Streetworks Operative Units
The full operative unit range for anyone physically carrying out works in the public highway.
NRSWA units, renewals and reassessments delivered on your depot or at our Eastleigh facility — by trainers who have worked in the highway rather than only read about it. Keep your gang carded, compliant and on site.
If your team breaks ground in the public highway, the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 applies to them. KOPLANT delivers the full NRSWA operative and supervisor unit range across Hampshire, along with the reassessments that keep existing cards alive.
We are a family-run provider with more than 40 years in construction and full CITB Training Provider Network accreditation. Courses are taught by people who have laid the reinstatement themselves, which is why candidates leave able to do the job properly rather than just recite the answer.
Send us your card numbers and expiry dates. We will tell you what each person needs, when they need it by, and schedule the whole gang together to keep the cost per head down.
The full NRSWA range plus the plant and safety tickets a highway gang normally needs alongside it.
The full operative unit range for anyone physically carrying out works in the public highway.
Supervisor units for anyone responsible for the safety and compliance of a street works site.
NRSWA cards expire after five years. We run reassessments before yours lapses so nobody is stood down.
Energy & Utility Skills Register schemes for operatives working on utility and water networks.
NPORS and CPCS plant tickets, C.A.T & Genny, confined spaces and site safety courses.
You deal with the same small team from the first phone call through to the cards arriving. No national broker passing your booking to a subcontractor, and no surprises on the invoice.
Cable avoidance tool and signal generator training in line with HSG47, essential before any excavation in the highway.
Low, medium and high risk confined space entry, including tripod and rescue equipment familiarisation for chamber work.
Safe lifting technique and load assessment, written around the kerbs, slabs and equipment a streetworks gang actually handles.
Selection, mounting, inspection and safe use of cut-off saws and abrasive wheels under PUWER 1998.
Signing, lighting and guarding, excavation, reinstatement and chamber work — trained in the conditions your gang works in.

Did my operative units with KOPLANT. Trainer had actually done the job, which made a big difference.Streetworks operative
Came to our depot and trained eight lads over a weekend so we did not lose a day on site. Would use again.Groundworks supervisor
Very helpful working out which units we actually needed rather than just selling us the full set.Site manager
Four steps, and we handle the registration and paperwork side of all of them.
The operations your team carries out in the highway, how many people, and any existing card numbers and expiry dates.
The exact unit set required, a clear price, and dates that fit around your programme — at your depot or our centre.
Practical, scenario-based delivery followed by assessment against the NRSWA requirements with an approved assessor.
Results submitted straight away and cards follow. We record your renewal dates and warn you before they lapse.
The New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 requires anyone working in the public highway to be qualified for the operations they carry out. Operatives need the relevant units for their tasks, and a qualified supervisor must be available to the site. Without valid cards your works can be stopped and your organisation can be prosecuted.
It depends on the work. A gang excavating and reinstating in a footway needs a different unit set from one working in a carriageway. Tell us what your team does day to day and we will specify the shortest compliant set rather than selling you units you will never use.
Five years. After that you need reassessment, which is shorter and cheaper than sitting the units again — but it has to be done before the card expires. Send us your expiry dates and we will flag them in advance.
Yes, and for streetworks it is usually the better option. We deliver at your depot or compound so the gang is not travelling, and we can run early starts or weekends where a live job cannot absorb the downtime.
We will run for a single candidate, though group bookings work out considerably cheaper per head. Most depots put six to twelve people through at a time, which is comfortable for one visit.
Usually, yes. Most streetworks gangs also need excavator, dumper or roller tickets plus C.A.T & Genny. Combining them into one visit saves a second day off the job, so tell us everything you need when you enquire.
Yes. EUSR registration is often specified alongside NRSWA on utility contracts, and we are an approved centre for both, so your team carries one consistent set of credentials.
We work throughout the county — Southampton, Eastleigh, Winchester, Portsmouth, Basingstoke, Andover, Fareham, Havant and the surrounding towns — as well as Dorset, Wiltshire and West Sussex.
Tell us the units, the number of candidates and your card expiry dates. We will come back with pricing and the quickest route to a compliant gang.
