OMG unveils big contract win

Imaging software provider OMG has announced that its Yotta DCL division, the UK's leading highway surveying company, has signed a four-year contract with the Highways Agency.

The contract, which carries the option to renew for a further year, is expected to be worth £2.27m over the life of the contract.

As part of the agreement, Yotta DCL will perform a Traffic Speed Condition Survey (TRACS) to determine the condition of the road surface, assess which areas are in particular need of repair and determine where immediate action needs to be taken. Over the life of the agreement, Yotta DCL will survey and monitor around 140,000km of motorway and other major roads across England.
