The brief

Five contracts have been awarded for specialist technical support to provide regional routine annual skid resistance surveys.

Sideways-force coefficient routine investigation machine surveys are Highways England's method of assessing and monitoring skid resistance in accordance with the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) standard HD28/CS228.

The strategic road network is surveyed annually to assess skid resistance.
