Construction, Infrastructure & Highways

The construction sector covers many activities from building hospitals to major infrastructure projects and highway improvements.

These activities use a wide range of mobile plant, and managing the people plant interface on complex construction sites is a major task. Operations change quickly, the type of plant used changes, and the environment is harsh, making some systems such as cameras difficult to use without regular cleaning.

Due to the quick, non-invasive installation of the SiteZone Proximity Warning System it can support your fluidity of project and vehicle movements through the evolving project.

Raising the bar

More than 10 years ago, through the ‘Raising the bar’ initiative, we worked collaboratively with supply chain partners and National Highways to identify best practice, raise standards, and improve supply chain engagement in plant person interface.

Raising the bar section 3 gives a detailed review of our proximity warning sensors and how they've been used to support safe working practices when people are working closely with mobile plant on highways.

"People Plant Interface is one of the top fatal risks identifiers in the construction industry. This smart technology is pure safety, it makes certain that performing certain tasks in close proximity to a machine cause zero harm.”

Fatalities increasing in the construction sector

The average number of worker deaths in construction in the latest 2 years is statistically significantly higher than the pre-pandemic period (2016/17- 2018/19), showing there is still a lot of work to be done in this sector.

So, there’s a good reason that leading contractors have already deployed SiteZone proximity warning systems on some of the highest-profile projects in the UK:

Smart Motorways M1 T1-T3
Major Road Projects A30, A1 Upgrades
Crossrail
Anfield Stadium Redevelopment
Dawlish 2014 Railway Post Storm Repairs

360 detection on all vehicles

SiteZone Proximity Warning Syst ems (PWS) can be installed on all vehicles commonly found on construction sites including loaders, excavators, dumpers, diggers, and tippers to help support your site safety goals and reduce the risks of collisions with moving plant.

Available as an 'easy fit', Quick Fit or iNstant, that requires no hard wiring and with the option to hire, makes it suited to construction projects where mobile plant is hired as needed.
