On this project, they have implemented a significant initiative by installing two cruciform cranes within just two days. These cranes are designed to sit on engineered concrete bases, meaning no piling works are required. This approach eliminates the need for piling, significantly reducing noise, vibration, and disruption to the surrounding community. The cranes can be installed in a far quicker…
Streetwise’s video-based traffic survey technology is revolutionising traffic management on this project, by replacing manual counts with camera-based junction and link monitoring, that deliver precise, verifiable data that drives smarter decisions. Dynamic diagrams and visual outputs make complex traffic patterns instantly clear, while quality controlled footage ensures transparency and compliance. On this project they have clocked 1 million cyclists in…
This contractor has used the latest incursion technology, the Intellicone, to ensure workforce safety, while ensuring minimal disruption to a local ambulance station. The Ambulance service were appreciative of this initiative and commented: “Overnight access went smoothly yet again and appreciated the swift removal of the traffic management ahead of advertised time. Very minimal delay to the Ambulance Service.” The…
The team have devised an automated safety initiative whereby pedestrians are safeguarded from oncoming vehicles using the sites one-way system. Upon entering the one-way system, a motion detection device identifies a vehicle and automatically locks the pedestrian access/egress gates. Upon doing so, the vehicle barrier is lifted and the system uses a secondary device to record that the vehicle has…
A Delivery Management System (DMS) plans, manages, and monitors vehicle movements to and from site, ensuring materials, equipment and resources arrive safely and efficiently. By controlling resource flow into site, a DMS optimises the safety of both the site workforce and vulnerable road users around the site. An effective DMS can help businesses improve the efficiency and outcomes of their…
CLOCS has developed a toolkit of materials and guides to help members educate children about the risks associated with Heavy Goods Vehicles and how to stay safe around them. These materials have been developed for a school or youth group visit with a HGV hands-on ‘show and tell’ experience. Alternatively, the sessions can be delivered without a vehicle, and this…
This contractor used ‘Digital Diversion’ to track the time in seconds it took a vehicle to take the approved diversion during a full closure of the M42, and have used the data in evidence to secure further closures. Tracking vehicle diversion times in seconds during a full M42 closure provided precise, realtime data on traffic flow efficiency and diversion effectiveness….
Most of the public footpaths across this project had to be closed to facilitate the works. The most popular route across the scheme is a footpath frequently used by dog walkers and ramblers. The contractor discussed how they could possibly maintain access on this route safely with the local ramblers association, the safety team and traffic management contractor with the…
On the motorway emergency areas they have introduced RapidGrip, a highly skid-resistant, and colour-stable surfacing material developed by the Smart Motorway Partnership (SMP) Alliance. Replacing the traditional two-coat system, RapidGrip achieves bright orange visibility in a single application, reducing construction time, safety risks, and public disruption. This lean solution enhances efficiency by minimising nightshifts and traffic management, while ensuring consistent…
As part of the Masternaut fleet management system, this contractor has recently implemented light bars to their commercial vehicles which measures driver behaviour against: Smoother (harsh acceleration/braking), Safer (within speed limit) and Cleaner (engine off when not moving). This calculates scoring and focuses training. By separating scores into three distinct categories, they are able to provide an accurate, actionable reflection…
To avoid a large crane lift which would have meant road closures and disruption to the local area, this contractor developed a method for lifting 2 2.8t chiller units on the court roof. There is no device or design the contractor could find which was suitable for this. The original intent was for a crane lift which would have cause…
Samsara is an artificial intelligence driven transport management initiative. This optimises field services with real-time vehicle locations, prevent breakdowns by monitoring engine diagnostics and fault codes, and cut costs by reducing idle time. This initiative also allows users to plan and analyse routes and stops and evaluate data on their performance to identify deviations and pinpoint trends to remedy with…
As a CLOCS Champion and provider of construction logistics, this contractor is committed to their role in promoting the safest construction vehicle journeys. One of the key roles of the Site Access Traffic Marshal (SATM) is to conduct construction vehicle safety checks for vehicles coming to site. The contractor, working in collaboration with CLOCS, have created a short video that…
The first directory of construction consolidation centres in the London area has been published by Transport for London (TfL) on Friday 18 March. The directory provides essential information – including locations and operating hours – of the Capital’s construction consolidation centres. Construction consolidation centres allow more efficient deliveries by organising materials and directing fewer vehicles to specific construction sites, helping…
After using deliveries as needed from suppliers, it was noticed by the contractor that often a large flatbed truck would come with just one small item for the site or minimal other supplies, it was clear something better could be arranged. A smaller timber and builders merchant were due to deliver and were asked as to when they are coming…
