Highway Data Systems have joined the Road Surface Treatments Association (RSTA).
The company will help RSTA with its mission to be the trusted voice of the UK highways industry on road surface treatments solutions, helping to improve standards and training as well as effectively communicate the good work of its members as they deliver vital highway maintenance around the country.
This new membership, with more to follow, marks a strong start to the year for the RSTA which is making significant progress with its new three-year strategy, the Road Ahead. Road Ahead aims to build on the comprehensive body of work undertaken by the association since 2008.
Ruairi Charlesworth, Development Manager at Highway Data Systems, said: “Highway Data Systems are at the forefront of innovation in highways maintenance and construction. We decided that we could adapt our already successful automated materials testing systems for asphalt construction to microsurfacing and the RSTA seemed like the best body to get guidance on how to achieve this technically and to share the innovation with the highways community. We’re delighted to be members and will look forward to participating as fully as possible.”
The company builds hardware and software systems that are used by leading contractors to provide essential quality assurance for the UK’s most important infrastructure. It is the only company dedicated to using only automated technology for achieving materials testing processes. The company is a UKAS accredited materials testing laboratory and promotes productivity improvement, better health and safety and 21st Century asset management.
