Roland Plastics is now offering the durable Durapath temporary trackway product

The firm has been working with the United Kingdom National Codification Bureau (UKNCB) to gain four Nato Stock Numbers (NSN) for the material.

This is a key development as Nato Stock Numbers (NSN) are issued after rigorous analysis and mean that products can be listed for purchase across any Nato country. This allows businesses to achieve trading relationships, in particular with the military, and other major infrastructure organisations.

The Durapath product is now being used by the Royal School of Military Engineers for a project to deploy a rapid build road surface.

The product is made from 100% recycled plastic, offers efficient drainage and can be used for motorway cnstruction sites and heavy-use car parks and factory settings.

It comes in two colours (sand and black) in 1m2 sheets and 59m2 pallets.

With its high-strength material and clipping system, Durapath can be used in heavy traffic areas with both wheeled and tracked vehicles.    

According to the firm, this is a durable product that provides a permanent ground solution, and replaces the need for traditional and costly hard-standing products. Durapath’s design conforms to the Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems Laws (SUDS) and allows water to permeate through the ground, while being strong enough to take the heaviest of day-to-day loads.

    In some countries, public-private partnerships for road traffic law enforcement are helping to greatly reduce traffic fatalities. But careful implementation is essential, according to a new white paper. Big brother is watching you. Speed cameras are just a cash cow for local authorities. Police use them to keep their speeding ticket statistics high. The list of suspicions goes on. But there is nothing suspicious about road deaths, says Philip Wijers, chairman of the sub-committee on enforcement at the US-ba
