#175 Tarmac on the Future of Road Technology

The UK’s roads are in increasing need of repair and local councils are facing a nine year long backlog of overdue road maintenance. However, with new technologies entering the road construction industry, future road maintenance and construction projects could be safer, greener and result in longer lasting roads. Tarmac is bringing together all the industry’s most cutting-edge technology into their Pave Technology Solutions programme. The suite of technologies can be selected depending on the projects desired outcomes, that could be to produce smoother, longer lasting roads or to reduce a projects carbon emissions or even making the construction site safer for workers. Ben Howard and Phil Greening from Tarmac explain how some of these technologies were developed and how their introduction could impact the UK road construction industry.
