Truly understanding the environment around the works site before arriving is one of the toughest challenges in street works. The one.network Works Planning tool, developed in partnership with Morrison Utility Services and Yorkshire Water, brings together multiple data layers to give a holistic view of the surrounding area for better planning.

It enables streetworks teams to rapidly risk assess works sites early in the planning process prior to visiting site, enabling better decisions to be made around scheduling, permitting and safety. Getting more works right first time helps reduce aborts, re-plans, traffic management compliance failures and FPNs.

Since implementation it has seen

  • Over 35% decrease in the number of works being aborted, reducing overall delivery costs
  • 38% increase in the number of works planned
  • Increase of 25% in operational productivity (jobs/day)

With wider benefits including

  • More jobs completed right first-time result in less impact on the road network/traffic congestion
  • More effective use of available data enhances the scope for collaborative work
  • Reduction of potential H&S incidents - better risk mitigation due to effective presentation of location and other data
