Why use a specialist management company like RNCE?
Traffic management, traffic planning and traffic control is far more sophisticated than it once was. Codes of Practice and Irish Legislation continue to raise not only awareness but considerations for safe implementation of traffic management, traffic planning and traffic control on work sites.
Richard Nolan CE as a nationally recognised provider of traffic management, traffic planning and traffic control and prides itself on exceeding the Codes and Standards that govern our industry. With “Safely Managing Risk” as our primary objective to our client and as importantly the delivery and management of our service, this is why Richard Nolan CE should be your #1 choice.
Traffic management and traffic planning implemented by traffic controllers previously held the stereotype of workers with little else to do. Not only is this unfounded but dangerously mislead as the actual risk minimisation that Richard Nolan CE provides keeps all road users safe.
Implementing any safe traffic management, traffic planning and traffic control scheme requires qualification and experience. From the initial traffic management planning through to the provision of traffic control, wrong advice or implementation can you leave you significantly exposed. This can be through fines, job shutdowns by authorities and significant penalties should your business find itself in litigation.

Councils and roads authorities require professionally prepared traffic management plans (TMP). These plans are normally required before the council or national road authority issue assessments and permits to work on the road (authorities across Ireland can vary in their requirements).
