Instarmac’s New Zealand partner, Horizon International, has supplied UltraScape’s Mortar Paving System to Auckland Transport as part of a local improvement project. Franklin Road regularly surpasses 14,000 vehicles per day, including buses and heavy goods vehicles. This heavy and constant trafficking had caused the road surface to deteriorate. Auckland Transport announced their plans to carry out significant improvement works to Franklin Road to provide “an urban streetscape that will accommodate all

SDS says that its engineered treatment media Aqua-Xchange can be used in regulatory-compliant sustainable drainage systems - SuDS. Delivered to site in lightweight 1m³ bags, it can be deployed as stormwater treatment in highways drainage, as well as on other higher risk locations such as retail car parks, freight and logistics hubs. SDS claims that independent tests have shown its Aqua-Xchange removes 99% of dissolved copper and zinc, toxic metals identified by Highways England as priority pollutants

says that says that it has delivered and set up its first mini cold mix unit in Algeria. The fully automatic machine is a complete production system including production of cold mix and packing system for bags and buckets. A PLC – programmable logic controller - monitors the system and makes decisions based upon a custom programme to control output. Emulbitume assembled the unit and provided initial technical assistance including start-up for its customer, Souf Bitume, near Oued Souf. Em

Aggregate Industries says that its new KS12-16 ExtendaChip Spreader will “redefine health and safety standards” across the highways sector. The KS12-16 ExtendaChip Spreader has been developed in conjunction with engineering firm and equipment supplier Pavemac, based in England. Aggregates Industries claims that it is “the first machine of its kind” to be extendable, with a width range between 3.6-4.9m. This removes the need for multiple chippers on site and so speeds chip spreading operations.

Traditional pavement drying typically involves the use of jet engine dryers, infrared heat and portable blowers, combined with brooms and manual squeegees. Each method has its limitations along with safety concerns. These include the use of jet fuel, noise, melting pavement, danger from thrown rocks or other objects – not mention slow results. Because of this, traffic is often fully restricted from traveling on roads or runways where drying work is taking place.
