An Introduction from our MD

Over the past six months, Dyer & Butler has continued to strengthen our position within the transport sector, focusing principally on aviation, rail and highways. This growth has accompanied our established and ongoing works where time-sensitive and safety-critical projects demand our experience and expertise. The operational reorganisation into 4 distinct divisions – Aviation, Rail, North and Southern is now complete, with the exception of the transition of some existing Network Rail business into the Rail Division, which will be completed in early 2019. This reorganisation, which many of our customers will have been aware of, has increased our presence in our key markets.

The acquisition of M Group Services Ltd by PAI Partners, a new long-term investor, was completed in August. PAI is a major investor in businesses across Europe, providing financial and strategic support to pursue their development. This acquisition does not involve any change of ownership of the

businesses within M Group Services and does not change the day to day operations of Dyer & Butler.

As our core value suggests, “Safety is at the heart of everything that we do” and as a result of our drive to achieve exemplary standards of safety across our business, in February this year we achieved a zero accident frequency rate. This is not the first time Dyer & Butler has achieved a zero accident frequency rate (AFR). This achievement represents a total of 2.8 million man-hours of work and 18 months with no reported accidents. A truly exemplary performance.

Obtaining this level of operational safety performance is hard work and it has only been gained through the hard work and dedication of our employees at all levels within the Company. It is worth remembering that not only do these statistics show how effective our safety culture is, it also means that less people have been affected by our activities in terms of accident, injury and illness and it is this fact that underlies the true meaning of our achievement. Being “Safe by Choice…not by chance” will remain at the heart of our safety culture as our business grows and this will be a constant reminder to us that we cannot afford to become

complacent. We must stay focused on making safe choices to ensure that unsafe acts and conditions do not go unchallenged.

We will also seek to build on our recent successes by putting in place a plan to maintain our business at the level of performance that has been achieved. We will continue to build a more resilient, sustainable business that not only looks after its people, but the environment and societies that we work in.

For this reason, we will continue to invest in the training and development of our employees and ensure that we offer the very best career opportunities to apprentices and those from underrepresented groups, such as ex-offenders and ex-military personnel. By working to maintain a sustainable business, which promotes social value within our communities, we continue to ensure that Dyer & Butler remains a thriving and successful business.

Finally, my fellow Directors and I would like to thank you for your efforts to help us achieve the levels of safety that we are continually proud of and the hard work undertaken across the business to strengthen our position in Dyer & Butler’s key markets.

With the recent vote by the House of Commons in favour of the expansion of London Heathrow, Dyer & Butler’s Aviation team at Heathrow are gearing up to bring even more innovative projects to HAL. This follows on from two recent projects that each deliver cost savings, taxiway and stand improvements to operational down time when repairs are in progress.

We have also increased our technical plant to facilitate self-delivery of projects requiring underground service mapping. Through our sister company, Dyer & Butler Electrical, our airports M&E team are sourcing and installing electrical products that are increasingly environmentally friendly, working towards the goals HAL have of sustainability.

Innovative products and services have included:

• RhinophaltTM trial at Heathrow Airport; cold spray solvent based asphalt (underway)

• Fast curing concrete trial at Heathrow Airport (underway)

• Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

Heathrow innovation partner

There are very few places like airports, located in urban environments where ground space has such a high demand. This is particularly the case for Heathrow, where a fast turnaround of aircraft on the ground is essential for many of the carriers using the airport. Repairs and the replacement of aircraft stands, which can take them out of service whilst concrete hardens, is therefore far from ideal.

Historically, the stands at Heathrow were constructed using PQ concrete. This gives a life expectancy of more than 20 years, but curing time can restrict aircraft usage of the stand for several weeks. Working closely with the airport, Dyer & Butler wanted to offer Heathrow an alternative product to PQ concrete that would have a fast cure and importantly, offer the same life expectancy as PQ concrete. After undertaking some detailed product research and reviews of what high specification

concrete was being used outside of the UK for similar applications, Dyer & Butler settled on an established and proven specialist concrete mix.

To support our proposals, we undertook initial site product testing, in 2017, of two new concrete mixes to establish both curing and trafficable times. As we had hoped, the mixes performed exactly as the manufacturers had specified.

As a result of our initial trials, we then undertook a trial in an airside environment over a six hour possession period in March 2018.

The trial required Dyer & Butler to break out an existing 6x6m bay with a depth of 450mm and re-lay with the new specialist concrete mixes. The concrete pour took place during the night possession, with air temperatures varying between 4 to 5 degrees. We found the bays to be trafficable within three hours of the pour and at full strength within 24 hours.

Following on from this, we have undertaken more composite and structural testing of the bays, which has met the technical and performance standards required by Heathrow Airport.

Many of the projects Dyer & Butler undertakes require knowledge of the project's site, underground services and obstructions that could pose health and safety risks and hinder progress.

We frequently encounter locations where previous mapping is either sketchy or non-existent. In any event, uncharted services can potentially extend both programme delivery and project costs.

In the past, Dyer & Butler has successfully used specialist external operators with Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) equipment.

However, in taking this option, there can be time delays after instructions are issued, before GPR surveying and familiarity of the target location and working environment can take place. For HAL, any delay in project delivery can affect a range of wider projects.

