Pavadentro - NBT new woodfibre insulation board
Natural Building Technologies has launched an innovative new woodfibre insulation board targeted specifically at the repair and refurbishment markets.
In fact, the great news is that the firm has the technology to repair the average pothole in 20 minutes! Gary Gibson, the Managing Director of Nu-Phalt Scotland, said, "Our Nu-Phalt In-Situ Asphalt Recycling System is a new, easy way to repair potholes in a fast, cost effective and environmentally sensitive manner.
"The innovative process recycles the existing road surface material in-situ and produces a heat-sealed repair that re-establishes the original integrity of the treated surface to create a thermo-bond between the repair area and the existing road surface.
It creates a near seamless joint and extends its performance life to give a longer lasting repair".

HSE warning on asbestos prosecutions
Redhill Analysts is offering refurbishment and demolition advice, asbestos consultancy services to ensure clients keep in line with CAR 2006.
The system has been designed to be fully self-contained within a single vehicle.
The full recycling operation is completed by a two-man team, eliminating the requirement for multiple operative attendance on small repair areas.
Equally effective on both urban roads and rural locations, the single vehicle system is mobile, flexible and able to access repair areas quickly.
Meanwhile, the compact recycling system avoids unnecessarily complex phasing and reduces traffic disruption by minimising both the closure area and closure period.
Indeed, the innovative process has been specifically designed to minimise the risk and impact of the works to operators, the surrounding environment and general public.
Not only does the vehicle system incorporate a motorised hoist to minimise manual handling for operators, but the recycling process does not involve any jack hammering, saw cutting or breaking out, thereby reducing the physical impact on the operators and eliminating the major vibration elements from the road repair.
Furthermore, Nu-Phalt Scotland has reduced the cost of road remedial works to its customers by more than half in many instances when compared to the cost of traditional repair methods.
As well as offering its revolutionary process to the road departments of local authorities throughout Scotland, Nu-Phalt Scotland is targeting utility companies and property developers and contractors.
