Engaging in proactive highway maintenance is the focus on this week’s Highways Voices podcast – with Dr Howard Robinson, MD of ASI Solutions and former Chief Executive of the Road Surface Treatments Association interviewed by presenter Paul Hutton.
Paul and Howard explore the subject of proactive highway maintenance and the need for local authorities and those contractors that work on behalf of councils to strike a balance between reactive and proactive maintenance as part of a proactive asset management plan.
In this episode Howard talks about how RHINOPHALT asphalt preservation is helping protect and preserve both the local and national network, keeping it in a better condition for longer. He also tells Paul why the funding mechanism for highways maintenance needs to change to help incentivise local authorities to be more proactive in their use of surface treatments and why that will lead to less reactive spending in the future.
Now more than ever, increasing numbers of roads asset managers are seeing the economic and sustainable benefits of whole carbon and cost lifecycle management and harnessing proactive surface treatments to maintain their networks, stretching their budgets and significantly reducing their carbon.
