A previous study (McHale et al, 2011) identified that a substantial proportion of sites in Scotland with a Thin Surface Course System (TSCS) were deteriorating through severe fretting and that initiation of this fretting was often associated with the longitudinal construction joints while the remainder of the surfacing was in a satisfactory condition. Further work undertaken for the Collaborative Research Programme on sites in England recommended that a review be undertaken into the available techniques of repairing these joints, thus enabling the life span of the surfacing to be extended, without the need for complete re-surfacing. TRL was subsequently commissioned to undertake a review and identify a range of different products, techniques and machinery that are currently available for repairing joints in TSCS. The results of the review are summarised in this report. |
