Challenges
The works were carried out on a busy urban road with high numbers of vehicle & pedestrian traffic in close proximity to the works area. This required a complex Traffic Management Plan to allow free flow of vehicles and pedestrians. Commercial activity, including loading/unloading etc. was also ongoing during the course of the works. Due consideration was therefore taken to organise the proper controls and safety barriers for protection and facilitation of traffic, pedestrians and commercial activity. The works were organised in such a fashion as to minimise any potential hazards or inconveniences to all users. Prior to all phases of the work consultation took place with local business in the affected area and all scheduled deliveries were accommodated. Access was maintained to all business throughout the duration of the works and Shareridge Public Liaison Officer was available throughout the works dealing with local residents and businesses to address their queries and minimise the impact to all stakeholders.
