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

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

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

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

Innovative Approach to Pile Cap Process

Alternative to cardboard surround for pile cap process

LCDP Road Blockade programme improvements

To minimise disruption to the travelling public the team are identifying ways to shorten the timing of a Road Blockade

LCDP Reducing carbon in pavement design

Review of the pavement design on M54-M6 link to look for reductions in carbon whilst considering cost.
