Shoreham – Construction Site Dug-In Timber Hoarding Installation

Our client, a construction company with an ongoing development project in Shoreham, approached SafeSite Facilities to secure their site. With development plans underway, the site needed to be effectively secured to ensure safety and prevent unauthorised access. Given that the construction site was located in a high-traffic area, an additional challenge was to provide an aesthetically pleasing solution that would minimise disruption to the local community.

Challenges:

The primary challenge we encountered during this project was the condition of the ground. The uneven surface required careful levelling to ensure that the hoarding would be installed correctly and securely. A flat and stable foundation was essential to guarantee the effectiveness and longevity of the hoarding.

Additionally, due to the high visibility of the site in a busy area, it was critical that the hoarding not only provided security but also contributed to the visual appeal of the construction site. Our team worked closely with the client to meet these demands and deliver a solution that was both functional and visually considerate.

Solution:

To meet the client’s requirements, SafeSite Facilities solution involved the supply and installation of 115 meters of 2.4-meter-high dug-in ground timber hoarding. Timber hoarding was chosen for its durability, aesthetic appeal, and ability to blend with the surrounding environment, providing a cleaner, more professional look.

Additionally, we installed two entry/exit gates to allow for safe and secure access to the site for personnel and materials. These gates were strategically placed to facilitate smooth operations while maintaining a high level of security.

Execution:

Our team took immediate action to address the ground levelling issue. Working alongside the client, we ensured that the ground was properly prepared to create a level surface for the hoarding installation. Once the site was ready, our installation team efficiently set up the timber hoarding and gates in accordance with the project plan. We maintained constant communication with the client to ensure that the project stayed on track.

Despite the additional groundwork, SafeSite Facilities successfully completed the installation on time, delivering a secure, professional, and visually appealing site enclosure solution. The high-quality timber hoarding not only provided the necessary security but also offered an aesthetically pleasing barrier that helped to mitigate the visual impact of the construction process in the high-traffic area.

 

Results:

• The site was securely enclosed with a 2.4m high in-ground timber hoarding, providing both safety and privacy for the construction project.
• The installation was completed on time, meeting the client’s deadline.
• The timber hoarding provided a visually appealing solution that improved the appearance of the construction site in a busy area.
• Two entry/exit gates were successfully installed, facilitating secure and controlled access to the site.
• The project overcame ground levelling issues without compromising the quality or timeline.

Client Feedback:

The client expressed satisfaction with both the professionalism of our team and the final result. They appreciated the collaborative approach to overcoming challenges and the timely delivery of a solution that balanced security with aesthetics.

Conclusion:

This project demonstrates SafeSite Facilities’ ability to provide tailored site security solutions that address both functional and cosmetic needs. Our team’s commitment to overcoming challenges, such as ground levelling, ensured that the client’s Shoreham development project was secure, compliant, and visually considerate of its high-traffic surroundings.
