New roads and developments in the south west of England and South Wales demonstrate the increasing co-operation between civil construction firms and 189 Siemens. The latest contracts cover traffic signalling design projects and the supply and installation of a range of traffic control equipment and management systems.

In South Wales, construction is well underway on a new 65 acre Science and Innovation Campus located on the beach on the eastern approach to Swansea, which will be home to the College of Engineering and School of Management from September 2015. Contracted by civil engineering firm Dawnus, the project includes the design of the traffic scheme by Siemens and the provision and deployment of traffic detection and signal equipment, passive poles and wireless magnetometer sensors for two new access junctions.

Construction work is now well underway on a package of public transport, road and junction improvements in Cornwall, the primary objective to take traffic off the A3047 running between the Camborne, Pool and Redruth area.

As part of the scheme, Carillion has ordered ELV ST950 traffic controllers for two new junctions and a pedestrian crossing. A new junction on the west side of the Red River valley will be required to accommodate the proposed Tuckingmill Urban Development. The works will also include a twin arch structure over the Red River and Chapel road, and minor improvements to other roads in the area, including footways and cycleways.
