 Infrastructure software provider 7606 Yotta is partnering with infrastructure services company FM Conway to deliver a US$50.4 million per annum highway maintenance contract for Westminster City Council in London. WSP is a third partner on the project, supplying design services.

The eight year contract, with optional four year extension, comprises highways maintenance services, including repairs. Elements of the contract provided by Yotta will include high tech road surveys to help Westminster Council inform their asset management process, produce forward works programmes and develop an ongoing maintenance programme.
 
Working alongside FM Conway, Yotta will complete a number of surveys on behalf of Westminster City Council including a Sideway-force Coefficient Routine Investigation Machine (SCRIM) survey to provide a measurement of wet skidding resistance, a Footway Network Survey (FNS) survey and the production of UK Pavement Management System (UKPMS) datasets. Yotta will also be implementing their Horizons asset management software to help visualise the collected data informing forward works programmes and future maintenance planning.
