Tender description

In-Situ recycling patching works is an innovative highway maintenance technique that eliminates the need for traditional excavation and planing. This approach significantly reduces the costs and environmental impacts associated with material disposal and removes the requirement to handle tar-bound materials, which can be a costly and complex process. Unlike conventional repair methods, In-Situ recycling patching technique delivers a homogeneous repair with a seamless thermal bond, preventing water ingress and reducing the risk of premature failure. The process is fast, efficient, cost-effective, and suitable for use on all asphalt types.
