Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) reported that its National Roads
Telecommunications Services (NRTS) project has been recognized by
Highways England for achieving 3 million safe working hours while
executing the project across England’s operational motorways and
trunk roads.
The Significant Achievement Award for Safety was presented by
David Brewer, Highways England’s network delivery and development
executive director to Kevin Hamer, Highways England NRTS contract
manager and Simon Morris, Fluor’s project director.
“This award recognizes the commitment to safety by all team
members and our client, Highways England,” said Hans Dekker,
president of Fluor’s Infrastructure business. “It is an achievement
they can all be proud of on a project that is delivered at up to 50
locations across the UK on operational motorways 24-hours-a-day,
every day of the year.”
The special-purpose vehicle set up to execute the project,
GeneSYS Telecommunications Limited, a Fluor, InfraRed
Infrastructure Yield Holdings Limited company, was recently awarded
a two-year extension by Highways England to the original 10.5-year
NRTS contract awarded in 2005.
“This safety award is especially meaningful to the GeneSYS team
as it is from our client,” said Simon Morris, NRTS project
director. “Highways England employees were able to vote on the
video entries for each project, which were then shortlisted for
final selection by two of Highways England’s Executive
Directors.”
The Fluor-led team is responsible for program management,
design, construction and financing of an integrated communications
system, as well as the upgrade, operations and maintenance of
existing infrastructure throughout England’s 4,000-mile motorway
and trunk road networks. The project has enabled the rollout of
smart-road technology to enhance road safety and to better inform
the traveling public.
Key subcontractors to the Fluor project team are Alcatel-Lucent
and Imtech (formerly known as Peek Traffic), as well as a number of
civil installation contractors.
Highways England is a government-owned company responsible for
delivering £11 billion worth of improvements to England’s motorways
and major “A” roads by 2020.
