East Sussex County Council has awarded 5956 Yotta DCL a series of contracts to help with managing the council’s highway assets, following a successful video survey of its 3500-km highway network with data extracted and delivered using Yotta DCL’s unique visualised asset management software, Horizons.

Yotta DCL will also work with the council’s maintenance contractor to enable the development of a fully integrated asset management solution that supports the whole highways maintenance supply chain.  This will involve a seamless interfacing of Horizons with Barium Live business-process management software, which, like Horizons, is a cloud-delivered system.

“Yotta DCL is a trusted partner and our relationship provides many benefits to East Sussex that extends well beyond surveying and data extraction. The company is assisting us strategically, helping us to look at our network holistically and develop asset management schemes that are cost effective and deliver real value in maintaining our highways. The Yotta DCL  team’s skills and knowledge, and application of cutting edge technology such as Horizons, complement our own capabilities perfectly and aid us in making the  best decisions based on sound engineering principles,” says Chris Dyer, highway asset manager, East Sussex County Council.
