@deptinfra @abcb_council @TrafficwatchNI @niroads @roadtozero Great to see investment in this facility. Rolling bottle still the best method imho.

👌 An asphalt pavement consists of different asphalt layers.
In general, the asphalt layers are paved on a bound or unbound road base layer. The first layer is called the surface course. The second layer is mostly called the binder course. The lower layers are the base courses.

@niroads @gaz3434 @CullionPlant @deptinfra Well said Wesley. Cycling in the big cities is a must because of population density. Likewise the motorway and major road network is built and maintained like a valuable asset should be...unlike here.

Q&A session with this morning’s speakers at #iatwesternbranch

[IAT Executive Director @IATDevelopment]

@deptinfra @SustransNI @RNIBNI @guidedogsni @ImtacNI @belfasthealthy @Age_NI @COPNI I agree with the sentiment but can DfI correct the terminology so that a lawyer can’t rip a hole in it? “In engineering, a pavement is a man-made surface on natural ground that people, vehicles or animals can cross. Any ground surface prepared for transport counts as a pavement.

Our first Northern Ireland branch meeting in quite some time. It’s great to be back and welcome our CIHT colleagues.

[Abatech Inc - with Geoff Rowe @AbatechInc]

Took this photo this week week - result of end of truck segregation - pavement 2 years old - engineers need to learn the practice in https://t.co/mCMAY3h10p so as to avoid these issues. Balance mix plant production with paving production. Implement good paving/rolling practice.

@VisTran @mrpotholeuk B is probably Mastic Asphalt, increasingly used for this purpose. I'm not sure the joint or gully sides were painted here either though.

[IAT Executive Director @IATDevelopment]

@JacksonMinford @HeadNICS @DavidNPorter @deptinfra Jackson, you'd be wasted. Today's so called " Engineers" in @deptinfra dont know the difference between HRA and Asphalt Concrete. Lack of training and desire for life long learning to blame.
