Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Award winning cavity fixings from Lindapter from Lindapter: "Range of award winning cavity fixings from Lindapter include the HB Hollo-Bolt which is suitable for hollow sections, tubes and where access is available from one side only. ".

In September 2011, we covered the news from Ronacrete - take a look at Ronacrete repair for Manchester orbital motorway which says: "Contractors NMS specified RonaRoad Manhole Mortar and RonaRoad EcoPatch Pothole Repair for repairs on the M60 in Manchester.".
