THE CHALLENGE

A New Contract.
No Existing Fleet.

A highways maintenance contractor had secured a significant motorway maintenance contract on the M62 corridor, covering overnight carriageway works, pothole remediation and lane-closure operations across a multi-year programme.

The contract required eight fully equipped traffic management vehicles on-site before works could commence. The client had no existing TM fleet and a twelve-week window from contract award to mobilisation.

Challenge 1
Eight identical, fully compliant TM vehicles required within a strict twelve-week mobilisation window.
Challenge 2
Full Chapter 8 compliance required, including night works specification and high-intensity LED equipment.
Challenge 3
Crash cushion mount compatibility required across the entire fleet for motorway-standard lane closure operations.
Challenge 4
Client had no pre-existing TM vehicle procurement relationships or in-house specification expertise.

THE SOLUTION

Eight Vehicles.
Fully Managed.

Vanadam took on full procurement and conversion management from the initial briefing call. We established the specification with the client’s traffic management supervisor, confirmed the Chapter 8 requirements and identified the Iveco Daily 72C18 chassis cab as the right base vehicle for the operation — suitable for crash cushion mounting, with the GVW and load capacity required for a full TM fit-out.

We sourced eight matched units through our UK supplier network and simultaneously coordinated with two specialist TM conversion workshops to split the build programme and compress the timeline. A single Vanadam account manager oversaw every conversion, enforcing a consistent specification across all eight vehicles so the fleet would operate as a uniform, interchangeable unit.

All vehicles were delivered to the client’s compound in the M62 corridor region, with handover documentation, operator packs and compliance certification provided for each unit.
