Improving safety and efficiency in challenging construction environments
The challenge
It’s common knowledge that construction is by far the most dangerous sector to work in, accounting for a shocking number of deaths. And every year, a significant share of these fatalities are caused by vehicles.
Meanwhile, everyone is all too familiar with the disruption and general frustration that construction sites can cause drivers using adjacent public highways, severely threatening the ambitious user experience targets of local authorities and National Highways.
Contractors must bear both issues in mind when drawing up plans for new projects, keeping the safety of their team – as well as that of motorists – front-of-mind, along with the need to ensure that on- and off-site traffic flows smoothly.
Sustainability is also a factor, with construction firms and their customers all striving to minimise their carbon footprints.
The solution
SRL has an impressive track record in construction. It works in partnership with all the big players as well as smaller companies, to deliver innovative integrated, solar-powered, portable and temporary intelligent transport system (ITS) hire solutions to help them to achieve their safety, efficiency and sustainability targets, whatever their project size and scope.
Our patented, award-winning Haul Route PLUS mobile crossing system combines RiseMaster HE work-zone safety barriers, variable message signs (VMS), ANPR and CCTV along with traffic signals to help guard against dangerous incursions. Signals feature adaptive detection technology to allow slow-moving plant to safely enter/exit the area.
VMS can be used both off-site and on, preparing road users for delays and alerting site traffic to speed restrictions and other safety issues. Traffic and pedestrian signals along with remotely operated stop-go signs help to keep traffic flowing smoothly around and within the work-zone.
Our range includes compact models designed to meet the particular needs – and space restrictions – of work-zones as well as larger units for highways use.
Meanwhile, our CCTV cameras allow you to keep an eye your site, helping you to protect your assets and your team.
All kit is created with resilience in mind, incorporating robust design features and guaranteeing reliable performance whatever the weather and however rugged and remote the location.
Whatever your needs, SRL will work in efficient partnership with you as you plan your contract, designing and delivering the ideal bespoke solution.
