Management
Plans (TMP)
Our large TTM Planning Team are all Waka Kotahi qualified and include experienced Level 2-3 STMS-NP with practical and theoretical knowledge of temporary traffic management.
A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is developed by a NZTA Qualified TTM Planner and describes all the co-ordinated measures that detail how a safe environment will be created for all road users while work or activity takes place on the roading corridor (road, footpath, or berm) to ensure everyone gets home safe everyday.
Coordinated Safety Measures
The TMP starts with how all road users (contractors, motorists, pedestrians) can safely use the road during the planned works. The Risk Assessment outlines all impacts, responsibilities, and mitigation management.
Some of the impacts include:
- PCBU Duty of care
- Type of work
- Plant and machinery involved
- Road category
- Environmental factors (multi-lane / traffic lights / schools / etc)
- Work duration (+1 day = arrange for overnight / unattended closures.
- Contingency planning
Traffic Management Diagram (TMD)
The TMD is the site-specific geometric drawing detailing the physical layout of the site, the temporary traffic management (TTM) equipment around the worksite using the risk assessment information.
A generic TMP may be used for work that is repetitive but must still be RCA approved for use with the TMP.
Compliance (Approvals)
Specific guidelines set by Waka Kotaki NZTA under the CoPTTM (Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management) and that align with local RCA’s underscore TTM. Compliance also includes:
- Approvals for bus stops or restricted parking removal if affected by work or activity
- Authorisation to work around permanent traffic signals
- Barrier Designs (if required)
- Road Closure notifications
The TMP Documentation
The TMP is used by many audiences, so it includes all the components of all aspects, impacts, mitigating factors and considerations:
- Project overview and description
- Environment and Risk Assessment
- Contingency Plan
- TMP reference
- Contacts & PCBU’s
- TTM & TMD (Implementation)
- Notification process
- Maintenance (monitor & assurance)
- Uplifting of the temporary traffic management (TTM)
TMP Design, Approval
and Management
Our powerful Traffic Management Plan software helps us provide you with ‘no fuss’ site-specific TMP applications, even for complex sites. We can also utilize comprehensive pre-approved generic TMP’s to reduce planning costs and increase efficiency.
Design & Planning
Our TTM Planner’s can prepare and submit comprehensive TMP’s extremely fast, using our unique state-of-the-art software, and our highly efficient purpose-built vehicles, we can deploy and retrieve sites very quickly.
Council Approvals
We’re experts in creating Traffic Management Plans (TMP), and manage the approvals process with Regional Councils and transport organisations.
On Site Management
Efficiently communicating warnings and directions to motorists so everyone can navigate the disruptions safely. We work closely with your Project Managers to establish and understand all required activities.
Any work that alters the normal operating conditions of any part of the road corridor requires a Traffic Management Plan. You need a TMP if you are:
- Excavating the roadway
- Temporary road closure for an event or obstruction of footpaths e.g. for signwriting, window cleaning, painting
- Arborist or Forestry Contractor
- Roading Construction Contractor
- Civil Project Manager
- Construction Engineer
- Emergency response teams
- Private residential projects
Emergency works such as burst water lines, gas leaks, electricity, telecommunications faults and tree clearing, are urgent and prior approval from local council/s is not required.
Your work could affect road useage if you are one of the following:
- Arborist or Forestry contractor
- Roading Contractor
- Civil Project Manager
- Construction Engineer
- Emergency response teams
- Private residential projects
Yes! As experts in creating TMP's, you are in good hands. Collate your Traffic Management Plan details including work location, work dates, work activity, work contractor/s and provider/s into our easy form.
