These loosened defunct transition strips were contributing extensively to the localized failure of the road surfacing, which in turn was deforming the underlying bridge deck waterproof membrane.
R.A.B. Associates Ltd. chose to replace all these known problems with one product, "PERMATRACK."
The Permatrack Heavy Duty jointing medium is designed to accept heavy traffic conditions without the loss of adhesion to either steel, concrete or tarmac surrounds. It is capable of holding anti–skid mediums such as pre–coated chippings and bauxite etc. without the risk of these coatings being stripped off. Permatrack, having excellent rut resistance and fast laying techniques, allows for quick "open to traffic" without artificial curing aids.
Economical
System: All works were completed during a period of traffic
management which was actually in place for other items of maintenance
to be carried out. |

Once RAB removed the loose road surfacing the extent of the requirements became apparent. Using a conventional road saw and hydraulic breakers RAB excavated to around 40mm depth. | |

After
laying the Permatrack Heavy Duty system to form the transition strips
the road was open to traffic within 1 hour. |
