Improved traffic flow across the Highways England network will boost safety for road users while also boosting the economy
RSS 6343 Fluor Corporation has won an achievement award from 8100 Highways England for its National Roads Telecommunications Services (NRTS) project. This has been recognised by Highways England for achieving 3 million safe working hours while executing the project across England’s operational motorways and trunk roads.
The Significant Achievement Award for Safety was presented by David Brewer, Highways England’s network delivery and development executive director to Kevin Hamer, Highways England NRTS contract manager and Simon Morris, Fluor’s project director.
“This award recognises the commitment to safety by all team members and our client, Highways England,” said Hans Dekker, president of Fluor’s Infrastructure business. “It is an achievement they can all be proud of on a project that is delivered at up to 50 locations across the UK on operational motorways 24-hours-a-day, every day of the year.”
The special-purpose vehicle set up to execute the project, GeneSYS Telecommunications, a Fluor, InfraRed Infrastructure Yield Holdings Limited company, was recently awarded a two-year extension by Highways England to the original 10.5-year NRTS contract awarded in 2005.
“This safety award is especially meaningful to the GeneSYS team as it is from our client,” said Simon Morris, NRTS project director. “Highways England employees were able to vote on the video entries for each project, which were then shortlisted for final selection by two of Highways England’s Executive Directors.”
The Fluor-led team is responsible for program management, design, construction and financing of an integrated communications system, as well as the upgrade, operations and maintenance of existing infrastructure throughout England’s 6,400km motorway and trunk road networks. The project has enabled the rollout of smart-road technology to enhance road safety and to better inform the traveling public.
Key subcontractors to the Fluor project team are Alcatel-Lucent and8265 Imtech Traffic & Infra (formerly known as Peek Traffic), as well as a number of civil installation contractors.
