National Highways teams and Costain to attend Plantworx 2023

Plantworx is delighted to announce further National Highways and Costain's representation at Plantworx 2023, the UK's largest working construction event.

Key members from the National Highways' Connected and Autonomous Plant (CAP) team will attend the show each day, together with representatives from one of their CAP partners and renowned infrastructure solutions provider, Costain.

The team will comprise experienced professionals from diverse sectors, with a focus on procurement and innovations. National Highways has said it looks forward to exploring the latest advancements in construction technology and connecting with other industry leaders to drive forward its mission of delivering reliable, safe roads now and developing the roads of the future.

National Highways is eager to engage with exhibitors and is encouraging organisations to extend an invitation for the team to visit their stand. This provides an excellent opportunity to showcase any new technologies or innovative solutions that could enhance the performance and efficiency of the UK's highways.

In addition, members of National Highways’ road safety team will be hosting a stand at the event offering advice, guidance and some reminders about such issues as load security and ensuring that all loads, whatever their size, are safely transported on the road network. National Highways has committed to reducing the number of people killed or seriously injured while working or travelling on the strategic road network by 50% by 2025 with a long-term ambition for zero harm.

Conquip Engineering Group invites you to celebrate two decades of Innovation at Plantworx 2023

Conquip invites you to join them at Plantworx 2023, where they will showcase their range of products and celebrate 20 years of pioneering innovation in the construction industry. Located on stand DQ-.4, in the Awesome Earthmovers Operators Challenge area, Conquip's stand offers a one-stop solution for elevating productivity, enhancing sustainability, and boosting safety.

At their stand, visitors can see Conquip's gear being put to the test by top operators in the operator challenge area, located just opposite. This provides an opportunity to experience the power of Conquip attachments firsthand. Additionally, guests can visit their stand for a friendly chat. Over a cup of coffee, the Conquip team will talk visitors through the solutions they offer.

Among the featured solutions are the Excavator Bucket Box, the Fuel Eco-Hub, and the Drag Skip. These innovative products have the potential to transform work processes by improving productivity, sustainability, and safety. For instance, the Fuel Eco-Hub has been instrumental in helping major contractors effectively manage fuel usage and prevent theft since the legislative change regarding 'red diesel' and the subsequent rise in energy costs. Interested individuals can drop by the stand to receive a demonstration from the Conquip team and learn how other companies are utilising this solution to reduce expenses.

Conquip also offer original equipment manufacturer (OEM) aftersales services directly to end-users. Additionally, their unique product innovation program incorporates customer insights to develop the next big thing in construction.

Conquip has recently expanded across the UK, with new operational hubs in Teesside, Thetford, Norfolk, and Taunton, complementing their established centres in Alton and Stoke-on-Trent. This expanded network ensures a more localised service for customers, allowing for convenient support and assistance.
