Site Challenges
Due to the high volume of traffic on this route, the works had to be carefully and meticulously planned to minimise any potential disruption. Extensive planning with Hartlepool Borough Council’s road space team and management of works programme ensured that the impact on traffic flow within the local area was kept to a minimum during the works.
The extensive traffic management, introduced restricted working areas which added additional complexity to the project. The limitations of the working area made it essential to develop a considered strategy with a strong emphasis on safety whilst minimising any inconvenience to the local area.
Minimising disruption to the local area was a top priority throughout the project. This emphasises the need for a thoughtful and community-oriented approach when working in areas with limited space and traffic constraints.

Vista have at all times been professional with the project, always giving updates on what the current situation was with the works! Always available for any meetings that may have been required to discuss any issues / problems on site! Been able to communicate and explain with ease what works you required from the workmen, going the extra mile to make sure that the job was going to be completed on time with as minimum disruption as possible!
Hopefully it wont be too long before I am working with Vista on another project in Hartlepool!”

“‘I recently had the pleasure of working with Vista Civil Engineering on a challenging Section 278 project, and I must say that their level of expertise and service is second to none. From the initial consultation to the project's completion, their team demonstrated a remarkable commitment to delivering exceptional results.
The project involved the implementation of Section 278 works to a legacy residential estate. Vista were not only highly knowledgeable but also displayed a deep understanding of highway adoption works. Their ability to navigate the con-straints of the project ensured that the works were completed smoothly.
Throughout the project, the team maintained clear and open lines of communication. They were responsive to our questions and concerns and provided regular updates on the project's progress.
The completed highway works met our expectations in terms of functionality, safety, and durability. It's evident that Vista takes pride in their work and is committed to delivering projects that stand the test of time.
I highly recommend Vista to anyone seeking a company that combines exceptional expertise, transparent communica-tion, and a commitment to sustainable and high-quality Section 278 delivery. I look forward to working with them again in the future.”
