JOINT WINNER 1: Chris Tandy with Van Elle / bmJV piling teams
Following a review of lessons learned from M6 J4-5 DHS scheme, the bmJV team instigated a Lean process review of plunge piling for verge CCTV masts. This work was undertaken during night lane closures with short working windows. Ordinarily, it required two nights of TM, attendance and exposure to live lanes. Working collaboratively with Van Elle and the Lean team, bmJV completed installation in just over two hours. As well as sharing with the M42 DHS scheme to multiply the commercial and safety benefits, quantity surveyor Chris Tandy proactively shared the knowledge with Balfour Beatty for use on the M1 J10-13 scheme, where further performance improvements were made.
