Celebrating a Second Product of the Year Award

Digital Service Leaders HRS have secured a second win of the prestigious Highways Product of the Year Award for their Dynamic Speed Sign in conjunction with Chevron Traffic Management.

Winning their first Award for the Intellicone Incursion Prevention and Warning System at the beginnings of HRS today, in their 10^th Anniversary Year, the second award has even more meaning to the HRS Team and secures them as true innovators in the field of digital services for temporary work zone solutions.

The Smart Sign, now rebranded as the Dynamic Speed Sign for 2021, was developed following foresight from Highways England, who identified the requirement for such a device and also played a vital role in the early trial stages. This partnership was commended by the Awarding Panel of Judges who commented the Dynamic Speed Sign was ‘A true example of innovation and collaboration’.

Roger Poeth, Managing Director of HRS stated “To win Highways Product of the Year is a huge achievement and is testament to the partnership between HRS and Chevron TM and our collaboration with Highways England and the wider industry with whom we engaged to ensure the Dynamic Speed Sign meets the need of the industry. I am honoured and proud to create an innovative product which will make such a positive impact on our industry.”

This new Dynamic Speed Sign technology makes it possible for road users to benefit from reduced journey times through work zones during off peak operations with a 60mph speed limit, while the workforce can be protected by a lower speed limit of 40mph or 50mph during working hours or incidents.

The sign is easy to deploy and is mounted on a traditional A-frame, featuring an integrated solar power system with battery back-up. HRS also provide a full reporting service and condition monitoring system through their own www.Myworkzones.com client portal.

A recent deployment of the signs on the M4 resulted in excellent feedback from the client and facilitated numerous speed changes over the duration of the scheme.

Thank you for your help. The works to the bridge were completed and great teamwork from both crews. I had a good view from the bridge and was very impressed by their work. Always said it....TM is an art form!

Please accept our thanks your team’s efforts on this project. Chevron have been brilliant, nothing has been too much to ask of you and we have delivered to programme despite the complexities of working at these junctions. Look forward to working with you in the future, I think it’s forged a good relationship between us.

Marlow Carnival 2017

Can I please express my thanks on behalf of everyone at Kier for the exceptional aptitude and attitude shown by one of your site teams who were engaged in a recent local community project. As with any town centre closure there were some ‘challenges’ thrown at the crew but their attitude and commitment to the safety of the children, parents and support groups was second to none. It’s lovely to be able to write this reference to your colleagues, please pass on my most sincere thanks.

Richard Moore, Traffic Management Team Manager, Kier Highways

Another great success for Area 3. To turn this around in such a short space of time due to the nature of the repair and the location is a credit to you and your teams. Well done!

A404 Resurfacing

Could I say a big thank you to yourselves and to all your crews which were on site at the A404 Resurfacing scheme last night. I have spoken to the Tarmac site supervisor from the Chieveley depot this morning who was very appreciative of how helpful and how good it was to work with the crew that was on site.
