Supply Installation and ongoing Maintenance of 5t Asphalt

Description

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, Highway Authority, had a duty to maintain the Highway network within the Borough of Sandwell. Officers from Highways Services have explored a number of options that seek to improve the efficiency of the Highway Maintenance service. Sandwell's current road maintenance practices rely heavily on the supply and delivery of hot mix asphalt, which can be considered as costly, time-sensitive, and environmentally taxing. To address these challenges, Sandwell MBC Highways have sought to purchase an asphalt recycler that allows the production of hot asphalt using reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and minimal new materials. There is a requirement to construct and Install a dedicated canopy to enable aggregate materials to be kept dry prior to Recycling and maintenance of the asphalt recycler.
