Balfour Beatty Living Places has launched two new Operational Control Hubs on its contracts with Lincolnshire County Council and East Sussex County Council. These state-of-the-art hubs use innovative technologies and systems developed in-house by Balfour Beatty to provide real-time visibility and drive efficiencies across the local road networks. The hubs serve as control rooms, allowing operational teams to prioritize work based on vehicle location and crew availability, capture task completion, and intervene as necessary to keep activities on track. By integrating live data from multiple systems, the hubs enable swift reactions to network issues and facilitate effective planning of reactive and emergency works. The opening of these hubs builds on the success of Balfour Beatty's first facilities in Herefordshire and Southampton, which have seen increased productivity and reduced task completion times since their launch. Steve Helliwell, Managing Director of Balfour Beatty Living Places, highlighted the company's investment in digital technologies and the use of real-time information to drive sustainable outcomes and reduce carbon emissions. Councillor Richard Davies of Lincolnshire County Council expressed optimism about the potential for a more cohesive overview of works across the road network, while Councillor Claire Dowling of East Sussex County Council praised the hubs for enabling proactive responses to issues and minimizing disruption to the public.
