OVERVIEW
The Thomas Nagy Ltd. team has been integral to the ongoing M4 Smart Motorway project, focusing on upgrading the supply cutout on the motorway’s lighting columns to improve lighting efficiency and road safety.
This major infrastructure initiative is designed to enhance the M4, one of the UK’s busiest motorways, by integrating smart technology that dynamically controls power usage to conserve energy without compromising road safety.
The project is executed under strict National Highways regulations, ensuring all works meet the highest safety and operational standards.
12-month project delivering critical smart motorway upgrades.
Upgraded over 40 lighting columns across the M4 Motorway.
CHALLENGES
Working on an active motorway involves logistical and safety complexities. The team was required to operate within tight lane closure schedules and closely coordinate with other contractors to minimise traffic disruptions and keep the project on track.
Our extensive experience in managing high-risk environments allowed us to overcome these challenges, ensuring that the project was completed safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with industry standards.
Smart technology improves efficiency by up to 30%.
Fully compliant with National Highways safety standards.
RESULTS
The ongoing upgrades are set to significantly improve the overall motorway experience for thousands of drivers. With the introduction of smart technology, the project allows for real-time management of lighting systems, resulting in substantial energy savings, enhanced road safety, and better traffic flow.
The upgrades are expected to contribute to reduced congestion, enhanced journey reliability, and a more energy-efficient motorway network.
Worked within strict lane closure schedules to maintain traffic flow.
Completed with zero unplanned traffic disruptions.
