OMG's Yotta wins Hounslow Highways PFI Contract

-Contract to survey the entire London Borough of Hounslow network-

- Contract is worth up to £100,000 a year to Yotta -

 

OMG plc, (AIM: OMG), the technology group providing image understanding products for the entertainment, defence, life science and engineering industries, announces that its infrastructure asset management technology arm, Yotta has secured a contract to provide a range of high-tech road surveys and consultancy services to Hounslow Highways, worth up to £100,000 a year. The contract will run for a year with the option to bid again on an annual basis.

 

Hounslow Highways is a Private Finance Initiative ("PFI") partnership between the London Borough of Hounslow, VINCI Concessions and Ringway. Hounslow Highways began operating the new highways service in the London Borough of Hounslow on 1 January 2013. The surveys that Yotta will provide include a combined Footway Network and Detailed Visual Inspection survey, Skid Resistance as well as Traffic Speed surveys (SCANNER).

 

Yotta has worked independently with Hounslow council for a number of years and over the course of this new PFI contract, Yotta will survey the entire Hounslow highway network; totaling 458 miles of footway and 259 miles of carriageway. Yotta has also produced a bespoke survey manual to improve the consistency and repeatability of its visual surveys which will enable Hounslow Highways to make the most from its expertise and support.

 

By way of background, this project is the result of a historic £800 million, 25-year deal signed by the council in 2013 to improve the highways infrastructure across the borough. In the first five years, during the Core Investment Period, approximately £100 million will be invested through the Special Purpose Vehicle to improve the borough's 259 miles of roads and 458 miles of footpaths. During the first two-years, 16,000 street lighting units will be replaced with low-energy, carbon-efficient LED lanterns.

 

Rob Gillespie, Service Director, Hounslow Highways, said:

 

"Yotta understands our network and our survey requirements. We also appreciate what the company can do for us and we have developed a close working relationship. The company's survey team is competent and we get accurate, quality data that helps us with meeting our performance indicators for maintaining and improving the network."

 

On securing the contract, Nick Bolton, CEO of OMG, said:

 

"We have worked for several years with the council and this new contract further cements our relationship with Hounslow Highways as it works toward improving the infrastructure across the borough. It's good to be a part of this wider project to upgrade the borough and this is a great opportunity for Yotta."
