Challenge:
The challenge of moving steel plates around on site was proving to be a safety and logistical nightmare for this contractor. Apart from H&S risk, a certain size excavator was required to lift these into place, plus traffic management arranged whilst this took place = an expensive exercise!
Solution:
Vanguard proposed using the new Modular Road Plate system which is rated to 44T over a 700mm(W) trench, and can be placed over the trench with a 2 person lift. By using this system, the contractor removed a H&S hazard, removed the need for lifting equipment on site, reduced traffic management costs, and completed their project much faster and safer.
