REMOTE CONTROL INFO TECH BOOSTS EFFICIENCY ON THE A1 LEEMING TO BARTON WIDENING

摘要

Around the country, construction sites are changing. The days of pegging out key points of a building or a road are numbered and pins are being phased out with machines rising up to take up the challenge. So-called "machine control" is now creeping onto site and if you do not know about the technology - you should. The use of machine control is no better demonstrated than on the £380M A1 widening project between Leeming and Barton, south of Darlington. This last remaining 20km long section of dual carriageway on the main road connecting Scotland to the south of England is being transformed into a three lane motorway in a long awaited upgrade.
