Traffic Signal Works is a broad term used to describe the many intricacies involved with modern traffic systems.  From the control base to the sensors in the road to the lights themselves there is a lot of work involved.  Fortunately, our years of experience in the telecommunications industry has provided us with an extensive range of skills and knowledge that we apply to these works including:-

Traffic Control Pits

  • Upgrade existing

  • Replace damaged

  • Install new

Duct Network

Control Base

  • Installing in preparation for the Traffic Control Cabinet (often referred to as the brain of the system)

Traffic Signal Poles

  • Replace damaged poles

  • Install new

Sensor Loops

  • Install new loops for traffic detection

Asphalt and Concrete

Understandably, at times these works can require traffic management measures.  At Maintain Contracting, we can assist you with every aspect of traffic management, from preparing and implementation of work zone traffic management plans to the onsite control of traffic.

Did you know?

The first traffic light was installed in London in the December of 1868.  It was a gas-lit system inspired by railway signalling systems and unfortunately exploded in January of 1869 from a gas leak.  Thankfully, traffic lights have come a long way since then.  

The first traffic lights installed in Launceston were in August of 1948.  They were installed at the intersections of Brisbane & George Streets and St. John & Charles Streets and only operated between 7am and Midnight.  

The Launceston City Council is currently working with State and Federal groups to upgrade the traffic signal system which will include SCATS (Sydney Coordinated ADAPTIVE Traffic System), Bluetooth, LED Signals and CCTV to monitor and adjust traffic flow and congestion.
