Temporary Traffic Management equipment like the workhorse AWVMS, highly visible and robust LAS, lifesaving crash attenuators like our Scorpion TMA's and high usage VMS trailers from our VERMAC range are put their paces on our network. They are exposed to all sorts of weather, multiple shifts, staff turnaround, vandalism and sometimes improper usage. We developed a preventative maintenance programme, to encourage proper planned maintenance and to minimise unnecessary breakdowns and malfunctions. Improving safety and adding value for our customers is at the heart of what we are doing for our service and repairs offering.
