ABOUT US
Our Services
Scotland TranServ manages and maintains more than 600 kilometres of trunk road and motorway network across South West Scotland.
We continue to invest on behalf of our client, Transport Scotland to improve the quality of the country’s roads, prioritising road maintenance issues and delivering a programme of improvements as quickly, efficiently and safely as possible.
Our Winter Service
Scotland TranServ has over 120 trained and experienced Winter Service operatives ready to carry out planned treatments and patrol routes across South West Scotland.
During 2016/17, we carried out 1545 treatments and 657 patrols between October and May, an increase on the previous year. Due to innovative operating solutions there was a further 37% reduction in the volume of salt used on the previous year.
We already deliver reduced salt usage, and associated environmental benefits, due to our pre-wet treatment. We are currently the only operating company in Scotland using route based forecasting, with further innovation in the pipeline.
