Kier A417 Missing Link: Solar-Hybrid -powered lighting sustainable Solution

Kier A417 Missing Link: Solar hybrid power reduce fuel use by 75%, saving £394,466 and reducing CO₂e by 495,273 kg/year.

Regulatory Monitoring & ORR Relations SharePoint

The Regulatory Monitoring Team have split into two distinct teams but still using the same internal SharePoint page.

Converting HVO to LPG Generators

Converting HVO to LPG Generators

Kier A585 Lodge Lane Piling Improvement Project

Kier team ensures piles are cropped after concrete reaches specified strength, meeting tight tolerances for orientation

50% faster Bored Piling based on Direct Works Observations

Use of Direct Works Observations to inform process improvement for bored piling on M1 Emergency Area Program

Introducing "Tasks Made Ready" - to optimise Collaborative Planning

Introducing Tasks Made Ready reviews to Collaborative Planning routine, one of 7 layers of protection to programme

Improvements to Installation of Redi-Rock Retaining Wall

Improvements to Installation of Redi-Rock Retaining Wall

Improved plunge pile installation outputs

Improvements to plunge pile installation productivity

M40-M42 Interchange - Use of Collaborative Planning

Use of collaborative planning system to manage short term programme

Collab Planning & Production Management Implementation on NH TA2 Framework

Implementation of Lean production management processes on TA2 schemes to drive higher levels of delivery reliability

LCDP - Use of permanent formwork for concrete foundation slabs

Improve construction output of concrete foundation slabs

Central Reserve Concrete barrier installation

The M40/M42 Interchange scheme had 11km of central reserve concrete barrier to construct in 8 months

Productivity Improvement - Construction of Emergency Refuge Areas - Sheetpiling

Improvements to sheetpiling activity

Improved management of keys

Keys did not have a specific safe storage location with a consistent, robust management process in place for them

LCDP Communications sign off process improvement

The process for External communications was not defined, or consistent. This led to delays and confusion

LCDP Reduction in utility diversions

A27 Arundel Bypass team recognised there is potential waste in the large number of Utility diversions

LCDP Earthworks balance

M54-M6 has a large volume of Earthworks. It is important that there is a balance of cut and fill activities

7 day accuracy Key Performance Indicator improvement Yorkshire and North East

To understand how roadwork accuracy can be improved in Yorkshire and North East to support the KPI corporate measure

LCDP Alternative Sprayed Concrete Cladding to Contiguous Piled Walls / Abutments

Alternative design for concrete cladding to wing walls which are primarily for aesthetic purposes rather than structural

Collaborative Scheme Delivery

Improving certainty and on time delivery of schemes in Operations South West through improved early collaborations

PABS correspondence improvement project and resource evaluation

All Ops PABS regions understanding and working together to mitigate issues limiting their chance of meeting required KPI

Alternative solution to embankment design

Changing embankment design to support effective delivery and reduce programme duration on critical path
