SOCOTEC UK’s Monitoring team were approached to provide a temporary/rental system to monitor the railway assets adjacent to the temporary works on a railway bridge, located on River Way, Harlow, Essex. The client, Essex Highways, and Network Rail required assurance that any structural movements were in-line with predicted ground movements and that any significant movement trends could be identified at an early stage. SOCOTEC UK’s Monitoring team proposed a monitoring system that included 75m of track tilts installed at 3m c/c spacing on each line, critical rail thermometers, both tilt and vibration monitoring on the bridge piers, and tilt monitoring on the surrounding OHLE supports. SOCOTEC’s scope also included baseline and close-out track geometry surveys, with additional surveys as required if any significant movement had been detected by the automated system. This provided further assurance to the client and Network Rail that all movements were being accurately reported. The installation works and initial track geometry survey were completed over a single possession lasting 5.5 hours. The data was hosted online, giving the client and Network Rail live access to the data and direct email alerts if any trigger values were exceeded throughout the duration of works. SOCOTEC UK’s temporary monitoring system provided assurance to the client and Network Rail that any structural movements were in-line with predicted ground movements and that any significant movement trends could be identified at an early stage. This allowed for quick response times and corrective action if needed, minimising potential downtime or disruptions to train services. SOCOTEC UK’s monitoring system provided effective and reliable monitoring of railway assets adjacent to a temporary worksite. The automated system allowed for a quick and accurate reporting of any significant movement trends, providing assurance to the client and Network Rail that their assets were being monitored and protected.

Panthera Group was awarded the hoarding contract to secure the site for the installation of a 60ft Damian Hirst sculpture at the Greenwich Peninsula by the Thames in London. Following in the footsteps of Venice and Las Vegas, the ‘Demon with Bowl’ bronze sculpture is being brought to South East London as part of the developer’s vision to make the area the capital’s most boldly modern landscape. Prior to the installation, Panthera Group was contracted to supply and erect 151m of net zero carbon EnviroHoard® 2.4 to the perimeter of the area to ensure a safe working site for contractors and to protect the public from the works. A further 30m length of the sustainable hoarding was installed round the compound area. Both lengths feature environmentally-friendly, custom printed graphics designed to keep the public informed of the transformation of the area. The whole of North Greenwich is being transformed with housing, businesses and a design centre which has a mission to bring together culture, community, design and architecture to create a vibrant 21st Century Space. The site is adjacent to Silvertown Tunnel construction project designed to ease traffic flow in the locality. EnviroHoard® from Panthera Group has also been used to secure the boundary of that ongoing project. Neal James is Managing Director of Panthera Group and was responsible for developing the net carbon zero hoarding solution which has gained considerable traction with Tier 1 and 2 contractors, as well as smaller construction companies that are looking to eliminate carbon from building projects; “We are delighted that EnviroHoard® is now being specified by some of the UK’s leading businesses on many game changing projects in the South East, including Greenwich Peninsula. Over 60% of our hoarding contracts now specify EnviroHoard®, with its fully recycled and recyclable uPVC panels, low carbon Enviroblok™ and durable steel frame. This means we’re not felling trees to use virgin timber for single use hoarding projects. In fact, EnviroHoard® can be used over and over again offering not only environmental benefits, but commercial ones too.” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
uvex has released an array of cutting-edge safety footwear that is suitable for use across a range of different work environments.

