Balfour Beatty has secured its third Regional Technology Maintenance Contract (RTMC) from the Highways Agency worth £8.7 million over five years.
The contract to maintain approximately 28,000 technology assets on behalf of the Highways Agency will cover both the Highways Agency’s Area 7 (the East Midlands) and Area 9 (the West Midlands).
The technology service provided by Balfour Beatty includes responsibility for managing and maintaining road-side technology systems such as the 'Birmingham Box smart motorway' sections, Variable Message Signs, CCTV cameras, traffic data loops and emergency telephones, as well as control equipment at Regional Control Centres.
The contract will commence on 1 July 2014 for five years, with an extension option of a further three years.
Balfour Beatty is also currently responsible for the Highways Agency's RTMC contracts in the South West and North West. With this new contract award Balfour Beatty is now responsible for half of England's roadside technology assets.
