HRS has successfully deployed Smart Speed Signs on the M62, M20 and M23 Smart Motorway Projects in time for the opening of additional lanes as of the April 1st.

These new Smart Signs provide project teams with the ability to vary the speed remotely, depending on traffic conditions and works activities; significantly enhancing safety for road workers, emergency responders and road users.

The Smart Sign looks just like an ordinary temporary speed signs, however they are programmed to display up to three different speed limit variations at the push of a button. The Smart Signs are controlled remotely via HRS’s Internet of Things (IoT) device management platform which connects all of HRS’s digital services, including Intellicone Smart Closure and Smart Taper.

Roger Poeth, Managing Director, said:

“I am very proud of our Technical & Delivery teams. They have managed to develop, manufacture and deploy the Smart Signs in under just 3 months and in very challenging circumstances. It would not have been possible without the support from our clients and their delivery partners, who have worked collaboratively and ‘pulled out all the stops’ to make this happen. Overall, a fantastic result for everyone involved and we are pleased to be able to contribute to the safe operation of the Smart Motorway Projects whilst they are completed over the following months”

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.

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.