With this in mind, Dyer & Butler has invested in an IDS Stream C GPR to help complete PAS 128 surveys.

The new survey equipment has been added to the existing plant portfolio used by our Survey department. With the arrival of the

new DS Stream C GPR equipment, our survey team have undertaken specialist training in its operation to ensure we take full advantage of the information the GPR equipment will provide. All of the surveyors that will be using the new equipment are fully qualified and hold all of the required passes, for both Airside & Landside projects at London Heathrow and London Gatwick.

This will enable Dyer & Butler to undertake PAS 128 surveys for our aviation customers, along with those outside of the airport environment.

Going electric at HeathrowOne of the key sustainable growth strategies for Heathrow Airport is to make all of its cars and small vans electric or plug-in hybrids by 2020. To facilitate this, Heathrow are in the process of increasing the airside number of charging points to support the growing number EVS.

As part of the plan, a joint project to install electric vehicle charging points at Buildings 217, 671 and 218 in the Engineering Compound was undertaken by Dyer & Butler and Dyer & Butler Electrical.

The project required multiple power outlet options to meet with the

various needs of hybrid plug-in and pure electric vehicles likely to be used at the airport:

• Building 671; eVolt EV-WBM single outlet wall mounted charging points;

• Buildings 217 and 218; eVolt EV-WB2M-PED2 dual outlet charging units mounted on stainless steel pedestals.

To limit disruption caused to the occupants of Buildings 217, 671 and 218 during the project, our Airports team liaised with the relevant stakeholders to keep them advised of progress and time frames.

Additionally, all electrical works involving distribution board shutdowns were carried out during night shifts, to ensure that there was minimal disruption to the operations within the buildings.

During the project, our Airports team identified an opportunity to carry out minor maintenance works to the road markings while we were present on site. As a result, we were able to provide a saving for HAL by eliminating the need for the work to be carried out at a later date.

Currently, aviation fuel is delivered by rail three times a week to a dedicated fuel depot/station and then transported onwards to Heathrow Airport via underground pipelines. With the increasing demand for aviation fuel, Heathrow decided that an increase in the number of fuel wagons per delivery

was a better option than running more weekly rail deliveries.

Working as contractors to the British Pipe Line Agency, Dyer & Butler is undertaking the work at the rail fuel station to increase the length of the station sidings to accommodate an additional five wagons.

Starting on the 6 August 2018, site work will be undertaken by Dyer & Butler engineers over a six day week, plus night shifts, with a programme delivery date of 13 September 2018. The project includes earthworks, sheet piling, drainage and concrete works.

Following on from the construction of the new Crowne Plaza at Terminal 4, Dyer & Butler and Morrison Utility Services have jointly completed a project to install new mains potable water supplies for both the Hilton Hotel and the new Crowne Plaza*. The four star Hilton Hotel opened in 1990, has 398 guest rooms and shares a covered walkway with the 300 room four star Crowne Plaza, which will open shortly.

The project fell under Affinity Water’s framework agreement with Morrison Utility Services and London Heathrow Airport’s

framework agreement with Dyer & Butler for civil engineering. The project gave each an opportunity to work together and jointly deliver a successful project.

The works involved the installation of 434m of potable main, associated bends, tees, valves and hydrants, along with connections to existing infrastructure, backfilling and reinstatement.

As with many projects of this kind, we encountered multiple unchartered services that required a careful working process to protect the various services laid

in the ground. On the successful completion of the project, we identified and provided Heathrow Airport with the details of the services for mapping.

Despite many challenges, including encountering multiple unchartered services, the works were completed without incident.

*The new Crowne Plaza development was shared with Holiday Inn Express and constructed by Grove Developments, the construction division of the Arora Group.

During the early part of June 2018, external auditors visited our offices and facilities at Heathrow Airport and assessed our processes and practices for re-certification against the ISO 9001 Quality, and ISO

14001 Environmental standards.

During the auditors visit they also completed a surveillance audit for the OHSAS 18001 Health & Safety standard.

As hoped and expected, following on from the submissions and completion of the audit, Dyer & Butler passed all three with no non-conformities identified.

ISO reassessments undertaken at Dyer & Butler Heathrow

On Thursday, 7 June 2018, Team Heathrow held their annual Health & Safety Awards at The Hilton London Heathrow Hotel. The event is designed to recognise the work being undertaken to ensure health & safety is always at the forefront of everyone’s mind.

During the event, Dyer & Butler’s Mark Bye won the “Heathrow Health & Safety Colleague of the Year” award.

Mark has been acknowledged by Heathrow as an individual who has shown an exemplary approach to

health & safety and is a genuine ‘safety leader’ and role model.

At the same event, Dyer & Butler was also shortlisted as finalists in the “Working Together to Improve Health & Safety” and “Individual Health & Safety" awards.

Women in engineering and construction

Dyer & Butler actively encourages and works to foster an inclusive environment, helping everyone fulfil their potential and succeed in their career development.

As a result, we already employ women in virtually every part of the business, from management down to site operatives. At Heathrow in particular, we actively participate with the Heathrow Academy to encourage women to enter the engineering and construction profession.

International Women’s Day at the Heathrow Academy In June, Heathrow put on an

event to celebrate International Women in Engineering Day. The day involved bringing in girls from local schools and universities to inspire and inform them about the opportunities available for women looking to pursue a career in the STEM fields.

