John Meehan knows he is facing a challenge: 'It is not going to be the easiest market to change. Our product is an innovation. We see people talk about innovation in winter when it comes to fleet or sensors, but in terms of what we put on the roads to stop them freezing, there is very little. We are still putting down dry salt and pre-wet salt. The industry needs to look at what it puts on the ground to prevent it from freezing. Brine Solutions is in a prime position to provide that innovation.' Spraying Liquid solutions on roads as part of winter maintenance is a technique regularly used elsewhere in the world. It has been discussed for many years in the UK and is used on sections on the network, though tentatively it would seem - or in select locations - mainly to limit the corrosion from salt. What then does Brine Solutions offer that can change the mindset? Firstly, Mr Meehan has around 20 years of experience in the winter service sector in the UK and Ireland as a contractor applying pre-wet salt. He has tailored Brine Solution's Eco-Thaw range of products (Premium, Plus and Structures) to the UK market on price, production, effectiveness, environmental credentials and through its independent testing regime. |
