69 International Road Dynamics (IRD) has been awarded a US$1.7 million contract by Chippewa Concrete Services of Wisconsin to supply, install and maintain a weigh-in-motion (WIM) sorting system at the Douglas County Safety and Weight Enforcement Facility (SWEF).  The project is to be completed by the summer of 2016.
 
IRD will supply and install its patented WIM scales, iSINC electronics, video verification system, vehicle movement compliance system and associated operational software.  The system will allow commercial vehicles that comply with size and weight limits to bypass the facility, reducing the number of trucks that are required to stop at the inspection station. With fewer delays at the SWEF, carriers are able to deliver goods in a more efficient and timely manner. Maintenance, service and support of the system for five years after system commissioning are included as part of this contract.
 
Terry Bergan, IRD's president and CEO commented: "We are pleased to have been awarded this new contract in Wisconsin, another example that demonstrates the continued growth of our US deployments as commercial vehicle traffic and the associated movement of goods on our highways continue to increase. We expect this aspect of our business will continue to grow as we leverage our strong market reputation for quality and service."
