| 摘要： | The Asphalt Industry Alliances (AIA) 2023 ALARM report found this year that 11 % of roads across the UK have been classified as red - meaning an overall poor condition -while the backlog to repair the roadways to an appropriate standard also increased by 11% to £14.02bn. Despite investment in critical repairs, the blight of potholes on our roads is growing in tandem with increasing road usage, vehicle weight, and weather volatility. It is becoming increasingly clear that costly, disruptive remedial works alone are not a viable solution. Rather, a long-term view of asset maintenance strategies is required in order to futureproof our network. Bitumen emulsions are an underutilised yet integral component of a sustainable, durable highway maintenance toolkit. Applied as part of a holistic asset management programme, they can intercede for us in the perpetual cycle of remedial pothole works while relieving pressure on UK road maintenance through material, resource, and environmental efficiencies. |
