Chevron introduce a new innovative Radar 'Banksman' System

Published on 11 Sep 2017

Leading the way as successful trials result in all new Chevron TM installation vehicles being fitted with the revolutionary device.

At the cutting edge of vehicle safety, “Banksman” Radar is an intelligent, fully programmable radar based reversing safety system. After successful trials, Chevron Traffic Management plan to have all new TM installation vehicles fitted with the device in addition to the existing CCTV systems.

In certain situations, it is not possible to reverse a vehicle with the assistance of a second person (e.g. the removal of the coning for a 4km lane closure), and when this occurs, an innovative system can be used.

The “Banksman” Radar is mounted to the rear of the vehicle, and its sensors can detect any object or person within 20 metres of the reversing vehicle. This therefore gives the driver sufficient time to take appropriate preventative action, should the system be activated.

Equally important, it also gives an audible warning to operatives working on the bed of the vehicle (as well as others who may be in the vicinity), thereby significantly reducing risk.

Thank you for your help. The works to the bridge were completed and great teamwork from both crews. I had a good view from the bridge and was very impressed by their work. Always said it....TM is an art form!

Please accept our thanks your team’s efforts on this project. Chevron have been brilliant, nothing has been too much to ask of you and we have delivered to programme despite the complexities of working at these junctions. Look forward to working with you in the future, I think it’s forged a good relationship between us.

Marlow Carnival 2017

Can I please express my thanks on behalf of everyone at Kier for the exceptional aptitude and attitude shown by one of your site teams who were engaged in a recent local community project. As with any town centre closure there were some ‘challenges’ thrown at the crew but their attitude and commitment to the safety of the children, parents and support groups was second to none. It’s lovely to be able to write this reference to your colleagues, please pass on my most sincere thanks.

Another great success for Area 3. To turn this around in such a short space of time due to the nature of the repair and the location is a credit to you and your teams. Well done!

A404 Resurfacing

Could I say a big thank you to yourselves and to all your crews which were on site at the A404 Resurfacing scheme last night. I have spoken to the Tarmac site supervisor from the Chieveley depot this morning who was very appreciative of how helpful and how good it was to work with the crew that was on site.
