Lattice Build Technology

Street lighting installation scheme at A316

TKJV utilized Lattice for a project installing over 100 lamp posts and signage along a 1-kilometer stretch in Twickenham, UK. Leveraging Lattice’s map-based platform, the project transitioned to a fully paperless system, enhancing efficiency and productivity. By eliminating the need for daily site visits and simplifying document management, Lattice enabled remote supervision and streamlined reporting. The platform’s features allowed for quick progress reporting and provided a comprehensive project overview through an analytics dashboard. Additionally, Lattice’s digital approach reduced paper use and carbon emissions, showcasing its effectiveness for large-scale, multi-location asset management projects.

M6 toll road toll collection system upgrade

The solution delivered by SICE for MEL, saved on the four primary cost types of all infrastructure projects: 1. Health and safety, 2. Environment, 3. Financial, 4. Reputational. and the details were bottomed out during competitive dialogue when no contract was in place demonstrating a collaborative approach particularly from SICE. This level of collaboration and client satisfaction is seldom seen in the construction industry and was wholly reliant on the technology utilised and proposed by SICE particularly due to the flexibility of the technological solution developed for the control system by SICE. As a result, an antiquated "toll booth, card pay and DSRC, single charge (based on vehicle category)" tolling system was transformed into a “free flow trip based charge by quantity and classification” system utilising existing infrastructure and reduced size super structures to deliver the client's requirements within the budget available.
