Cyngor Gwynedd, in collaboration with their in-house engineering consultancy YGC and principal contractor Jones Bros, faced significant infrastructure challenges on a local road improvement scheme in a rural part of Gwynedd. The project required a sustainable and structurally sound solution in an area with challenging ground conditions and limited working space.

Smartraft® was brought into the project to provide an innovative modular highways foundation and vehicle restraint system support system that could overcome key design constraints.

Project Outcomes

• Reduced Environmental Impact: Avoided deep ground works and preserved surrounding vegetation and habitats.
• Programme Efficiency: Project was delivered on schedule with minimal disruption to local traffic and residents.
• Project Savings: Avoided costly service diversions and major excavation, providing budget certainty to the local authority Cyngor Gwynedd.
• Durability: Provided a long-lasting modular highways solution & VRS system with excellent resilience to ground movement and load pressures.

“The integration of Smartraft® into our scheme allowed us to overcome several complex engineering challenges efficiently. Its versatility and rapid deployment made it an ideal solution for a rural infrastructure project with so many constraints.”
