It’s the ultimate recycling, making new roads from old.
While engineering companies are working round the clock to manufacture ventilators, hand sanitiser and face masks to keep people safe and restrict the spread of the COVID-19 virus, Sheffield based Roadmender Asphalt is doing what it can to help Local Councils and Utilities to keep up with emergency repairs to pot holes and utility assets.
With some asphalt plants now closing across the country, Local Councils and Utilities will still be able to turn to small asphalt recycling plants as a way to make their own asphalt to carry out emergency repairs to pot holes, leaks and bursts.
Harry Pearl, CEO at Sheffield based Roadmender Asphalt, the company that developed the process said, “While we currently have 75 Roadmender recyclers and reclaimers in use with various clients across the UK, we are doing everything we can to make more machines available and hope to have a further 25 additional Roadmender recycling machines and reclaimers ready for action.”