The girls attended a range of events, including hearing talks from women who work at Heathrow and have successful careers in the STEM departments. A Q&A session was held with ladies who have started

their careers more recently; they spoke about their pathways into engineering and a site visit was arranged to show the students construction at Heathrow in action.

Dyer & Butler showed their support by sending female representatives from the company to participate at the Q&A event. They accompanied the students to the other events during the day and answered their questions; speaking about the work we do in construction at Heathrow.

The opportunity to relax and get to know fellow colleagues can often be missed due to the pressures of day to day workloads. So, on Saturday, 23 June, 17 members of Dyer & Butler and Dyer & Butler Electrical staff from Heathrow

joined together for a day of paintball madness.

Apart from the aches and pains from running around, ducking and receiving multiple paintball hits, great fun was had by all.

The day achieved exactly what was hoped for; giving members of staff who work at the same locations, but whose paths seldom cross during daily work, the opportunity to meet and get to know each other.

Across the business, Dyer & Butler routinely takes in students looking for annual placements, prior to their return to university, in order to continue with their education. This was the case for Scott Rose, a student with a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemical Engineering.

We recently interviewed Scott to find out why he chose a civil engineering placement over chemical engineering and how he viewed his time with Dyer & Butler.

Q. What made you choose Dyer & Butler, a civil engineering business over chemical engineering?

A. What was most appealing was that I am very interested in construction and airports and Dyer & Butler didn’t give me the impression that I would be one of a large group of placement students. I also felt there was a relationship to some parts of construction with chemical engineering.

Q. What have you been doing during your placement year?

A. After some initial training, I took on some responsibilities within the Dyer & Butler airports Reactive Maintenance team. This has

included day to day communication with Heathrow, monitoring fault repair and closing jobs once fully completed.

Q. What was the best part of the job?

A. The best part of the job was on nights, when I could get out on site and the site workers were fully active.

Q. If the opportunity arose would you re-join Dyer & Butler?

A. Yes. I didn’t feel like a placement student at any time, more like part of a permanent team.

On Sunday, 8 July, and 20 of Dyer & Butler's staff, clients and friends began living the legend of the Tour de France by taking part in the 2018 Etape du Tour. The gruelling 169-kilometre challenge takes 15,000 riders along the same route as Stage 10 of the 2018 Tour de

France in the Alps. The 28th edition of L’Etape takes place nine days before the pro peloton tackle the same roads on 17 July.

Passengers and those visiting departure and arrival lounges significantly benefit from the opportunity to rest in a relaxing and comfortable space. This applies to both fully able and disabled adults and children. In order to comply with the Equality Act (formally the Disability Discrimination Act), Gatwick Airport has invested in a new children’s sensory area at the North Terminal.

The new Sensory Magic and interactive lighting area has been designed to provide children with special needs a safe and relaxing area at the airport. The project, which is the first of its kind in a UK airport, required the installation of specialist equipment. This necessitated Dyer & Butler Electrical's project managers to engage with the equipment manufacturer and visit their factory. Apart from understanding how the new equipment would be used, Dyer & Butler Electrical's project team had to ensure that the final engineering solution fully complied with all of GAL’s installation and quality standards.

Working as principle contractor, Dyer & Butler Electrical had to decommission and strip out the existing services, partitions, ceilings and flooring. These were then reinstalled with strengthened walls to support the new play equipment.

Lighting was key to this project, requiring a new lighting and emergency lighting system. The newly installed lighting incorporated a ceiling-mounted colour changing system that interacts with touch-sensitive play equipment. An essential added feature was an extension of the fire alarm systems for smoke detectors and call points. Additionally, for those visiting the sensory areas, we also installed wall-mounted power outlets for touch equipment and upgraded the data and communication network to incorporate control door access.

The building services to support this area also required installing, which included the installation of a kitchen area and a mechanical HVAC system. This encompassed VRF cooling and roof-mounted condensers – these were all linked

to the new central controlled interface with the airport BMS system.

The working area was within the main passenger core. Ongoing collaboration with stakeholders was required to ensure that there was no disruption to Gatwick Airport’s passenger experience; this included working shifts outside of the peak hours. A two-weekly look ahead program was used to allow projects progress to flow quickly, with daily site visits arranged with the client.

Gatwick Pier 6 extension & A380 taxiway advanced survey workAs part of Dyer & Butler’s ongoing work at Gatwick Airport, we were awarded a contract for ground investigation and survey works, to enable design work to be completed for future projects at Gatwick; that included the doubling of Pier 6 in size and the construction of a realigned taxiway for A380 aircraft.

The survey covers an area of 175,000m2 and includes:

• Topographical• PAS 128• Tag & Trace• CCTV• Trial holes• Slit trenches• Boreholes to 20m• HWD and GPR Surveys.

Most of the survey, taking place over a period of 6 months, is being completed jointly between Dyer & Butler in-house surveyors and Dyer & Butler Electrical.

As a result of the scale of this project, detailed stakeholder engagement has been required to plan access and minimise impact on the aircraft movements and other airport users. Due to

extensive area of the apron that was required to be surveyed, the project was split into various areas to manage site access and minimise impact on airport users.

