Chevron joined Balfour Beatty this week for their ‘Boots on the Ground’ event

Published on 25 Jan 2020

THE EVENT TOOK PLACE IN WOKINGHAM, WHERE CHEVRON PROVIDE DIGITAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS AS PART OF THE MAJOR HIGHWAYS CONTRACT.

Chevron demonstrated how the use of technology enabled traffic management solutions can protect workers and the travelling public during the maintenance, repair and renewals of our roads.

INCURSION PREVENTION AND MITIGATION

The Incursion, Prevention and Mitigation (IPM) system significantly increases levels of safety for the workforce by detecting and alerting them to a breach in the work-zone. Motion sensitive Intellicone traffic cone lamps detect unauthorised movement and activate an audible alarm to deter the intruder from entering the work site.

Wireless monitoring of each work-zone enables all work sites to be viewed on a live operations map through our portal. The platform enables live and historic views across all locations. All incursion data is subsequently available and may be used to generate historical incursion maps and site-specific safety information prior to works taking place. These systems have been shown to reduce site incursions by members of the public by 50% whilst also increasing the working window.

MOBILE CUSTOMER SUPPORT TERMINAL

Also being showcased at the event was our Mobile Customer Support (MCS) Terminal. This digitally enabled interactive terminal provides members of the public with a method of seeking support and communicating with the site team, safely and without entering a work-zone via the simple push of a button.

The MCS Terminal is geo-located and self-configures when placed in the perimeter of a pre-defined work site. The terminal is fully rechargeable, can be quickly assembled by traffic management operatives and the information boards may be customised accordingly.

MCS Terminals are currently in use across the UK in different infrastructure projects. Their use has been shown to improve safety with members of the public less likely to enter a work site, and by reducing levels of aggression and confrontation against on-site personnel.

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.

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.
