Overview

The RSTA is a sector wide community of resources that provides technical support and training, with an aim to raise awareness of the range and benefits of road surface treatments, to help our sector maintain the UKs greatest asset.

This presentation will identify types of surface treatments. When and why we apply them, and what they achieve. This will include early life preventative treatments to include preservation/rejuvenation, surface dressing, retexturing and microasphalt.

This will also include alternative methods of road reconstruction to end of life roads, through in-situ recycling.

Whilst these treatments offer better value for money through a longer-term maintenance strategy, we can also demonstrate significant carbon savings, supporting our carbon reduction savings towards achieving net zero by 2035.

Misunderstandings or misconceptions exist within the industry in relation to some of these treatments which may be preventing authorities adopting these treatments, and the presentation aims to address these through shared experiences and documented case studies.
