Project Description
Hughie Construction Ltd is an established civil engineering and groundworks contractor, delivering the critical civils, groundworks and infrastructure projects for major developments across the UK. From bulk earthworks and deep drainage to reinforced substructures and adoptable roads.
The Challenge
Moving earth, below ground obstructions, utilities, and heavy plant are a daily reality for Hughie Construction's site teams and they needed a safety partner who understood that in groundworks, conditions can change in a blink of an eye.
The Solution
Yorkshire Health and Safety Ltd worked with Hughie Construction to engineer a groundworks specific safety framework. One that protects teams without slowing the critical path of the project.
Our Support Included:
-
Ongoing regulatory advice and support
-
Industry accreditation support
-
Implementation of a dynamic safety management system
-
Project support.
The Results:
-
The service strike record is immaculate with CAT & Genny procedures and ‘permit-to-dig’ systems keeping buried utilities in check and controlled.
-
Site teams now resolve safety bottlenecks in real time, with Yorkshire Health and Safety providing management support and on-site backup.
"We're the first trade on site, and if we stop, everyone stops. Yorkshire Health and Safety get that and that means we can focus on getting the ground ready, safely."
