SRL Products for the construction sector

Improving safety and efficiency in challenging construction environments

Construction site cross road

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.

Testimonials

"The equipment we hire is always well maintained and the partnership we have is vital to the success of our contracts. We look forward to working with you for the long term… We are able to count on you at every step to go the extra mile to help us achieve for our clients."

Jim Bailey
Hatton TM

"I'd just like to say how impressed we are with the [Multiphase] ADS. Both 3-ways we installed were on major trunk roads in Bristol. Our customers (Bristol City Council and Vistry) have both  commented on how well the systems worked, keeping the traffic flowing. Thanks again for the great service you provide ETM"

Andy Macey
Assistant Manager
ETM

"This high-profile project has been challenging, and it was essential for us to improve the capacity of the busy city centre junction and improve journey times for motorists. I’ve worked with SRL for 12 years now and they have always been very responsive to our needs, so we had no hesitation in using them on this project. SRL’s UTMC system was ideal for this scheme and it has synchronised perfectly with the council’s permanent UTMC to significantly minimise the impact of roadworks during a lengthy project.”

Simon Phillips
Contracts Manager
Class One Traffic Management

"The ability to combine the flexibility of using temporary signals whilst also being able to control and co-ordinate timings with the Council’s existing permanent traffic signals, has been invaluable during construction works on the Trams to Newhaven project. Having now experienced the advantages of using SRL's UTMC temporary signals, we will be looking to specify their use in future projects to help keep everyone moving around Edinburgh."

Robert Mansell
Senior Engineer
City of Edinburgh Council

"The SRL UTMC System was a fantastic solution whilst we refurbished a set of permanent signals during the christmas period on an arterial route into the city. The product allowed us to maintain control of the tempoary signals and coordinate their operation with the surrounding permanent signals, notably reducing the impact of the road works for all road users."

Iain Moffat
Aberdeen City Council

“Given the high number of traffic lights we use, it’s quite common for the batteries to run low in half a dozen of them at around the same time. Unlike other products, if we only need to replace the battery, one van can get round all those units in a fraction of the time, money and resource it would take to replace the units in their entirety.”

David Moist
Premier Traffic Management

"SRL’s Multiphase ADS system was a huge advantage for us during the tender stage. Fully portable and flexible for our needs, the reactive, intelligent traffic light technology is 50% more efficient than standard signals. All 70 of SRL’s traffic signals for the Scottish Water contract are Multiphase ADS enabled."

Bryan Hosier
Head of Operations
HBS

"Introducing SRL Telematics has been a huge advantage for us. We now have live data on the status of all our signals and we can even see if they have been tampered with or moved - all without having to visit site. The time and cost savings on call-outs is significant, not to mention the reduction in our environmental impact.”

Dave Oswald
Managing Director
CTM

There’s nothing like Urban64® out there on the market. It is the only temporary system that has intelligent technology to allow for efficient phasing of traffic and pedestrian systems. This makes junctions flow better, eases road user frustration and reduces complaints. Like every product in SRL’s extensive range, Urban64® is robust and user-friendly and is backed by high levels of customer and technical support.
