IKO Road: A new journey for old friends

摘要

IKO Road is testament to the excellent reputation that our road surface repair and maintenance materials have gained throughout the highways industry. It's a triumphant story that dates back to the use of mastic asphalt surfacing on some of the UK's most iconic bridges, including the original Severn Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge. It wasn't until 2013 that IKO Highways & Civils became a division dedicated to the use of mastic asphalt on highways. The emergence of the IKO Permatrack H bridge joint system in the early years consolidated the company's reputation as an innovator in mastic asphalt materials and as the product's profile grew, so did the prominence of the applications it was specified for, particularly the Permatrack H inlaid crack repair system. The range of Permatrack mastic asphalt refurbishment installations also increased. Hence, as part of IKO's Highways & Civils offering, they were put to effective use on projects at Southampton Docks (2013), an elevated section of the M4 motorway at Chiswick (2014), and numerous bridge joints and concrete bay joints on the M25 Motorway network in recent years (2018, 2019 and 2020).
