Central Bedfordshire Council, GB trials new technology to repair roads with existing road surface

Central Bedfordshire Council, GB trials road repair tech

In Progress

Central Bedfordshire Council is conducting a trial of new technology to repair local roads. The process involves heating the existing road surface to 200 degrees Celsius at a depth of 30mm. The road is then flattened by a roller followed by the addition of a hot thin surface. This innovative method reduces waste and saves the Council time and money by recycling existing road surface.

New technology cuts the cost of road repairs - We have been out and about trialling new technology to repair local roads. The new machine recycles the existing road surface, which both saves money and cuts down on the repair time compared to traditional resurfacing techniques.
