Tended

“Tended allows us to see easily where machines and work parties are on track. The line of route we cover is quite significant and this provides a visual aid to the Engineering Supervisor to understand where people are during the course of the possession. As part of TRU’s 11 billion pound programme to deliver upgrades, this helps ensure we protect our staff.”

“At the start of a possession, the ES might need to arrange multiple boards. In our section, that could be up to six boards, and it could take teams on site 20 to 30 minutes to set up. With the virtual worksite marker board, the ES does it at the click of a button, and it’s done instantly. That’s potentially an hour extra to do the work.”

“Before you would have had to go and find the mileage of where the worksite marker board needed to go. It can get confusing especially if you’re new to the area or walking out at night, things can look completely different. With virtual boards, you are not going out there and potentially going on the wrong track, which to me is priceless, really.”

““I can see this system being very useful for us when we’re setting out our marker boards. It gives us good data on the back end of how accurately we’re placing these boards out when we’re out onsite.“It’s a very good system. The guys have been really, really impressed with it over the time that it’s been in use here and it’s certainly something that we’ll be looking to develop going forward.””

““Introducing VWSMB into a T3 environment demonstrates that virtual boundaries can safely replace traditional physical protection systems... The additional time we gain also increases productivity onsite. This translates into significant time recovery, cost savings, and strengthening compliance within worksite limits. Given the improvements in safety, efficiency, and possession reliability, returning to physical boards would feel like a step backwards.””

“We’ve been using Tended’s geotagging system which has helped enhance our safety onsite by increasing the accuracy of placing critical protection equipment. We’ve been able to replace outdated, inaccurate software and streamline our operations onsite whilst making sure our teams can place boards safely and with confidence that they are in the right place.”

“This was one of the most complex blockade environments we’ve supported. With possession limits changing daily, geofencing gave both the workforce and site leadership real-time assurance that access was being controlled correctly. It allowed the project team to adapt safely to change while keeping the programme moving.”

“The geofencing technology deployed during the Cambridge South Infrastructure Enhancement blockade greatly enhanced safety and operational efficiency. RSS Infrastructure’s expertise ensured seamless integration, providing real-time visibility that streamlined our processes and helped us meet critical milestones. We look forward to further collaboration with RSSI.”

“We look forward to continuing to see the positive impact of the technology across work functions and our operational efficiency. We’re proud to say that this deployment is in line with our commitment to innovation and safety improvements, and we’re excited to see the difference across our business.”

“Following the success of the geofencing trials over the past 6 months, we are very excited to be rolling out the technology on a national level. Having worked alongside Tended throughout our previous deployments, we have been impressed with their approach to innovation and willingness to explore new ideas.”

“Through our recent trial of Tended’s geofencing technology, we have been able to see firsthand the potential benefits that such solutions can bring to the Western route in enhancing workforce safety and operational effectiveness. We value the positive engagement we have had with Tended and look forward to continuing to work alongside them as we explore this and other technologies to set higher standards for safety across the Western Route.”

“This collaboration with Tended has successfully met the objectives set out for the project, demonstrating the reliability and effectiveness of Tended’s geofencing technology for improving worksite safety and operational efficiency. The ability to precisely track and verify worksite activities has provided valuable insights, enhancing the way we manage worksites across the North and East Route. Following these positive results, we will now explore the scalability of this technology across the wider route to further support safe and efficient rail operations.”

“I don't even think about it, I put it on and get on with my work”

“I stepped back when I was doing a briefing and the alarm went off, I wouldn't have known otherwise”

“Tended has provided additional peace of mind in these situations, letting workers know instantly if they were to leave safe working areas, helping to prevent anyone approaching an open line. We’ve been impressed with the accuracy of Tended’s technology and how our teams have responded to it, buying into its ability to help keep them safe.”

“Using Tended’s geofencing technology has enabled us to provide additional protection for our trackside teams when working alongside adjacent open lines. If we are working next to lines with trains travelling at high speeds without any barriers or fencing, we need to be confident in the safety systems we have in place.”

““At Ground Control, the safety of our teams is our top priority, especially when they are working in high-risk environments and near railways. By implementing Tended’s geofencing technology, we’ve been able to get a better overview of the location of our plant and equipment to improve worksite safety and reduce risks for our workforce. Thanks to Tended’s support throughout the project, the system has also seamlessly integrated with our existing safety protocols, allowing us to implement the technology with ease.””
