Octavius saves 6 months on Geotechnical scheme planning

Challenges faced

An embankment slippage, caused by the natural movement of earth, risked infringing on the UK’s busiest orbital motorway. To correct the issue, Octavius was given a standard unfinished design by the contractor. The team needed to complete these designs and make a swift start to the programme works due to the imminent bird nesting season. Which limited the timeframe to cut down vegetation. Missing this window would cause several months of delay.

"We halved the time it normally takes to hand plans back to the client for approval—what took us 6 weeks using Sensat typically has taken 3 months to complete."Sean Coleman, Innovation & Quality Manager, Octavius Infrastructure
