KOREC wins second substantial Highways Agency order
KOREC is delighted to announce that it has won a second substantial order from the Highways Agency for the supply of surveying instruments.
The Highways Agency, which is responsible for England’s motorways and major A roads, has invested an additional £600,000 in total station and GPS receivers. KOREC was approached by the Highways Agency to tender for Trimble S6 DR (Direct Reflex) Total Stations and Trimble R8 GNSS receivers which will be used by Police Collision Investigation Units across the country as part of the Highways Agency’s heavy investment to ensure that Police Forces are equipped to carry out their survey work quickly and accurately with minimum road closure time.
In 2008, many Police Forces selected KOREC’s ‘Integrated Surveying Solution’ of Trimble S6 DR Total Stations and Trimble GNSS R8 Rovers. Recent reports of a marked increase in productivity since the introduction of these new systems has led the Highways Agency to continue its investment by replacing any remaining older, less productive total stations, with Trimble S6’s.
Liz Talbot, Traffic Incident Management team leader, Highways Agency, said “We have continued our investment following the success of last year’s roll-out of equipment. The equipment reduces the amount of time it takes for the Police to conduct their investigation, on average by 30 minutes. Using this new equipment the Police are able to do this more quickly but without compromising the quality of the data they collect. It has made a real difference to re-opening roads more quickly. We are committed to working with the police to make the roads safer and making journey times more reliable for road users.”
The ‘future proof’ Trimble Integrated Surveying Solution is ideal for recording all collision marks such as skids, gouges and scrapes whilst Trimble technology such as Magdrive and MultiTrack provides the user with exceptional productivity gains.
