Roads

ASI’s cost-effective asphalt preservation treatment could double the asphalt road surface service life for half the cost compared to resurfacing, if two treatments are made in 10 years, keeping your roads that are in green or light amber condition in a better state for longer.

Your road, whether its a principal or minor carriageway, bus route or strategic motorway is a valuable asset, often with a design life of many years. However, the surface of that road will be degrading from the moment it is installed. Over time, the bitumen binder oxidises due to weathering and UV, leading to stone loss, ravelling and potholes which cause a danger to the users of your road and leave you open to potential insurance claims. If left unchecked, the binder course and base course can also be exposed leading to more serious problems.

Reactive maintenance such as patching and inlays are expensive, disruptive and often only provide a temporary solution before full resurfacing is required. Treating a road with Rhinophalt® when it is still in green or light amber condition, i.e. before defects start to become apparent is a great way to improve your road network, save you money and improve road user experience.

Rhinophalt® seals and preserves the surface of the road, reducing the rate of deterioration, reducing maintence costs, and extends road surface life. Because Rhinophalt® penetrates into the surface, no adjustments are needed to ironwork or kerb heights and there is surplus stone which could cause windscreen and stonechip damage. Rhinophalt® can be used on all asphalt surfaces, can have repeated applications, which can be slurried,/micro’d or surface dressed to extend life even further.

Rhinophalt® is an essential tool in highway asset management programmes, fitting alongside traditional treatments.

By preserving the asphalt surface with Rhinophalt® and protecting the pavement, making it last longer, is one of the most sustainable asphalt maintenance systems available. Extending the life of the surface course by up to 100% reduces the number of times you need to resurface as well as reduce reactive maintenance. Sustainability through preservation conserves the valuable mineral resources and fossil fuel binders.

ASI’s innovative product range offers cost effective, proven, long lasting maintenance solutions to road owners and asset managers with the original, authentic and trusted source of asphalt preservation in the UK and around the world.

The benefits of RHINOPHALT® are:

  • Cost effective-can cost half the price of resurfacing
  • Fits alongside any other surface treatment
  • Contains the original US Gilsonite-a resin which is much harder than bitumen-proven over 40 years of global preservation
  • Speedy (or night) application up to 30,000m² per night- which minimises closures
  • Extension to the life of the asphalt, delaying the need for resurfacing and the disruption this causes
  • Reduction in ongoing maintenance-saving money and reducing complaints
  • Substantial whole life cost reductions-meeting requirements of good asset planning
  • Reduction in the environmental impact of maintenance-applying RHINOPHALT® – more than 90% carbon savings can be achieved compared to resurfacing.

Over the last few year's our asphalt preservation webinars have given several local authorities and other organisations a true insight into the benefits of Rhinophalt®, asphalt preservation in the UK and around the globe.

The webinars go into detail about why preservation is important and the benefits of using Rhinophalt®, they explain the simple and cost-effective application process and why it is important to use a trusted, original and authentic source of asphalt preservation.
