Reading Road, Wokingham

CHM Group was commissioned to provide traffic management services to support the removal of a hazardous dead tree adjacent to Reading Road in Wokingham. The tree presented a significant risk to road users, requiring immediate attention. Upon receiving the enquiry, CHM returned a quotation within 15 minutes, recognising the urgency of the request. Within 48 hours, the team was mobilised and on-site with an approved permit to provide a safe environment for the removal works.

CHM Group worked closely with Wokingham Borough Council and the client to obtain necessary permissions and permits as quickly as possible. Given the urgent nature of the works, careful coordination and communication ensured a rapid response while maintaining compliance with local authority requirements.

The works were carried out during the daytime, outside of peak traffic hours, to minimise disruption to the local network. Environmentally friendly Oxford Plastics Enduraframe 1500 signage was used throughout the setup. The CHM team maintained constant on-site supervision and proactive management to ensure smooth and efficient operations.

• Works completed safely and without incident.

• Rapid mobilisation ensured the hazardous tree was removed within 48 hours of the initial enquiry.

• Traffic flow was maintained effectively with minimal disruption to road users.

This project exemplifies CHM Group’s values of being people-powered, proactive, and reliable. By responding quickly and coordinating efficiently with stakeholders, CHM delivered a safe, effective solution to an urgent request while maintaining operational excellence.
