Highways England: Time-Sensitive Camera Installations on the M25

Highways England required specialised lifting operations for safety camera installations at the M25 Junction 10. The project demanded exceptional flexibility and rapid turnaround due to strict road closure restrictions, requiring highly responsive project management to coordinate technical teams and achieve a precise project milestone.

The project was defined by extreme logistical and scheduling pressures. Works were time-sensitive, restricted entirely to out-of-hours windows, and frequently issued with limited notice for works from the client. This demanded a highly agile service capable of managing multiple lifting scenarios across various locations, all while maintaining the highest levels of safety and compliance within an active strategic road network (SRN).

The core solution relied on expert project management that prioritised agility and compliance. The team demonstrated immediate flexibility to provide lifting teams on short notice, successfully aligning their deployments with unpredictable road closure timings. Crucially, strict safety documentation, including all required surveys and RAMS, was completed and approved within the highly restricted timeframes. This responsive service facilitated the completion of all safety camera installations, directly enabling the reopening of the M25 Junction 10.

Despite the pressures of limited notice and out-of-hours working, the necessary pre-works surveys and RAMS (Risk Assessments and Method Statements) were swiftly approved. The provision of flexible lifting teams allowed all safety camera installations to be completed in coordination with the required road closures, ensuring testing could be finalised before the scheduled reopening of the M25 Junction 10.
