Everyone Went Home Safely

Aone+ used the Safelane system to close around 5 kilometres of the A14 between junction 7 and junction 3 westbound. The closure was installed for resurfacing, white lining and stud replacement.  The equipment to be installed consisted of 1 Checkpoint (Orange Unit) to be moved down the site, dictated by the site manager as the site location moved every night. The access points (2 Red Units) were located at junction 7 entry slip and also a farm access as well as 3 yellow units,  which were used for side road-blocks. We also had on site 3 blue contractor units, all units were deployed overnight.

“We received a phone call from the TMF advising that two stray vehicles had entered the site. The first vehicle had pulled up at the main gate and said he needed to get to the hospital at junction 6, when they got close to junction 6 he sped off before coming to a halt at the check point and  was then removed from site. The second vehicle ran the access point triggering the Intellicone system and sped down the closure. When he got to the check point he mounted the grass and carried on towards the workers, as this happened the Operative on the checkpoint triggered his panic alarm, thus setting of the contractors Intellicone Alarm alerting the workforce to the oncoming danger”
