2012 Olympic Park, as well as local railway lines such as the construction of the East London Line and Jubilee Line in London. MOLA has particular expertise in urban archaeology, dealing with large burial sites and built heritage. MOLA also have experience of working with the road construction industry, deriving from a significant number of large and complex projects related to improvements to the A45 and A605 and more recently the A5/M1 Link Road and the A45 Northampton to Daventry link.
Headland has established a leading reputation for successfully delivering archaeological services on large, fast-track infrastructure projects; examples include the 58km Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR), Forth Replacement Crossing, M74 Completion Project, Edinburgh Trams Project, A1, A2 and A4/A5 Road Improvement Schemes (Northern Ireland), Clyde Wind Farm (Europe’s largest consented wind farm), Staffordshire Rail Alliance and Blackburn Link Road. For all of the many road schemes, Headland was the Principal Contractor. For AWPR, Clyde and Staffordshire, Headland was retained as Archaeological Clerk of Works during the Construction Phase.
Our experience in so many infrastructure projects gives us the confidence not only to deliver but to always meet or exceed all expectations. And it goes without saying that we also have an excellent safety record, supported by qualified Safety, Health, Environment and Quality (SHEQ) personnel.
In recognition of our role at the forefront of infrastructure projects we are pleased to announce that we have already been appointed to the A14 Cambridge to Huntington improvement scheme and the Tideway Tunnel in London; two of the larger Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects currently underway in the UK.

RESOURCES
One of the strengths of our consortium is the ability to resource multiple large-scale projects at any one time. In response to the varying demands of complex construction projects we have increased our workforce with a direct benefit to large infrastructure projects such as HS2. We currently employ 500 staff of all grades and specialisms including the largest field team in the UK, as well as specialist experts of international standing. These include osteoarchaeologists, environmental archaeologists, finds and conservation specialists, community archaeologists etc.
