John Gardner, UK Highways Group

The use of Rhinophalt will play a significant part in the future of highway maintenance and we are pleased to be leading the way in its use and taking innovation forward. It’s not only the cost effectiveness of the material but the speed and ease of application means we can close the road after 11 pm and open it again by 5 am having treated at least 15,000 m² of highway with minimum disruption to the motorists. What other processes can you undertake so quickly and get so much from in return? This is the first contract we have used this process (Rhinophalt) on and from what we have seen we are already considering it for our other contract in the UK. I cannot see how anyone can ignore the possibilities available through the use of this process, we believe that preservatives are a big part of the future for highway maintenance and we are pleased to be at the forefront of this innovation.
