What we do
We handle every aspect of road closure planning and execution, from initial assessments to gaining approvals and managing the closure on-site. Here’s how we can help:
A successful road closure starts with a detailed plan. Our team works with you to develop a comprehensive road closure plan that takes into account all factors, including traffic flow, peak hours, and pedestrian safety. We ensure that every plan:
- Minimises Disruption: Our plans are designed to cause the least amount of disruption possible to local communities, businesses, and road users.
- Adheres to Regulations: We ensure full compliance with all local and national regulations, securing the necessary permits and approvals from authorities.
- Clear Signage & Diversions: We plan and implement diversion routes with clear, visible signage to guide drivers safely around the closure and prevent confusion.
Navigating the legal aspects of road closures can be complex. Our team handles all the necessary steps to ensure your road closure is fully compliant with local laws and regulations. This includes:
- Permit Applications: We liaise with local councils and authorities to secure the required road closure permits, so you don’t have to.
- Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO): For long-term or major closures, we apply for and obtain TROs to ensure your closure meets legal requirements.
Keeping traffic moving is key during a road closure. We design and implement efficient diversion routes that guide vehicles and pedestrians safely around the affected area. Our diversion planning includes:
- Clear Signage: Our team provides all the necessary road signs and ensures they are placed in highly visible locations to prevent confusion.
- Traffic Flow Optimisation: We analyse traffic patterns to minimise congestion and delays on diversion routes, helping road users reach their destinations safely and efficiently.
- Pedestrian Safety: We plan safe, accessible walkways for pedestrians, ensuring they can navigate the area without risk.
For partial road closures or areas that require lane restrictions, we provide temporary traffic control measures, including:
- Temporary Traffic Lights: To control the flow of vehicles and maintain safe passage, we set up temporary traffic lights as needed.
- Barrier & Cone Placement: We strategically place barriers and cones to guide traffic around the closed area while keeping workers and pedestrians safe.
- Traffic Marshals: Our team can provide trained traffic marshals to manage the flow of vehicles and ensure safety on-site.
Planning a large public event, parade, or festival? We offer specialised event road closure services to ensure the safe and smooth management of traffic around your event. Our services include:
- Traffic Flow for Attendees: We manage road closures, parking, and pedestrian access to ensure a seamless experience for event-goers.
- Coordination with Authorities: We work closely with local councils and event organisers to ensure all closures meet regulatory standards and that attendees are kept informed.
- On-Site Support: Our team is on-site during your event to manage the road closure, respond to any issues, and ensure smooth traffic control.
Once your road closure plan is approved, our team manages the full execution of the road closure. From setting up barriers and signage to providing real-time traffic control, we ensure everything is handled professionally, including:
- Timely Setup & Removal: We set up road closures and diversions quickly and efficiently at the agreed times, and remove them promptly when work is completed to reopen the road as soon as possible.
- On-Site Monitoring: Our experienced traffic management team monitors the site throughout the closure, ensuring everything runs smoothly and addressing any issues as they arise.
- Emergency Response: Should any unforeseen issues occur during the road closure, our team is equipped to respond quickly to resolve the situation and maintain safety.
