Yunex Traffic has been awarded a five-year contract by Bristol City Council for the supply, installation and maintenance of traffic signal and control equipment.
The contract has been awarded with an option to extend it to up to nine years and will see the company maintain equipment at over 550 traffic and pedestrian sites, including more than 5,000 traffic signal heads, as well as more than 300 message and warning signs and ANPR cameras.
The contract covers the local authority areas of Bristol City Council, North Somerset Council and Bath and North East Somerset Council, spanning a mix of urban and rural environments, from Bristol city centre to North Somerset’s coast.
Wilke Reints, managing director of Yunex Traffic UK, said: “Following our recent award of traffic signal maintenance contracts by Derby City, Somerset, Surrey and Lancashire councils, we are delighted to have also been awarded this major contract by Bristol City Council.
“Having worked with the council to deliver its traffic management and control centre technologies, we are now looking forward to working closely with the West of England teams to provide a wide range of maintenance and infrastructure support services.”
To add social value, Yunex said it will employ residents wherever possible, collaborate with local organisations and businesses and aim for equal opportunity employment for young and disadvantaged people.
Also aiming to be carbon neutral by 2030, Yunex will bring a number of its decarbonisation approaches to its work in the region. This includes the use of products with reduced environmental footprint, as well as using renewable electricity, buildings with net-zero carbon emissions and EVs.
