The majority of Construction Projects are typically restricted for space, with
limited vehicle movements or available handling equipment.

This makes Materials Management and Handling one of the most crucial aspects to the smooth running and management of a construction project.

Working with the Main Contractor, Alandale produce a project materials handling strategy, that will begin by looking at the project specific constraints, surrounding environment, and from this produce a documented procedure that will provide an agreed system of work (as a communication tool and for all contractors to follow).

The strategy will document how all deliveries and materials movements will be set down, off-loaded, distributed and stored (with associated responsibilities for each area of the documented procedure).

Our web-based delivery management system (ADBM) not only provides for the effective management of deliveries to site, but also co-ordinates the distribution of materials within the site.

We therefore utilise ADBM to not only fully control all requested vehicle deliveries, but to also control the material's journey once off-loaded to it's final destination within the project (and typically this is to within 3 metres of the installation).

Our Logistics Team and Construction Management Team also work closely together to review the projects major deliveries to ensure that not only can we accept the delivery, but that there is sufficient space to store it where it will be used.
