Micro Asphalt is a preventative maintenance process which is used
to protect a road against environmental damage and also helps to
level minor surface irregularities. It is proven to provide an
economic solution to maintaining a road network.
The process must be carried out between April and October, as
certain temperature and dry conditions are essential. As only a
handful of National Contractors are available to carry out this
work, each local authority is required to slot in with a national
programme.
Prior to the work being carried out, the team will spend much of
the previous year arranging for foundation repairs to be carried
out ahead of the surfacing. Our contractor has programmed the work
to start in April 2019.
Alternative options considered:
Option 1 - lternative option would be to
cancel which would be of detriment of the authority undertaking its
statutory and would cost the authority more in the long term
therefore rejected.
Option 2 -
Option 3 -