Works to all phases were carried out during day and night shifts.

The works undertaken involved various surveys, to enable a full PAS 128 type B survey to be generated. Once the survey data was available, work commenced on extensive and intrusive

investigative bore and trial holes.

This included trail pit, slit trenches, core hole and bore holes, but the main risk, as with all excavation and intrusive works, was the extensive quantity of underground services.

By following our Airport excavation procedure, we minimised this risk to Gatwick Airport and no services were damaged and no unchartered services found.


Rail

Implementing the needs of organisations, which operate in the public sector, to make their facilities easy to use by people of mixed abilities has presented ongoing challenges for rail operators across the UK.

Through various framework agreements and tendered awards, Dyer & Butler’s Rail Division has been working with Network Rail and rail franchise operators for station improvements to assist with ‘Access for All’.

These have included:

• Pembroke and Pembroke Dock station platform improvements and accessibility works for Network Rail, Arriva Trains Wales and Great Western Railway;

• Various station improvements, including improved access at Fareham for South West Trains;

• Chelmsford station pedestrian and wheelchair access improvements for Greater Anglia;

• Platform extensions and improvements at ten Overground stations for London Underground;

• Totnes station footbridge replacement and passenger lift installation for Network Rail (in this issue);

• Platform widening and lighting at St Erth station, Cornwall, for Great Western Railway (in this issue);

• Platform rebuild at Battlesbridge station, Essex. Build to address subsidence and improve platform usability for Greater Anglia.

Today, Dyer & Butler’s rail specialists are assisting customers with design, construction and M&E services across the south, central and western parts of the United Kingdom.

Disability access approach helping rail customers to give 'Access for All'

Since our appointment by GASHCo in 2017, Dyer & Butler have been working on various installations and upgrades of fuel pods and fuel hydrants at some of the airports stands. The project relates to the need for GAL to provide new connection points to service the wider range of aircraft operating out of Gatwick.

Dyer & Butler has been working for GASHCo at Gatwick for a number of years, carrying out repairs and new works to the fuel main. It is from this that Dyer & Butler has been awarded a host of contracts to remove/renew and upgrade the fuel pots on a number of stands, with the latest one being on Pier 4; stands 47 to 54.

The project has been split into three phases and commenced with Phase 1 being successfully completed at Gatwick’s Pier 4. This relates to the installation of eight new fuel pods and upgrades at stands 66 to 68.

The project started in November 2017 and was completed in June 2018, ahead of schedule. It involved the capping of 20 existing fuel pots, placing 20 new fuel pots and associated pipework, and the

replacement of 10 number hydrant heads and pots.

Phase 2, which is currently underway, relates to reconfiguring the fuel main under GASHCo’s control. This phase of the project involves Dyer & Butler removing and capping off six fuel hydrants, moving five fuel hydrants and installing five new hydrants on three stands.

These works were also carried out at the same time as the head of stand works by other contractors. They involved close coordination with regard to work interfaces and site set-up dismantling, to tie in with the programmed dates.

Safety and fuel critical processes

Jointly, with GASHCo, Dyer & Butler has developed a SSOW (Safe Systems of Work) process to prevent any issues with the live fuel main. The first objective was to accurately locate the fuel main depth, etc. and plan the best process to remove the concrete from around the fuel pots and over the main. At all times during our work the fuel main remained live, as shutting it down would also leave a further six stands without

fuelling capabilities.

With this objective achieved, we were safely able to remove PQ concrete from around the redundant fuel pots, saw-cut and break out through 400mm of PQ concrete to the new fuel pot positions.

Excavations vary, from 1.8m x 1.8m x 1.5m deep to 4m x 5m x 3m deep, requiring Dyer & Butler to manage the temporary works designs and undertake implementation of the shoring.

Dyer & Butler is also assisting GASHCo’s nominated welding contractor with the various permits to work at GAL, all in accordance with F10 CDM regulations.

Dyer & Butler Electrical has also assisted with these projects by setting up the temporary lighting requirements for night work.

On satisfactory completion of all three Phase’s of the pipework, Dyer & Butler has reinstated the areas to the standards required by GAL and provided Inspection Test Plans (ITPs), and as-built drawings for future reference.

As part of a £6.5M investment in the transport infrastructure of St Erth, Cornwall, Dyer & Butler has been awarded a contract by Great Western Railway (GWR) for improvements to the station.

These will include platform widening, track realignment, concourses and pavements within the station, along with drainage improvements, lighting and the adaptation of existing signalling to reflect the new track layout.

St Erth station is served by both the main line (Penzance to Paddington) and the branch line (St Erth to St Ives) train services. During the summer months, the station is extensively used by holiday makers – many of whom change from the main line service to the branch line serving St Ives.

The decision to increase platform capacity and circulation space

was a result of the infrastructure improvements at St Erth and GWR’s plans for the new five-car Class 150 passenger trains, which will bring additional passenger traffic to the station.

The contract award was given to Dyer & Butler as a result of our pre-planning of the tender submission, which gave two options in regards to the delivery of the work.

GWR chose Option 2, which related to the construction of the bay and Platform 3 in two phases.

