Zone Manager Example Configurations

Zone Manager provides benefits for small and large operations alike. From a small site with a single gate and a couple of unloading areas to a multi-project site with many gates, unloading areas and cranes.

Below are some examples of how Zone Manager has been used.

The LeadenHall Building

The Leadenhall Building in the City of London is a full demolition and reconstruction project. The site is in a busy area and is surrounded by roads on 3 sides. Access is via a single Gate at the rear. On site there is parking for 2 or 3 lorries.

Zone Manager is used by the logistics team. Bookings are entered onto a PC (laptop) by a logistics manager. A large screen display in the reception area shows the days bookings to everyone as they arrive on site.

St. Davids 2, Cardiff

St. Davids 2 is the largest private financial investment in Wales. The scheme builds on present assets including the existing St David’s Shopping Centre and much of the Hayes.

An off-site marshalling yard is used and vehicles are called into the city only when necessary.

The Zone Manager configuration consists of a small LAN in the main offices in Bute Terrace together with a remote display at the site entrance. The logistics team enter bookings onto the system and these are made visible to the project team via large screen displays in the project offices. The site entrance is some distance away and did not have LAN connectivity. The remote display was connected via a broadband internet connection.

Canary Wharf East

Canary Wharf are continuing the development of their site with further construction on the East side of the estate. The buildings on the site are managed by separate teams. Deliveries are received first at a lorry holding park.

Zone Manager is used by the all the logistics team. Bookings are entered via the web by suppliers themselves. Strict rules are maintained as to the duration of slots, how far in advance they can be made and the deadline for any changes. The logistics managers only deal with any conflicts and to prevent misuse. Vehicles are booked-in in real time at the lorry holding park entrance. Unscheduled deliveries are usually turned away. The contracts with their suppliers specify how they must use Zone Manager.
