From the pavement, it looks simple. It rarely is.

Riu Plaza Hotel in Victoria

At the Riu Plaza Hotel in Victoria, our client needed to replace the glass panels across the front entrance high-value, high-risk work on one of central London’s busiest frontages, with hotel guests arriving, pedestrians passing and traffic flowing all around it.

Before a single panel could be lifted, the street had to be made safe. That’s where TMO came in. Traffic Management in London and Event Management in the wider TFL Area are often tricky compared to other areas due to the specific needs of local councils while working in the UK’s busiest city, but for us it’s just another day and something we are well prepared for.

Our teams have the experience and training needed to work with councils in the busiest areas of the country all the way down to tiny countryside roads. Either way to us, its about safety and the job going smoothly for our clients.

We worked and supported our client with the dialogue with the local authority from the earliest stage, designed the traffic management solution, and delivered:

🚧 A full road closure

🚶 A footpath closure

🚦 A standalone temporary pedestrian crossing

That crossing matters. Closing a footpath in central London is easy closing it and still getting volumes of people safely across the road is the bit that takes thought. Everyone walking past that site was someone heading home.

Alongside that, we worked with @Safesite to install temporary hoarding, which stayed in place to create a secure compound for storing equipment and materials for the duration of the works.

Thanks to our client and to the TMO team who planned and delivered this one properly.

Service & Safety. Guaranteed.
