On the motorway emergency areas they have introduced RapidGrip, a highly skid-resistant, and colour-stable surfacing material developed by the Smart Motorway Partnership (SMP) Alliance. Replacing the traditional two-coat system, RapidGrip achieves bright orange visibility in a single application, reducing construction time, safety risks, and public disruption.
This lean solution enhances efficiency by minimising nightshifts and traffic management, while ensuring consistent compliance with skid and texture standards. RapidGrip also delivers cost and resource savings, aligning with sustainability goals and setting a benchmark for safer, faster, and greener road construction.
By replacing the two-coat system with a single-application solution, it tackles challenges like extended construction time, safety risks, and public disruption, as well as reducing nightshifts, traffic management needs, and worker exposure to hazards while ensuring consistent compliance with skid and texture standards. Its lean approach eliminates unnecessary steps, reduces waste, and lowers costs and carbon emissions.
