Safeguarding the A4119 Coed Ely Dual Carriageway Project

Llantrisant, Rhondda Cynon Taf, South Wales

Griffiths Contractors took on the ambitious task of transforming the existing A road into a dual carriageway, spanning 1.5 kilometers from Coed Ely roundabout to Llantrisant Business Park. This project also included the construction of a new active travel bridge to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists, ensuring safe passage over the new road.

challenges

Geographical Complexity: While the project covered a relatively short distance, approximately 1.5 kilometers, it presented terrain complexities that needed to be carefully managed.

Duration of the Project: With a project timeline of nearly two years, considerations for maintenance, especially during the challenging winter months, were paramount.

Solutions

Customised CCTV Deployment: Blue Light Services developed a customised security solution by strategically deploying CCTV systems across multiple sites. To tackle the geographical complexities, 4×4 vehicles were used for the installation of these systems in remote and challenging locations.

Innovative Power Supply: In areas where traditional power sources were absent, our team introduced Solar CCTV Towers with Fuel Cell technology, powered by methanol. These units could operate for an impressive six months before needing methanol replenishment, a crucial feature during the shorter daylight hours of winter.

Comprehensive Coverage: Given the project’s complexity and the need to protect multiple areas and compounds, Blue Light Services conducted extensive Risk Assessments and Site Surveys, led by our qualified personnel. This approach provided valuable insights into the area, helping us determine optimal tower locations to ensure maximum coverage.

Proactive Measures: We established regular monthly site meetings and conducted field walks to closely monitor the project’s progress. This proactive approach allowed us to adapt to project changes and maintain the highest level of security.

Covert Security: To address early-stage theft issues from plant equipment, we deployed covert cameras directly on the equipment. This proactive measure provided advanced warnings and even led to the arrest of perpetrators, sending a clear message to the local community about our commitment to security.