This option meant that two-car trains could still operate on the St Ives branch line throughout the construction period, with the exception of a 54 hour possession in week 34. This eliminates the need to terminate the St Ives to St Erth trains on the main line Platform 2 during the construction

phase. This will also result in less disruption to the train operations and the costs involved with having a ‘shunter’ on standby in the event of a train breakdown on the main line.

As part of the project, Dyer & Butler is undertaking track reconfiguration. This includes the removal of the redundant track and regrading of the ballast, prior to the new track being re-laid for the new platforms. All designs for the track and platform layouts were produced by Dyer & Butler and submitted to Network Rail for approval, prior to any work commencing at St Erth station.

The planned completion of the project is scheduled for the early part of 2019, in advance of the anticipated increase in passenger traffic for Easter.

Rail Rail

For over a decade, Dyer & Butler has been working for Network Rail in Wales under various minor framework agreements and on tendered infrastructure projects. Site work in Wales has been routinely and successfully undertaken by directly employed engineers and project managers, working out of our Swansea Offices.

In July 2016, the Welsh Government published a Periodic Indicative Notice (PIN), indicating what construction opportunities may be forthcoming as a result of the proposed South Wales Metro programme. Further details were announced in 2017, under a new Sustainable Transport

Infrastructure Delivery Framework called STrIDe, with a potential of £600M worth of work being allocated over the next three years to contractors who meet the requirements of Transport for Wales.

With Dyer & Butler’s successful track record of on-programme and on-budget project completion, undertaken from our Swansea Office, we entered into a detailed and extensive pre-qualification process that required contractors to provide a fully integrated design and delivery service.

Following on from our submissions in the early part of 2018, Dyer &

Butler was chosen as an approved contractor for Transport for Wales. The multi-year contracts awarded to Dyer & Butler relate to minor framework agreements for rail and non-rail based civil engineering works and provide opportunities for future tendered infrastructure projects.

Forming part of a new Government Framework, Transport for Wales’s STrIDe is aimed at stimulating the Welsh economy. This, in turn, provides Dyer & Butler with opportunities to assist with civil engineering and rail projects, designed to help improve the public transport network in Wales.

Dyer & Butler has been awarded 4 four-year Civil Asset Management frameworks by Network Rail. Working alongside Network Rail to maintain and enhance the railway for over 20 years, we are pleased to have been awarded three civil asset management reactive and minor works frameworks in Sussex, Wessex and South-Wales, and the Wessex Civils Project framework.

The three reactive frameworks involve 24/7 on-call response services, delivering inspections, maintenance, repairs, and the

project framework focuses on planned project works on the existing Network Rail infrastructure. All four frameworks include bridges, structures, drainage, earthworks, tunnels, culverts, platforms and coastal / estuarial works.

A vigorous prequalification and tender process was undertaken during 2017, with the new contracts coming into effect from April 2018. Our exemplary health & safety performance and the experience and skills of our project

delivery teams in successfully delivering reactive works on our previous Minor Works contracts certainly helped the whole bidding process.

To support these framework contracts, Dyer & Butler maintains a dedicated Rail division, with fully competent and trained operatives and site engineers strategically based across the Network Rail routes. This allows us to respond to reactive requests within the required timescales.

Minor Frameworks agreement renewed with Network Rail

Won in open tendering, Dyer & Butler has recently been awarded a contract by Network Rail. This contract is for platform extensions and associated work at seven main line stations along the 86½ mile Cotswold Line, which runs between Oxford and Hereford. The project forms part of Network Rail’s Infrastructure Projects (IP) Railway Upgrade Plan, which includes platform extensions across the network to accommodate trains with additional carriages.

As a result of the high volume of traffic on the line, Dyer & Butler is working at night from August 2018 onwards, during the five hour period when trains are not running and during a blockade of the line between Hanborough and Pershore stations. This will occur over a seven week period, from October 29 to December 7 2018.

Due to the relatively short time frame for the project and the importance of keeping the line open for as long as possible, the decision was made to use MegaTech EPS modular expanded polystyrene platform systems over a traditional

construction route. By using MegaTech on this project it removes the need for piling and block work and, as a result, Dyer & Butler only has to undertake shallow digs to the level of the bottom depth of the sleepers. The result is that our ground preparation avoids the track zone of influence.

As a result of the need for M&E and telecom work in some areas of the project, Dyer & Butler Electrical and Magdalene (an M Group Services sister business) are undertaking the various cabling requirements at the relevant stations.

Environmental considerations Prior to any work being started, Dyer & Butler is undertaking ecology surveys at each of the stations to establish if any actions have to be taken to protect the organisms and species in the area of our work. This is an essential part of the project, as some of the stations have areas of wild flora and fauna present.

Community engagement Network Rail is holding informative community meetings, regarding this project, to discuss how it

will affect transport and any potential inconvenience to local residents and businesses during the construction period. Dyer & Butler will be participating in the meetings and also circulating written project details in the form of a letter drop to residents and businesses.

Network Rail platform extensions for Cotswold stations and collaborative work for M Group Services

During the latter part of last summer, Dyer & Butler was awarded a design and build scheme to provide a new £1.5M footbridge as part of the Totnes station ‘Access for All’ improvements for Network Rail.

Dyer & Butler’s job was to position the new footbridge away from the two listed buildings, which were located north of the station. The construction of the footbridge and stairs incorporated two external passenger lifts – one at either side of the bridge.

