Fugro Aperio appoints head for its SCANNER road survey service

Dec. 6, 2010 - PRLog -- Chris has 20 years experience in road condition surveys, pavement data interpretation and pavement management at network and project level, in both the public and private sectors.
With extensive knowledge of UK road networks and survey logistics, Chris brings a wealth of experience in scheduling data collection to maximise coverage as well as managing multiple surveys for a large client base. He is a member of the Roads Board Advisory Group. He has undertaken data audits for the Highways Agency and acted as an expert reviewer of national standards.
Chris said: “As well as overseeing the efficient delivery of SCANNER data under our contracts, I will be advising clients on best practice, cost-efficiency in data gathering, and value management of SCANNER intelligence to best protect their budgets.”
Fugro Aperio is set to launch its SCANNER survey service in the New Year, offering competitive, efficient and dynamic highways data collection to assist road agencies and local authorities in reporting to National Indicators.
The company’s state-of-the-art SCANNER fleet is equipped with a new generation, world class version of the ARAN (Automatic Road Analyser) integrated survey platform developed by Fugro Roadware. ARAN provides extremely efficient collection, synchronisation and processing of the statutory road condition datasets forming part of the SCANNER specification.
Uniquely, clients can specify the collection of additional types of asset data, such as ground penetrating radar or high definition, forward-facing video, together with their SCANNER data. It allows highways authorities to reduce the cost and carbon footprint of commissioning separate road surveys, while yielding additional interpretative data to enhance accuracy and cost-efficiency in asset management decisions.
Part of the Fugro group of companies, Fugro Aperio is an established specialist in infrastructure condition and asset management surveys for the highways, rail and airport sectors. Visit http://www.fugro-aperio.com
