Efficiency at work – gas road repairs
Road excavation is sometimes necessary to upgrade equipment and services to improve our operational performance. This type of work must always be done in line with legislative and regulatory obligations and completed in an efficient way to minimise disruption.
The UK’s Traffic Management Act 2004 is designed to provide the basis for better conditions for all road users through the proactive management of the national and local road network. In 2006, we formed the traffic management act (TMA) programme to refine and align our existing processes with the legislation.
Our efforts were recognised in December when we were awarded Team of the Year in the 2008 Utility Industry Achievement Awards. The awards are backed by trade publication Utility Week and were judged by an independent panel of industry experts who recognised the TMA programme as an excellent example of collaboration and teamwork.
