Thermal cracking is one of the most overlooked forms of asphalt deterioration in the UK. While heavy traffic and drainage failures are frequently discussed, temperature fluctuation alone can cause significant surface damage over time. The UK climate, although moderate compared to extreme continental regions, still exposes asphalt to repeated cycles…

Surface rutting is one of the most frequent problems seen in high-traffic yard areas across the UK. It appears as depressions or grooves forming along wheel paths, particularly where heavy vehicles repeatedly follow the same route. Over time, these ruts deepen, hold water and compromise both safety and structural integrity.…

Modern asphalt roads are built in layers, with each layer performing a specific structural function. While most people focus on the visible surface, the strength and durability of a road depend heavily on what lies beneath. Two of the most important asphalt layers are the binder course and the wearing…
