36 SURFACE MAINTENANCE Using the product properly
EST is urging major clients such as the Highways Agency, Transport for Scotland and ADEPT to encourage the use of the product at the correct time of year, to ensure that longevity is achieved.
“The development within the process and the investment that has been made by Eurovia provides a safe durable road surface that will continue to save lives on the road network,” explains Goosey.
“The diffi culty will be in changing the mind-set of clients so they consider using high friction surfacing again. We must continue to remind ourselves of the primary reason for the original development of this product which is for the safety of road users on the highways network.”
In June 2011 the RSTA/ADEPT published the codes of practice for high friction surfacing which promotes best practice across the industry and Eurovia encourage clients to refer to this document.
Goosey remarks: “The challenge is to look at restoring faith in high friction surfacing by providing a durable, long-lasting product that minimises disruption due to the speed it is applied and that ultimately, can save lives.
“I believe high friction surfacing still has a future within the highway engineer’s product portfolio.”
The volume of high friction surfacing applied throughout the country has fallen year-on-year
