The provisional programme is now available for this year’s Euroasphalt and Eurobitume Event in Berlin. June 14-15.


The focus of E&E 2018 will be on the preparations needed by the asphalt industry to ensure that it is fit for purpose in the future.

Important strategic issues will be explored, some of which were highlighted in the E&E Congress 2016. These include the increasingly stringent economic aspects of supply and demand, the growing environmental issues over highway construction and use, health and safety within the sector and, as ever, the latest technologies and equipment.

The facilitator will again be Katrina Sichel, back moderating after leading the successful E&E Event 2016. This year’s event will be based on a completely new format. The programme will be centred around a series of professionally-facilitated sessions using debates, workshops and information exchanges, supported by online tools that allow attendees to have their own say.

Attendees will hear about road financing initiatives, the European Union’s Eurovignette Directive as well as ideas on who pays and for what. The latest low-rolling resistance asphalt will be examined, along with more sustainable pavements and how to reduce CO2 emissions along highways.

The venue is Vienna House, Andel’s Berlin and a networking dinner - included in the registration fee - will be amid the historical industrial architecture of the 100-year-old pumping station, Wasserwerk Berlin. More information about Wasserwerk Berlin can be found at the website:

    The Scottish roads authority has backpedalled on its recently improved cycle lane along a major route on the south-west coast, close to the city of Ayr.

    Amid local authority concerns over traffic congestion and one man’s media-grabbing protest, the cycle lane will now be ripped out – after being installed this summer.

    As the video shows, it is a protected wide lane, often painted blue. Cars appear to travel freely beside it.

  • Percussive diamond inserts from Element Six lead to longer mining drill life
    January 6, 2017
    Synthetic diamond division of DeBeers, Element Six, has developed the 3D Percussive Diamond Insert (PDI) that it claims will radically cut costs in the mining drill industry. The 3D PDI uses the firm’s polycrystalline diamond technology to optimise wear and impact resistance properties, while improving penetration rates for the drill bit. The firm claims that tests of the drill insert show up to 10 times the drill life of a conventional tungsten carbide insert., greatly reducing costly rig downtime for serv
