The Services We Provide
Our team takes care of all aspects of road closure planning and execution, from conducting initial assessments to obtaining necessary approvals and overseeing the closure on-site. Allow us to explain how we can assist you:
A well-executed road closure begins with a thorough plan. Our team collaborates with you to create a comprehensive strategy that considers various elements such as traffic patterns, busy periods, and the wellbeing of pedestrians. We make certain that with each plan:
- We aim to minimise disruption to the surrounding communities, businesses, and road users with our thoughtfully designed plans.
- We make sure to comply with all applicable local and national regulations by obtaining the required permits and approvals from authorities.
- At our company, we take pride in our ability to plan and execute effective diversion routes. We do so by strategically placing highly visible signage to guide drivers around the closure and minimise any potential confusion or mishaps.
Our team is equipped to handle the complexities of navigating the legal aspects of road closures. We will take care of all the necessary steps to ensure that your road closure is compliant with local laws and regulations, so you can rest assured that everything is done correctly. 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.
Maintaining traffic flow is crucial when a road closure occurs. We strategise and execute effective alternative routes that safely direct both vehicles and pedestrians around the impacted zone. Our planning for diversions consists of:
- 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.
In instances of limited road access or sections that warrant lane limitations, we offer temporary traffic control measures, such as:
- 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.
Looking to organise a major public gathering like an event, parade, or festival? Allow our team to provide you with customised road closure solutions for the efficient and secure flow of traffic in and around your event. Our offerings 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.
After your road closure plan has been approved, our team takes over the entire execution process. This includes setting up barriers and signage, as well as providing real-time traffic control. Our goal is to handle everything in a professional manner, which includes::
- 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.
