Tensar’s flexible and reactive approach to optimising pavement design has delivered cost savings on a project to expand a science and technology park in England. The US$6.7 million NETPark Phase 3A Infrastructure project in county Durham will see construction of a spine road and side roads. The road will open up 10.5ha of development land at the North East Technology Park. The ambitious expansion plans will create additional space for research and development companies which need room to prototype and scale
The UK’s Highways Agency will rebrand as part of the organisation’s first five-year Strategic Business Plan to maintain England’s motorways and major A roads up to 2020.

Formwork specialist Paschal is now offering real-time concrete curing measurement using Maturix, a new system developed in Denmark.
Am ordinary inexpensive wire is permanently embedded into the concrete during pouring.
Concrete strength analysis and monitoring is carried out by wireless radio transmitters – this allows both improved planning and real-time monitoring independent of location and time, according to both companies.
The optimal time for dismantling formwork is determined. The user rec

Perhaps he was trying to show his driving skills to hi
