Jethwa: We’re a technology business that has been around for some 25 years in the highways arena. We gather information mainly from manual surveys and we build our own vehicles that go around surveying highways, essentially taking laser measurements of every millimeter across the carriageway of the roads and building up very detailed models of the condition of the road network.
And from there we have progressed to the analysis of that data to try and provide insight for our customers – they can then drill down into that data and extract the key areas where treatment is required; in other words, making strategic decisions about where they are spending their money on the highways infrastructure.
Over time we have launched out into different asset classes through acquisition and organic growth into things like streetlights.
This has all come together with this Alloy application that we have been working on for a couple of years now.
