At ASI we are constantly striving to extend the life of our valuable infrastructure network through planned maintenance using RHiNOPHALT^®.

Our goal is to provide the road users and owners surety that their investment will provide a long, safe and disruption free life cycle. Long by protecting and preserving the bituminous component of the surface course, extending the serviceable life by up to 50% at a fraction of the cost of conventional methods. Safe by significantly reducing the advent of potholes and the damage that this may cause to the publics vehicles. Disruption free by reducing the need for unplanned interventions by up to 60%.

To this end, we recently commissioned a report by TRL to review the performance of RHiNOPHALT ® and compare it to the performance of the untreated control section. The site is located on the westbound carriageway of the M4 between Junction 10 (Bracknell) and Junction 11 (Reading Central).

The control is located in lane 1 between MP63/8-12m and MP63/9 and the treated section between MP63/9 and MP64/0. The treatment was applied to a proprietary thin surface course system that was installed in December 2012. RHiNOPHALT ® applied to area of core 4 in July 2014, core 2 area left untreated, Cores removed 2016, after 18 months, 120,000 vehicles per day of which >10% HGV.

A Picture tells a Thousand words!

SCRIM and Texture measurements were also fully compliant with the contract specification. It is clear to see the aggregate loss occurring in Core 2 (untreated) compared with that of Core 4 (Treated with RHiNOPHALT^®)