Although the bridge and stairs erection required additional work, including piling to support the stairs, project timeframes have still been achieved and July saw the two lifts being installed and tested.

Additional award Following on from our initial contract with Network Rail, Dyer & Butler was awarded additional work at Totnes station. The enlarged project includes 20m long platform extensions, reconfiguring of the external parking bays, and the installation of new CCTV equipment and LED lighting.

The platform extension is for a design and build project, requiring completion of the new bridge and station facilities in November 2018, in time for the public opening by a group of local dignitaries.

Our brief was to undertake the platform extension, avoiding extended rail possessions and line blockades. The solution we proposed was for a semi-traditional construction process, which utilises precast concrete walls and footings. With this approach, our engineers don’t have to wait days for freshly poured concrete to go off to gain its structural strength.

Our Design team had to come up with a solution that retained the 2.5m platform width, but to have it constructed on reduced foundations due to specific site conditions.

Community engagement For many years, Totnes station has been the home of a fish pond and garden visited and used by local residents. Unfortunately, this part of the station fell within the refurbishment area and concern was expressed for the long-standing residents of the pond. After the

project manager made contact with a local resident, they volunteered to safely remove all of the fish from the pond and rehome them temporarily in their own fish pond.

As the project progresses, Dyer & Butler engineers are re-landscaping the original fish pond and garden area to include an all-new fish pond. This will allow the much loved fish to return to the station.

Once the new bridge is complete and fully operational, our engineers will deconstruct and remove the original bridge from the site.

Road over rail bridge and community engagement with Dyer & ButlerFollowing months of rigorous planning, in collaboration with Network Rail, we successfully completed the works to lift the existing bridge deck at Crouch Hill, creating more space for the overhead lines as part of the Gospel Oak to Barking electrification programme. As well as doubling the current capacity for passengers on the Gospel Oak to Barking line, the electrified line and new four-carriage electric trains being introduced will also improve air quality for people who live and work near the railway.

To achieve the desired programme delivery dates, Dyer & Butler worked closely in collaboration with Network Rail and the two local authorities, Islington and Haringey. This was required due to the busy Crouch Hill main road being closed from mid-February to late April. The work undertaken required lifting the bridge deck and then jacking the bridge walls from the ground level, adjacent to the rail lines. Once the increase

in bridge wall height had been achieved, we lowered the deck and began to reinstate the affected roadways. The project was completed one week in advance of the programme delivery dates.

During the period when the bridge was closed to the public, Dyer & Butler constructed a temporary footbridge over the rail line to enable the public to access the station. Two nearby retired residents were having difficulty using the temporary inclined walkways that were in place whilst the bridge was closed, to assist them we provided a taxi booking service so they could use an alternative route.

Additionally, to avoid local disruption to services, Dyer & Butler also diverted all the utilities affected by the project, which included water, gas, power and telecommunications.

As a result of our communication with residents of an apartment block, during a residents’ meeting with Network Rail, it became clear that the residents had concerns about long-term access to the block’s private garages and parking. As the roadway reinstatement was underway, we proposed a cost-effective solution to address these concerns. Network Rail agreed to our proposals and we constructed a new entrance to the residents’ parking area. The resulting effect on the residents was one of delight, as they had been experiencing access problems for some considerable time.

As with many projects involving large roundabouts and carriageway widening, there is a risk of discovering uncharted services below the ground. This has been the case in Hampshire; on the A33 at Basingstoke, the Ringway, and Crockford and Great Binfields roundabouts. Dyer & Butler’s Civil Engineering Roads and Highways regional team have now completed

work on the Ringway roundabout and are due to complete work on the Crockford roundabout in August. The Great Binfields roundabout is currently in progress, with drainage and lighting re-designed, accompanied by service diversions leading to a revised forecast completion of October 2018.

Dyer & Butler's work has included:

• Widening the existing approach roads;

• Road widening works on the roundabouts;

• Installation of traffic signals on the roundabouts;

• Upgrading of existing pedestrian, cycle facilities and connections;

• Drainage works.

Awarded in late 2017, Dyer & Butler is now working on numerous additional areas within the Larkhill Garrison. One key area, called Purvis Lines, required surveying and clearance of any ordnance remaining on the ground from its previous use as a firing and training range. With this completed, Dyer & Butler continued to undertake the

groundworks, excavations, SuDS pond, foundations, external works and car park.

Purvis Lines, when completed, will provide three substantial heavy vehicle garages, a large workshop, three equipment/stores units, an additional, but smaller, garaging unit, and four office units.

The car park, when completed, will have a capacity for approximately 200 cars, with an overspill facility for 60 cars.

Dyer & Butler is expected to be working at the Larkhill Garrison for another two years.

Dyer & Butler’s Highways Southern Division has recently been awarded a contract for a combination of highway improvement works in the densely populated areas of Feltham and Hounslow. The award from Hounslow Highways is for the

construction of a series of retaining walls to widen Hounslow Road, alter the junction of Hanworth Road/High Street, and alter the junction of New Road/Hounslow Road. The project also provides access ramps into the train station as part of Network Rail's 'Access for All' programme.

The project includes the foundations for a new footbridge, provided by others, and strengthening works to widen the existing Longford River Bridge on Hounslow Road. Additionally, we will also be realigning 250m of the existing road and footpath, movement stats, resurfacing

of roads/footpaths and the installation of new street lighting.

