2929 Fugro Aperio is launching its SCANNER survey service, which it says offers competitive, efficient and dynamic highways data collection to assist road agencies and local authorities in reporting to National Indicators.

Chris Newson has joined the company, part of the Fugro group of companies, as network services manager to head up the company’s newly-formed road condition scanning business.

The company’s state-of-the-art SCANNER fleet is equipped with a new generation version of the ARAN (Automatic Road Analyser) integrated survey platform developed by 1169 Fugro Roadware.

ARAN provides efficient collection, synchronisation and processing of the statutory road condition datasets forming part of the SCANNER specification.

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.

“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,” says Newson.
