Define

The A27 Arundel Bypass team has recognised that there is a large number of Utilities that will need to be diverted on the scheme, ranging from high voltage overheads, telecommunications, water, drainage and high pressure mains. This adds a significant time to the programme through both design and construction phases, additional plant movement on site and poses a risk of utility strikes. This project is focused on trying to reduce the number of diversions required on the scheme.

Measure

The team set up a spreadsheet to track the costs for the various services across all of the utility companies affecting the scheme. A process to collect the pre C3 estimates was completed and this provided a baseline of the costs to divert all of the relevant services.

Analyse

The baseline data spreadsheet was used to analyse the Utiltity Diversions that were required on the project. A TIMWOODS exercise was carried out and identified areas of waste.
Transportation of plant to and from site.
Movement – Increased motion on site – people and materials.
Waiting – Waiting on deliveries of material and equipment.
Waiting – Waiting for Utility companies to carry out the work. This is high risk to programme.
Defects - Risk of defects in activity.

Improve

The baseline data spreadsheet was used alongside TIMWOODS to identify the Utilities that can be redesigned and removed from the works. By having this information early and working with the design team we were able to remove the need for 28 utility diversions. We were able to incorporate this within design revisions instead of having to carry out surveys and redesign at a later stage in the project, saving time on programme and resources.

Control

Our Engineering Manager held a number of sessions to ensure the designs incorporated the removal of the utility diversions in line with the data spreadsheets. The data spreadsheets were then presented to BAM’s commercial representatives to sense check and validate.

Transfer

The A3 report was generated. A PowerPoint Presentation was prepared for sharing to a wider forum.
