Our fleet of Articulated Dump Trucks (ADTs) are now crossing the Small Dean Viaduct👇🎥. They are moving materials between compounds, replacing the conveyor belt system that previously spanned the A413 and Chilterns Railway line below.
The crossing is managed by a traffic light system, with one ADT passing at a time and physical barriers in place to protect the road and railway underneath from rubble and dust. Decommissioning the conveyor belt and returning to traditional haulage methods is helping the team work efficiently.
