MukAway–MV Kelly partnership: material reuse and procurement notes for engineers

30 Second Briefing
Digital material management platform MukAway has signed a nationwide partnership with major groundworks contractor MV Kelly, which operates across hundreds of live residential sites, to expand its UK network for reusable construction materials. The deal increases the platform’s density of active users and real-time transactions between contractors, housebuilders, civil engineers, recycle yards and wash plants, improving options for on-site reuse and off-site redistribution of aggregates and spoil. MukAway will shortly add a “merchant facility” so MV Kelly and others can source primary and recycled aggregates and manage hazardous, non-reusable materials within the same procurement platform.
Technical Brief
- Daily “real transactions on real sites” indicate the platform already supports live logistics rather than pilot-scale trials.
- MV Kelly expects to “embed and onboard across our sites”, implying standardised digital material workflows in site start-up processes.
Our Take
MukAway’s earlier onboarding of HBC Construction (formerly Henry Boot) shows it is gaining traction with tier-one UK contractors, so adding MV Kelly further entrenches the platform in the national civils and housing earthworks supply chain.
With aggregates as a keyword across our infrastructure coverage, most UK pieces touch on haulage cost and landfill constraints, suggesting digital spoil-matching platforms like MukAway are likely to influence how contractors price bulk earthworks and manage material risk on tenders.
Because both HBC Construction and MV Kelly are active on large multi-plot housing and road schemes in the UK, their use of MukAway’s spoil-management tools could start to standardise data on cut-and-fill balances, giving clients more leverage to demand demonstrable sustainability gains on aggregates movements.
