We pride ourselves on installing all carriageway loops to MCH 1540 (Specification for the installation of detector loops on motorways and all-purpose trunk roads) with a two part backfill comprising of polyurethane resin and hot oxidised bitumen.
Specialist services include the installation of MIDAS, COUNT, TME, Enforcement, Traffic Signal, Weather Station and data collection loops for a host of major service providers and local authorities throughout the UK.
Over a period of 20 years we have established a reputation as market leaders within this specialist field and have gained preferred supply chain status for our dedication to customer service and easy to do business with approach.
Beginning in 1991, Crown Cutting Services formed with just one solitary cutting crew. By 1995, the workforce had trebled as 3 crews were taking to our highways. The proud growth continued into 1997 when Crown Cutting Services had 5 working crews out on the UK’s roads.
In 2005, they proved themselves to be the best in the business by producing a best practice DVD for MIDAS loop installation for the Highways Agency- now known as Highways England. By 2012, with 8 crews on our network Crown were providing the complete package of loop detection services- something that they’re extremely proud of continuing to this day.
“Crown Highways have been cutting loops in Area 3 since 2008 and in the last 12 months they have cut over 500 sets of loops as part of our Highways England scheme delivery programme. Crown are an active member of the award winning Area 3 Supply Chain Community and have always provided an efficient and professional service.”
Rees Evans, Contract Director, Area 3, Kier.
All works are undertaken by our directly employed and qualified (CSCS, NRSWA, National Highway Sector Scheme 8) workforce aided by continual investment in the latest specialist plant and purpose built vehicles. Nobody in the game has the expertise or experience that Crown have to offer and they continue to strive to be the specialist sub-contractor of choice for all companies delivering MAC, ASC, RTMC, TechMAC and Framework contracts.
We are always looking for new technology to meet our customer’s needs, Radar detection has come to forefront in recent years and is being delivered across the Highways England network. Crown Highways can share its experience in the installation and commissioning of Radar systems and an alternative to inductive loops.
