Key Achievements:
Lead ITS Designer on £3.9m contract for construction of Ramp Metering system at five sites in North East

a result of this amendment these designs are now standard throughout the UK.
Lead designer for installation of a queue detection system as part of an accident reduction strategy on
the A46 in the West Midlands. Specified all-wireless technology to save on long term maintenance costs,
and CO2 reducing technology such as energy saving LEDs, and miniature wind turbines and solar panels
