Site Challenges
Project Management & Stakeholder Engagement
The busy four-way junction demanded a comprehensive traffic management strategy to ensure public safety and maintain traffic flow. Our team worked together with the local authority to resolve structural design challenges, ensuring first-time sign-off.
We maintained continuous, clear communication with residents, providing updates and access arrangements to minimise disruption throughout. The result was a safe, durable, and compliant junction completed on time, to budget, and with immediate maintenance approval.
