ISO14001 | TMO Highways

TMO Highways take part in environmental work day

The wildlife trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire & Northamptonshire welcomed Octavious who invited ourselves, Tarmac Ltd & Cambridgeshire Highways to do some essential scrub clearance.

Fulborn Fen, an area of special scientific interest was the venue for a working party of 15 hardy souls who braved the rain to ensure the longevity of the fenland by keeping back pesky scrub and brambles.

Following our annual visit from BSI we are happy that we have once again retained our ISO14001 accreditation. During the 5 day visit we showcased our commitments to reducing our impact on the environment whilst still being able to deliver our high standards that our clients expect from us.

Delivering traffic management across East Anglia and London means we clock up a lot of miles and whilst the electric vehicle technology isn’t quite where it needs to be to run a fleet of 40 flatbeds across such a vast area we do still invest in other areas of business where we can.

We are proud to announce that due to our excellent performance for UK Power Networks in Norfolk that we are now their primary supplier in Bedfordshire & Cambridgeshire for both planned and emergency works.

TMO and UKPN have long had a great working relationship and this has been further strengthen by the high quality performance levels we have provided them during year one for the latest contract award. Our daily strive for the highest quality service has facilitated the ability for us to expand our coverage area for their electrical works.

Credit must go to the entire operations and planning teams who have excelled when it comes to hitting UK Power Networks 2 hour emergency response KPI as well as our punctuality for their planned works. Our highly skilled planning team are often the first port of call when it comes to emergency works. They use their years of skill and experience to asses the traffic management required before providing a kit list or a CAD plan to allow our operatives to begin loading to ensure we get on site within the 2 hours. Our internal standards mean that any traffic management plan is doubled checked by a Lantra M7 qualified member of staff to ensure that our ‘right first time’ promise is met. Our commitment to efficient time keeping extends to our manual control requests, operative on site and planned works. We invest heavily in the last technology to accurately and honestly report our performance related data to our clients. This open and honest approach to our performance builds a strong sense of trust and allows us to take control of our own destiny within any contract framework. The entire team from office through to operatives understand the standards required to work at TMO Highways. The Directors are now working behind the scenes to secure a new depot in the area allowing us to bring our high quality of work to the streets of Cambridge, St Neots, Peterborough, Bedford, Ampthill, St Ives and beyond into the Midlands.

TMO Highways Go Green with the use of the latest Nissan Solar Powered Traffic Lights.

Ian Gray from Intelligent Traffic Signals who have supplied TMO Highways with the latest technology caught up with Ben Green our Operations Director and this is what Ben had to say about the 3 month trial…

Here at TMO Highways we are fully committed to reducing our impact on the global climate situation. There’s plenty of greenwashing happening but we as an ISO:14001 environmentally accredited business are constantly on the lookout for ways to reduce our carbon footprint. Undertaking weekly routine battery changes and the mileage associated with this task is an area where the Traffic Management industry as a whole can make massive forwards strides by using Solar Technology.
