Highways

Productivity

Effective project management is key to maximizing productivity during construction and maintenance on the UK’s highways. OWL allows real-time monitoring of vehicles, equipment, and personnel, ensuring that resources are deployed optimally and that plant is utilised effectively. This technology helps managers streamline operations by providing a real time view on the location of people, plant and vehicles, enabling better decision-making, reducing downtime and improving programme certainty.

OWL also automates resource allocation records reducing administration costs and providing better quality records. With the RIS3 period focused on increasing efficiency in delivering road improvements, OWL is an essential tool to boost productivity and meet deadlines without compromising quality.

Environmental Protection

Sustainability is a core pillar of the new Road Investment Strategy, and geo-fencing technology plays a pivotal role in environmental protection. OWL allows the geo-fencing of sensitive receptors such as ecological habitats, to ensure they are un-disturbed. The technology also enables the cascade of consent information in manageable size to people in the field based on their location whilst automatically collecting data to demonstrate compliance.

Logistics and Traffic Management

The ability to manage logistics efficiently is essential for delivering highway projects on time and within budget. Geo-location technology enables the seamless coordination of materials, personnel, and equipment, allowing for better planning and execution of tasks.

Real-time tracking improves supply chain visibility, ensuring that deliveries arrive on time and bottlenecks are avoided. Alerts can be provided should a vehicle leave a designated route ensuring compliance with Undertakings and Agreements.
