SUPPORTING THE STREET MANAGER INITIATIVE

EToNweb, interfacing to Street Manager

A deep understanding of complex highways is still required

We believe that our strength is in managing street works requirements for multiple, complex projects and we intend to continue to do this in EToNweb, interfacing to Street Manager rather than multiple highway authority systems.

Itertek fully support this initiative, we do not believe it is a threat to our business model but rather provides opportunities to expand it. The requirement for a deep understanding of complex highways and street works legislation will remain and it will also make it easier for organisations to outsource management of their street works function.

Street works users should be aware of some minor changes to legislation, mainly to do with removing references to the deprecated EToN specification and its replacement with Street Manager but there is also a requirement to notify the highway authority within two working hours of works starting or completing which may cause some operational challenges. There are also amendments to the definition of Major works and the allowed duration of Section 58 restrictions.
