Causeway takes over Buchanan Computing

Construction technology provider Causeway Technologies has acquired Buchanan Computing, a provider of traffic engineering and highways management solutions.

Buchanan Computing’s Park Map system is currently used by move than 90 UK local authorities to manage the complete lifecycle of traffic regulation orders (TROs).

Buchanan Computing was formed in 1997 by Simon Morgan (pictured right). It is named after the transport planner, Prof Sir Colin Buchanan, author of ‘Traffic in Towns’.

Morgan said: “For several years we have worked closely with Causeway, providing added value to mutual clients by providing links and integrations between our respective products. It therefore makes total sense to combine our resources in this way and to work more closely with the teams we have got to know at Causeway. 

“Combining our highly complementary portfolios will bring huge value to our local authority customers, delivering all road data and design capability in a single asset management environment. I am very proud to have founded Buchanan Computing and taken it to this point where it has a wide user base and is massively respected.”
