Temporary works supplier Mabey Hire has announced it’s exhibiting at Highways UK 2024, showcasing its structural monitoring capabilities, standard solutions and EVE immersive design software.
Visitors to the Mabey Hire stand (329A) will have the opportunity to learn about its structural and environmental monitoring solutions. Providing contractors and asset owners with up-to-the-minute data about the condition and behaviour of their assets, the data can be used to assist with preventative maintenance, proactive monitoring and improving workforce safety on site. With a full set of solutions for all monitoring situations, including motorway settlement and bridge structural health, the real-time data is made instantly visible in Mabey Hire’s unique web portal.
With over 60 years of engineering expertise, Mabey Hire has supported customers in the delivery of thousands of projects across the UK’s road and rail infrastructure with its full-service offering – including the bespoke design, supply, installation and monitoring of temporary works solutions.
Mabey Hire will also be promoting its comprehensive range of temporary works solutions, including its propping and jacking equipment, often used to facilitate bridge deck lifts whilst maintenance to internal, difficult-to-reach parts is carried out. As well as bespoke, large-scale temporary works schemes, Mabey Hire offers its standard solutions, designed to provide contractors with fast, simple access to pre-engineered designs for low-risk groundworks excavations, including manhole braces, trench boxes and shields, and trench crossing units.
In addition, Mabey Hire will be showcasing its digital engineering expertise through EVE, its intuitive immersive design technology that allows users to explore an interactive temporary works design in its entirety.
Speaking about the exhibition, John Wrigley, Mabey Hire’s Business Development Manager for Highways said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be attending Highways UK, with this year marking our first time at the show – and look forward to discussing the value of temporary works with visitors. Road networks form a key part of our country’s infrastructure, meaning keeping them running is paramount and proactive maintenance is key. At the heart of this mission is high-quality data, with asset information feeding into and informing future maintenance cycles.
“Our monitoring solutions can be used in many ways to provide assurances and enable proactive or preventative maintenance plans to be put in place, while our comprehensive portfolio of temporary works solutions can support in the delivery of any required works. We’re committed to providing the right support at any stage of the project, from pre-tender and design through to installation and emergency responses.”

Working closely with other members to improve productivity, quality, sustainability and safety, Mabey Hire is best placed to address National Highways’ aim of saving 10% through efficiencies and reducing error on site and at the design stage.
