How real-time reporting boosts fiber construction progress

🔷 Willington Substation – Overcoming a Critical Constraint Early engagement is key to unlocking access for abnormal indivisible loads. At Willington Substation, one of the integral Network Rail bridges on the approach route had been downgraded to 44te with no abnormal loads permitted — effectively blocking the only viable access. Working for National Grid, alongside AECOM, a more detailed structural assessment was carried out which allowed the bridge to be passed under strict conditions to minimise stress on the structure and eliminate uncontrolled risk: ✔️ Pre- and post-movement inspections ✔️ Monitoring during the crossing by an engineer ✔️ No other traffic on the structure during the move ✔️ Centreline running of the vehicle ✔️ Controlled slow-speed crossing The video below shows the movement across the structure by specialist haulier Allelys. This is a great example of our role as independent consultants — finding a way to secure clearance on vital routes into nationally significant sites.

Great stuff. Developing and running projects takes more than knowing electric stuff. If you can't deliver required heavy plant, in substation context it means transformers and reactors, also may be other items, you don't have a viable project.

6months of preparation with multiple agencies involved to inspect, assess, monitor and cross this critical bridge safely. A track possession and BAPA were required from Network Rail. The first movement shown is outbound with a strategic spare transported by Allelys, from Willington substation to Redbridge substation in east London. This is a reminder that not only is it key to be able to deliver heavy transformers into a site, but also to maintain that access throughout the life of the substation. In the case of Redbridge, this shows that the limiting factor to access can be miles away from the destination, but it all needs planning. The second of three movements over the structure this year was undertaken last weekend by Collett & Sons Ltd. Hyosung Heavy Industries UK Branch AECOM Network Rail National Grid

🛠️ The UK's infrastructure is getting older... and it's starting to show. Across civils and highways, companies are dealing with: 👉 Bridges, drainage and road systems that need more frequent inspections 👉 Tight budgets and even tighter deadlines 👉 Clients who now expect digital proof, not just "yeah, it's sorted" The industry is shifting fast toward smarter, data-backed maintenance. And that's exactly where MyMobileWorkers fits in. ✅ Digital inspections and defect logging right from site 📸 Instant photo evidence with timestamps 🗓️ Auto-scheduling for recurring maintenance jobs 📊 Full visibility for clients, planners and auditors When infrastructure ages, proof becomes everything. It's not about guessing anymore - it's about showing the data behind every job. 👉 Want to see how civils companies are moving from reactive to proactive?

The #selfloadingconcretemixer's equipped with functions such as remote monitoring, intelligent scheduling, and fault warning. Its advantages in construction efficiency and transportation cost control are becoming increasingly prominent.

Charter-Spectrum contractors kicked off underground fiber installation along Yorktown Boulevard in Corpus Christi on Oct. 15, with lane closures expected near Brentridge Drive through the end of the month. https://ow.ly/c9t550XcFHA

Understanding Traffic Control Plans: Purpose, Components, and Importance Traffic control is an essential part of any construction, maintenance, or event planning process that impacts public roadways. Whether it's a short-term utility repair or a long-term infrastructure project, Traffic Control Plans (TCPs) ensure the safety of workers, drivers, and pedestrians while maintaining efficient traffic flow.

Dublin, Ohio is relocating overhead power and telecom lines underground along South High Street as part of a multi-year utility burial project. Phase 2 is underway and expected to finish in spring 2026. https://ow.ly/q2RS50X5C59

Beneath every city lies a complex web of water, sewer, gas, electric, and fiber lines. Locating these utilities before excavation isn’t just important—it’s essential for safety, cost efficiency, and project success. Yet too often, un-locatable pipes, outdated records, and skipped tracer wire installation create dangerous blind spots. The consequences? Service outages, costly damages, and risks to both workers and the public. At OSP Technologies, we’ve spent over four decades tackling these challenges head-on. From engineering to construction, we bring precision, compliance, and experience to every project—ensuring utilities are located, risks are minimized, and infrastructure stays protected.
