A new Huesker road repair product is now available made from recycled materials

The proven HaTelit asphalt reinforcements suit use in road rehabilitation and are said to offer both sustainability and cost-effectiveness.

Conventional repair and rehabilitation work can be a quick, cost-effective solution but may not prevent reflective cracking, which then has to be repaired again.

According to Huesker, its HaTelit asphalt reinforcement system can tackle the issue, while also being quick and easy to install, helping minimise traffic disruption during repair works.

The firm says that its HaTelit product offers long-term durability due to the special bitumen coating (bitumen content > 65 %) and an optimal mesh size. This allows a strong adhesive bond with asphalt layers. Studies have shown that even 15 years after a repair has been carried out, the road is in a condition equivalent to that of a full reconstruction.

The extended service life, less use of material and transport not only have a positive impact on costs of up to 40%, but also reduce CO2 emissions per rehabilitated lane kilometre by more than 24.3tonnes.

In addition, the latest HaTelit asphalt reinforcement products are available for use on both asphalt and concrete surfaces. A particularly sustainable variant is HaTelit C eco, which consists of 100 % PET recycled yarn, while retaining the performance of the original HaTelit C iproduct.

    High performance markings are among the safety products used to guide traffic safely, but they must be tested and checked. Patrick Smith reports. Road construction zones, zebra crossings, tunnels and areas with frequent fog are particular focal points with regard to road user safety. This is why manufacturers, authorities and contractors are always eager to use innovative road markings and special studs or, where necessary, lane control devices to assist both drivers and pedestrians in all conditions, parti

    Stabilisers bring recycling improvements to roads in the UK and Armenia. The local road authorities near the UK city of Bath have saved nearly €250,500 on the cost of repairing a 400m long section of the B3110 Midford Road. This saving has been achieved by opting to recycle and strengthen in-situ the existing surface, instead of using conventional full depth pavement reconstruction.

    January 19, 2016
    Warsaw’s General Stefan Rowecki Bridge, or the Grota Bridge, is the second largest in the Polish capital and, as part of the Trasa Toruska expressway, it is the busiest. The structure, which opened in 1981, handles 150,000 cars daily, so repairs were always going to be tricky if minimal disruption to traffic was to occur. The steel orthotropic deck consists of two structurally independent parts – each with four traffic lanes. This meant that pedestrians and cyclists were restricted to two very narrow track