Due to the close proximity of our work to neighbouring residents, Dyer & Butler will be using a silent press in the piling process that allows sheet piles to be installed with reduced noise and vibration.

Apart from the obvious benefits to residents, silent press-in piling offers opportunities for sheet piles to be installed close to buildings and boundaries, as typically found within this project.

Highways England is the government agency responsible for the motorways and major (trunk) roads in England. Safety forms a significant part of the agency’s responsibilities and accurate forecasting of local weather conditions is essential for traffic management, particularly during

the winter months. To help with this, Highways England has over 250 environmental sensor stations, providing real-time monitoring of road weather conditions and temperatures.

Dyer & Butler’s Highways Southern Division has successfully

completed two contracts for the base (slab), with associated ducting, fencing, access paths, and hard and soft landscaping. These are the first civil engineering projects to be procured through our highways framework with the Highways Agency in the West Country.

To achieve the high levels of safety and competency that we continually strive for, our internal training department has been growing in size, knowledge and skills.

Today, we have a dedicated team of six employees, delivering training across the company to

around 600 directly employed staff and permanent contractors. The team of five, plus a dedicated manager, is made up of four trainers operating from our Head Office in Nursling and one at our Heathrow office. The ongoing activity of our training department, as well as our commitment to specialist external

training where needed, is constantly growing and has generated some impressive numbers. Over the last financial year, (from April 2017 through to March 2018), we managed and delivered 4,066 training days, averaging 6.75 days per site operative.

Many of our customers will be aware of NSAR (National Skills Academy for Rail), which was established in 2010 to provide training services to the rail sector.

As a result, Dyer & Butler has been routinely using NSAR training services, both for our directly employed staff and permanent contractors who work on rail and rail associated projects.

With the increasing activity in our Rail Division and our decision to increase our internal training services, in February of this year Dyer & Butler was accredited with undertaking NSAR recognised

training and assessments. This training was with regards to trackside civil engineering works, safety and compliance with agreed practices. The accreditation related to us training our own directly employed staff and permanent contractors, and, as part of the accreditation, we have established an internal NSAR assessment centre. This allows for the first assessments to be undertaken during May 2018.

All rail competency training will be undertaken from our Head Office in Nursling and Regional Office in Exeter.

Safety is a primary goal for Dyer & Butler, with an absolute of having an industry-leading occupational Health & Safety performance.

To support this goal, for well over 10 years we have had an internal behavioural safety system known as DABBS (Dyer & Butler Behavioural Safety), which has been comprehensively used across the company. To augment and refresh this existing programme, our Training team have revisited

our behavioural safety programmes and updated our initial two-day behavioural safety course for our directly employed staff and permanent contractors. With the increase in training resource, we are now following up the two-day course with an additional one-day session for those who have attended. This is for a review and debrief of how the course has assisted with our workplace safety procedures.

In the last issue of Construction Matters, we announced the introduction of Dyer & Butler’s mental health awareness programme. The first part of the programme was a two-day course, which was completed towards the end of 2017 and it upskilled a number of key personnel to become

Mental Health First Aiders.

With the initial training undertaken successfully, our Mental Health First Aiders and Trainers started the awareness programme at Heathrow. The two and a half hour course, which was attended by up to nine directly employed staff

and permanent contractors, has been well received and generated positive feedback. As originally planned, we are now in the process of moving the training sessions to other parts of the organisation to help ensure the long-term physical and mental health of our workforce.

Dyer & Butler has always considered career development to be instrumental in maintaining a loyal and committed workforce. As a result, we actively seek out graduates and those looking for apprenticeships in order to build a career in civil engineering and construction.

Typically, we offer a small number of apprenticeships to individuals every year, where they are able to gain a trade skill. We also sponsor our apprentices to attend college, whilst gaining on-site experience with us, so as to acquire an NVQ (National Vocational Qualification).

We currently employ 28 apprentices throughout Dyer & Butler, undertaking apprenticeships in Civil Engineering & Groundworks, General Construction Operatives, Accountancy, Business Administration and Electrical Installation.

Building the future with apprenticeships

Dyer & Butler has recently been awarded accreditation by another long-standing and respected training provider; the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB). In this instance, our accreditation is for the training of directly employed staff and permanent contractors in the skills and safe working practices of working at height and using CAT & Genny equipment.

The internal CAT & Genny course is designed to train those Dyer & Butler operatives who are responsible for locating underground services and obstructions. This typically relates to groundworks, repair,

maintenance or new construction work adjacent to, or on any roadways, highways, taxiways or aircraft stands that form part, or all of a commissioned project.

In virtually every project Dyer & Butler undertakes, our employees and permanent contractors need to work at height. This includes both above and below ground environments, where a person could fall a distance likely to cause personal injury. Mandatory training for working at height has been in place at Dyer & Butler for well over a decade and has previously required external accreditation of operative training.

As part of our CITB accreditation, Dyer & Butler is now approved to undertake the training and accreditation of our directly employed staff and permanent contractors with regards to this commonplace risk.

Most of our customers operating in the South of England will be aware of FORS. Introduced by Transport for London, FORS is now becoming recognised across the UK for its standards and accreditations.

