Partnership approach pays off on Berkshire repair job

摘要

When the condition of a 3km stretch of the A404 trunk road near Maidenhead in Berkshire became a serious problem, resurfacing the carriageway with traditional materials was not the only route forward. EnterpriseMouchel, the managing agents for Area 3 on behalf of the Highways Agency in the Thames Valley and Central Southern England, approached Tarmac National Contracting to provide the best technical solution for repairing the carriageway within tight timescales. To give a new lease of life to the A404, between junction 8 / 9 of the M4 and the A4, Tarmac's technical team was tasked with providing a quick, effective and durable solution to repair the road. Around 6, 600 tonnes of Masterlayer, a strong, flexible binder course and Masterflex, a thin surface course was laid by Tarmac National Contracting during two weekend possessions in August.