NSW promotes scaffolding as a viable and rewarding career option for everyone regardless of age, gender or background but it also provides the opportunity to celebrate some of the great achievements of organisations and individuals already operating within the sector and showcase best practices, innovation and the sheer dedication to quality and competence which already exists. There will be plenty of opportunities to get involved in NSW – regardless of your current circumstances. The website will host a range of resources to guide and support those looking to take up a role in scaffolding including a blog, useful links and insights into life in scaffolding. For those already working in the industry, NSW is a chance to celebrate your sector – a digital campaign toolkit will be available for download and will comprise a range of digital assets to help you show your support online. After the success of last year, NSW will once again open nominations to find the UK’s ‘Scaffolding Stars’ – an individual that has gone over and above in their role, demonstrating the determination and dedication of the scaffolding sector. Robert Candy, Chief Executive, Scaffolding Association said; “It was fantastic to see the support that last year’s National Scaffolding Week attracted – with organisations and individuals from across the sector coming together to stand in support of a common goal. This year we hope to build on last year’s success and establish NSW as the annual celebration flying the flag for the scaffolding and access industry.” To stay up-to-date with everything happening during National Scaffolding Week, visit: www.nationalscaffoldingweek.com Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
The construction industry must continue to invest in protection against metal theft, says a site security expert. Nationally there were almost 20,000 cases of metal theft in 2020/21 which is 20% higher than the pre-pandemic reporting year (2018/19). SafeSite Facilities say although a new law ten years ago achieved a huge drop in metal theft, it continues to be a problem costing industry and society millions. The Scrap Metal Dealers Act was introduced in 2013 and fought metal theft by imposing stricter regulations on scrap dealers. Despite going a huge way to reducing crime which was estimated to cost the economy close to £1 billion each year, tens of thousands of incidents continue to be reported. Metal theft costs businesses dearly; in an incident over the New Year, copper cables worth £30,000 were stolen from a number of generators in West Berkshire. The cost of buying or hiring a CCTV solution is miniscule by comparison. Companies like SafeSite Facilities, who can provide rapid deployment site security options at a competitive rate, urge you to have vigilant measures in place and leave nothing left to chance. Defend your perimeter Hoarding is the first and foremost effective tool in preventing metal theft from construction sites because most people who steal metal are prevented from entering. Hoarding is a sturdy and time-tested form of temporary barrier, typically made of metal or wood, erected around the perimeter of a construction site to keep the public and unauthorised personnel out. This helps to reduce the risk of theft by limiting access to the site and restricting who can enter. By providing a physical barrier between the site and the outside world, hoarding creates a secure environment where materials, tools and equipment can be safely stored when not in use. Hoarding can also serve as a visual deterrent to potential thieves. A well-constructed hoarding system visible from a distance can help discourage theft by signalling to would-be thieves that the site is well protected. Caught in the act CCTV is another effective tool in preventing metal theft. By providing 24/7 surveillance of the site, cameras can deter potential thieves from attempting to steal metal as they know their actions will be captured on camera. Should a theft occur, the footage captured on camera can be used by authorities as evidence in identification and prosecution. A portable CCTV system, such as those sold by SafeSite Facilities, allows for greater flexibility in terms of placement, as it can be moved to different areas of the site as needed. This means that all site areas can be monitored, reducing the risk of theft and increasing overall security. Mobile systems can also be more cost-effective than a permanent installation, especially for construction sites that are only active for a limited period. A portable system can be quickly deployed and set up, providing immediate protection for construction sites. This is particularly useful for construction sites located in high-risk areas or temporarily vacant, as the system can be easily moved to a new location if needed. SafeSite Facilities’ high-definition mobile CCTV towers are connected to an Alarm Receiving Centre that provides total out-of-hours supervision. The team are alerted by the camera to any movement, and if this is deemed suspicious, the owner and the police are quickly notified. Tubular bells Scaffold alarms are a great addition to construction sites thanks to their round-the-clock wireless connection to a dedicated monitoring team. When triggered, SafeSite Facilities’ popular alarms send a wireless signal to the 24/7 monitoring station, alerting them to potential theft. The monitoring unit can then take appropriate action, such as contacting the police or dispatching security personnel to the site. The wireless link between the scaffold alarms and the monitoring station provides several benefits. It allows for rapid response in the event of a theft, as the monitoring station can take immediate action as soon as the alarm is triggered. The wireless link also eliminates the need for hardwired connections, making it easier to install the alarms and reducing the cost and disruption associated with traditional security systems. Some light relief Mobile lighting towers help by providing a well-lit environment that deters potential metal thieves and makes it easier to identify any suspicious activity. Lighting towers are mobile light units that can be simply taken to another part of the worksite as and when required. It provides bright, efficient lighting that illuminates the entire site, reducing the risk of theft by making it difficult for thieves to operate in the shadows. The bright lighting provided by the tower also makes it easier for construction workers and security personnel to see what is happening around the site, allowing them to identify any potential threats and take action, if necessary, quickly. Don’t forget that the presence of the lighting tower can serve as a visible deterrent to potential thieves, who are less likely to target a site that is well-lit and actively monitored. The tower can also be fitted with a generator, making it possible to provide lighting even in areas without electricity. Michael Knibbs, Managing Director at SafeSite Facilities, emphasised the need to safeguard sites: “Whether operating a small construction project or a large, multi-site operation, owners can take active steps to protect their construction sites against metal theft. We have many products to make a site safe and secure. Our Minder Wireless product, for example uses advanced AI to reduce false alarms and accurately detect intruders. “Whatever your project or budget, with the right security measures, you can rest easy knowing that your site is well protected, and your assets are secure.” https://www.safesitefacilities.co.uk/products/construction-site-security Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
