The two year, £165 million refurbishment of the UK’s HM Treasury building in Whitehall, London has been completed with the help of the Zone Manager vehicle and crane management solution from The Logistics Business.
Contractor Clipfine delivered more than 70 truck loads of material per day to the confined King Charles Street site in the heart of London.
‘This is a large project, but we only had space for two vehicles at a time, so had to organise things precisely,’ said Steve McHugh, logistics manager of Clipfine. ‘We used Zone Manager to create a schedule for all our cranes, hoists, and vehicle deliveries which we can then use to manage what could easily have become chaos if we were not on top of it.’
Zone Manager software produces a weekly delivery schedule sheet distributed to all contractors on site. Each delivery that arrives within its allocated 15-minute slot is directed to a booking-in area for unloading by crane or sub-contractors. Materials are then taken directly to the area of the site where they are required.
