UK technology company Ideagen's Coruson software will be utilised by ConnectPlus consortium to improve safety, quality and environmental processes for the renewal of the M25 motorway. Around 650 users will report into the quality management system.


ConnectPlus is managing the 25-year phase of the Design, Build, Finance and Operate upgrade and maintenance project. The firm helps supervise subcontractors as well as provide maintenance work and small improvement schemes.

Phillip Ross, head of health, safety, environment and quality at ConnectPlus, says the contract focuses on processes such as repairing potholes in the road or procedures for completing actual payments.

“This project will be about modernising these processes and using an electronic, modern system to access, manage and maintain them going forward”, Ross adds.

The initiative started in 2009 and comprises around 400km of carriageway. The motorway has expanded from three to four lanes between junctions 16-23 and 27-30 to help ease congestion.

ConnectPlus consortium members include 3902 Balfour Beatty, 1414 Egis Road Operation UK and Edge Orbital Holdings.
