Mabey Hire, a prominent player in the temporary works sector, is thrilled to announce its participation at Highways UK 2024.
This esteemed exhibition not only serves as a platform for showcasing cutting-edge solutions but also highlights Mabey Hire’s extensive expertise in structural monitoring, standard solutions, and its innovative EVE immersive design software.
With a solid foundation built over 60 years of engineering excellence, Mabey Hire has been instrumental in executing thousands of projects across the UK’s road and rail infrastructure. Their full-service offering encompasses bespoke design, supply, installation, and monitoring of temporary works solutions, ensuring clients receive comprehensive support at every stage of their projects.
Understanding Structural and Environmental Monitoring
Visitors to the Mabey Hire stand (329A) at Highways UK will discover a wealth of information regarding their structural and environmental monitoring solutions. These state-of-the-art tools provide contractors and asset owners with real-time data on the condition and behaviour of their assets. This vital information plays a crucial role in assisting with preventative maintenance, proactive monitoring, and enhancing workforce safety on-site.
Whether it’s monitoring motorway settlement or assessing the structural health of bridges, Mabey Hire’s solutions deliver instant visibility through their unique web portal. The ability to access real-time data is not just a luxury; it’s a necessity in today’s fast-paced construction environment.
A Comprehensive Range of Temporary Works Solutions
Mabey Hire’s offerings extend far beyond monitoring. They boast a robust range of temporary works solutions designed to address diverse project needs. Among these are propping and jacking equipment, often deployed to facilitate bridge deck lifts while maintenance work is carried out in hard-to-reach areas. This equipment is crucial for ensuring the safety and efficiency of operations.
Moreover, the company provides bespoke large-scale temporary works schemes, complemented by standard solutions that offer contractors quick access to pre-engineered designs. This includes essential tools for low-risk groundworks excavations such as manhole braces, trench boxes and shields, and trench crossing units, streamlining processes and reducing the time and effort needed for planning.
Revolutionising Design with Immersive Technology
A key highlight at the exhibition will be Mabey Hire’s digital engineering prowess, particularly through their EVE technology. This immersive design software allows users to navigate an interactive temporary works design, offering an unparalleled level of insight into project layouts and requirements. EVE stands out as a game-changer in the realm of temporary works design, allowing for visualisation and planning that enhances collaboration and accuracy.
John Wrigley, Mabey Hire’s Business Development Manager for Highways, expressed his excitement about the exhibition, stating: “We’re absolutely delighted to be attending Highways UK for the first time. We look forward to discussing the value of temporary works with visitors. Road networks form a key part of our country’s infrastructure, meaning keeping them running is paramount, and proactive maintenance is key.”
Commitment to Reducing Errors and Enhancing Efficiency
Mabey Hire’s commitment to quality and safety is further underscored by their membership in the Get It Right Initiative (GIRI). This initiative aims to eliminate errors within the construction industry, promoting collaboration among members to improve productivity, quality, sustainability, and safety. Mabey Hire is ideally positioned to support National Highways in its goal to achieve a 10% reduction in costs through improved efficiencies and reduced errors on-site and during the design phase.
As Wrigley emphasised: “Our monitoring solutions can be used in many ways to provide assurances and enable proactive or preventative maintenance plans to be put in place, while our comprehensive portfolio of temporary works solutions can support in the delivery of any required works. We’re committed to providing the right support at any stage of the project, from pre-tender and design through to installation and emergency responses.”
