At Solent Streetworks Consultants Ltd, no two projects are exactly the same.
One client may need guidance navigating the process of arranging a parking suspension to accommodate planned works and traffic management. Another may need a comprehensive utility search pack compiled quickly before excavation can progress.
Recently, we supported two separate clients with precisely those requirements.
Parking Suspension? Taken Care Of.
For one client, we coordinated a parking suspension to support planned works on College Grove Road.
The local authority confirmed the suspension of approximately 40 metres of permit holders' parking bays adjacent to the works area for the required dates.
Signage was arranged to notify residents and motorists of the temporary suspension, and a vehicle dispensation permit was issued to allow the works vehicle to park within the suspended area.
An additional parking bay was also required to support the works and traffic management. As the bay was unrestricted, Parking Services were unable to formally suspend it. However, arrangements were made for the works team to take control of the area and cone it off for the duration of the works.
With the parking arrangements confirmed and all necessary details in place, another key element of the project was resolved.
Parking suspensions can be an important part of works planning, particularly where space is required for vehicles, equipment, or traffic management.
At Solent Streetworks Consultants Ltd, we handle the coordination involved, helping clients navigate the process and liaise with the relevant authorities — so they can focus on delivering the works.
Safe Digs Pack Turned Around in Less Than Two Hours
For a separate client, the requirement was very different — but the need for efficient, timely coordination was exactly the same.
The client required a Safe Digs utility search pack for a planned works location.
From receiving the necessary information to delivering the completed pack, we turned it around in under two hours.
The site-specific pack brought together the available utility information, plans, and responses into a single, well-organised document, giving the client everything they needed to progress their planned works.
Our Safe Digs packs can include utility search responses, plant information, and relevant safety guidance, with the search location and response status clearly documented throughout.
Another satisfied client, and another example of how quickly Solent Streetworks Consultants Ltd can respond when support is needed.
Need It Fast? Ask About Our Priority 24-Hour Service
We understand that projects do not always come with plenty of notice.
Works programmes can change, deadlines can shift, and information may be needed at short notice.
That is why we offer a priority Safe Digs turnaround service within 24 hours, available for an additional fee.
This service is ideal for clients working to tight timescales who need their Safe Digs pack compiled as quickly as possible.
As utility searches are dependent on receiving information from the relevant asset owners, turnaround times can vary according to the availability of responses. Once the necessary information has been received, however, we work quickly to collate and organise it into a clear, site-specific pack.
