Over 1 million potholes filled in 2018 at a cost approaching £100m. Over the last decade 17.9 million potholes have been filled in at a cost exceeding £1 billion. 

The total cost of handling and settling claims reported as more than £28m. 82% of claims relate specifically to pothole damage. 

One pothole being filled every 21 secs Why ? Traffic ? Ground conditions? Materials? or Workmanship ? What can we do about this ‘blight’ ?

“I’m also acutely aware that we have problems with the conditions of our roads in many areas. Potholes are a blight on every motorist and too many are caused by poor road repairs. We’re already spending record amounts on fixing potholes. But I will be setting out further plans in the coming weeks to tackle this blight". The plan - £420m Is this the solution ?

Average cost to fill one pothole = £49 planned Average cost to fill one pothole = £74 reactive Get it right first time

100% Insitu voids compliance on all core results to date. The best material Available at the correct temperature Facilitates maximum compaction Achieves Optimum durability 100% Insitu voids compliance on all core results to date.

Safer!

Highway Industry Product of the Year Tarmac’s Ultipatch Sitemix has won the award for ‘Highway Industry Product of the Year’ at the Highways Awards 2018. The judges commented on the product's 'clear benefits in terms of productivity and efficiencies'. Developed specifically for use with mobile asphalt mixing machines, this bagged asphalt provides exactly the right quantity of fresh hotmix asphalt wherever it is needed with zero wastage.

And lower mixing temperatures and less fume

Figures based on 10% conversion of annual < 3 tonne collections 500,000 miles less travelling 5,500 tonnes less wastage 20% cost savings per square metre

Unique production process ensures minimal binder hardening during production. 30% CO2 reduction during manufacturing. Lower temperature mixing on site again reduces the binder hardening impact and contributes to longer lasting patching. Fastest mixing times of any solution on the market. Minimal water content reduces fuel and optimises material superage.

Eliminates wastage Only mix what is needed. No unnecessary material costs, or disposal costs of unused material. Superior workability Fresh asphalt will typically be more workable than older material. Enhanced Durability Improved compliance with insitu voids criteria, improved durability from better compaction and optimum binder performance. Reduced costs Avoid plant opening charges and unprofitable lost ‘man time’ queuing at plants and transporting material to site. Ready to go 24/7. Available in a wide range of products and ideal for unplanned emergency work and work at remote or congested locations. Safer Available in 20kg bags and no need for mixer end loading.