There are three accreditation standards: Bronze, Silver and Gold. All of the three FORS voluntary certification schemes are focused on supporting fleet operators in achieving exemplary levels of best practice in road safety, efficiency, and environmental protection. FORS standards cover four key areas: Management, Vehicles, Drivers and Operations.

As part of our ongoing commitment towards safety, in 2015, Dyer & Butler started a program for drivers to become more aware of the environments in which they drive. The programme was designed to improve driver safety and increase their consideration for other road users. A mandatory part of the programme is a cycle awareness course, which requires drivers to take to the road on a bike. The course is completed under

supervision and gives drivers of HGVs and vans an appreciation of how vulnerable cyclists are. In successfully completing this part of the accreditation, Dyer & Butler was awarded both FORS Bronze and Silver accreditations.

Additional to our other FORS requirements, Dyer & Butler has been undertaking a program which includes changing our fleet to more environmentally friendly vehicles, with an overall aim of reducing emissions. We have also fitted reverse cameras with cab monitors to our heavy goods vehicles, to help improve driver awareness and increase public safety.

Since our initial FORS accreditations as mentioned, Dyer & Butler has continued to undertake the annual training and management requirements of FORS. To make this happen, our Training, Health & Safety and Fleet departments worked together and, in 2018, Dyer & Butler was awarded a Gold accreditation to add to the reaccredited Bronze and Silver credentials.


M Group Services Plant & Fleet Solutions is trialling a new Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) from Ford.

Scheduled for volume production in 2019, the Transit Custom PHEV has an advanced hybrid system that targets a zero-emission range of 31 miles.

The technology enables the vehicle to be charged with mains electricity for zero-emission journeys, while the compact, fuel-efficient EcoBoost 1.0-litre petrol engine generates additional charge for on-board batteries when required.

The vehicle also features geofencing technology, which automatically modifies vehicle settings based on

the current location. This could be used, for example, to ensure the hybrid system is switched to electric-only mode when the vehicle enters an inner city low-emission zone. The vehicle’s wheels are driven exclusively by an electric motor, rather than by the combustion engine.

Road Risk & Green Fleet Manager Lee Matthews comments: “Ford is the first volume manufacturer to offer PHEV technology in this segment of the van market. The PHEV approach provides city-based, commercial vehicle operators with numerous benefits. In addition to the zero-emission capability of a targeted 31 miles, the vehicle uses petrol fuel for a target total range of more than 310

miles (500 kilometres). The PHEV also has an increased payload capacity, compared with battery-only electric vehicles, and the ability to offer quick, easy recharging from a standard electricity supply."

“To help understand the benefits, we are currently trialling the PHEV in London through Morrison Utility Services - one of a select group of companies to have this opportunity with Ford. We are using advanced telematics systems to collect real-time data on the van’s performance, which will generate data and learnings to help refine technologies and create the Ford PHEV Transit for fleets and customers of the future.”

Rope access solution deployed for Yorkshire Water pipe bridge repair

PMP Utilities (‘PMP’), a leading provider of asset refurbishment, renewal and repair services in hazardous, challenging environments, has successfully completed the rope access repair of a leaking air valve on Todmorden Pipe Bridge on behalf of Yorkshire Water.

PMP, a part of M Group Services, was appointed to deliver the rope access solution as an alternative to traditional access methods that would have required a scaffold platform to be built up from an adjoining canal towpath. Otherwise, the bridge would have had to be closed for several days.

Specialist access equipment, including a high directional rigging system, was used to enable access over the bridge without any stresses on the bridge structure itself. The access equipment was secured in place by twin lines, with an on-site PMP rope access supervisor managing the rigging to safely lower the engineer to the work site.

The process involved the removal of the cowl and isolation and removal of the air valve, which was then raised safely back up to the bridge before the replacement valve was fitted. Once the repair was completed, the cowl on the second air valve was removed and the isolation valve operated to enable assessment of its general condition. Both cowls were then replaced.

PMP Managing Director, Stephen Taylor commented: “Water leakage is a key driver for most water companies and the leaking air valve, located on a 12” cast potable water pipe on Todmorden Bridge, was an issue that Yorkshire Water was keen to address. The bridge crosses over the Rochdale Canal and more traditional means of access would have resulted in significant disruption."

“The repair was completed without the need for a network isolation, ensuring no impact to Yorkshire Water’s ‘Customer Minutes Lost’ measure. In addition, the short road closure meant that disruption was kept to an absolute minimum for members of the public using and living on the canal, as well as road users crossing the bridge.”

The benefits of this ‘Outside the Pipe’ thinking included:

• A quick response time and reduced lead time to access site;

• Reduced time on-site and impact on local residents and businesses;

• Reduced impact on the ‘canal community’ - walkers, cyclists, barge owners and anglers;

• A significant cost saving of approximately 25%;

• Significant leakage saving;• A safer option in comparison to

traditional methods.

PMP was acquired by M Group Services, in March 2018, to further enhance the range of complementary, specialist and essential infrastructure services that the Group’s businesses deliver to clients in the UK and Ireland.

PMP has worked within water companies’ assets throughout the UK and Ireland, providing confined space and rope access expertise, alongside rescue cover and the use of the AMEX-10 pipeline repair system.
