Yet another DSA success...
...FCL crosses the border to Scotland to remove successfully the excess bitumen from 5,000m² of newly laid Tarmac “Masterpave”.

This preferred product selected specially for these sites would usually rely on traffic to remove the film of binder that is left after surfacing.

These motor cycle test areas require immediate skid resistance to be suitable for the purpose intended

It has been proved that Osprey3000 gives a suitable uniform level of binder removal and is fast becoming the preferred method by asphalt contractors.
