At Asphalt Group, we believe that the road to a sustainable future is paved with innovation, commitment, and a relentless drive to make our planet cleaner and greener. In this blog, we’re excited to share how we are dedicated to this mission and how Adfors GlasGrid Pavement Reinforcement Solutions play a crucial role in our journey towards more eco-friendly roadways.
Sustainability in very mile
For over 30 years, Asphalt Group has been at the forefront of road construction and maintenance. We understand that our roads are more than just pathways for vehicles; they are lifelines that connect communities and enable progress. As stewards of these vital networks, it’s our responsibility to ensure they are built to last and built sustainably.
Building durable roads has traditionally meant using a lot of resources, which isn’t always friendly to the environment. We recognised this challenge and embarked on a journey to find solutions that would allow us to maintain the highest standards of quality while reducing our environmental footprint.
A sustainable game-changer
Adfors GlasGrid Pavement Reinforcement Solutions emerged as a game-changer in our quest for greener roads. This innovative technology, with its alkali-resistant glass fibre mesh, epoxy resin coating, and grid-like structure, helps us build longer-lasting, more resilient roads, while minimising environmental impact.
The green benefits of GlasGrid
- Extended pavement lifespan: GlasGrid reinforces asphalt surfaces, reducing the occurrence of cracks and potholes. This means fewer repairs and less resource-intensive maintenance over time.
- Reduced waste: By preventing premature road deterioration, GlasGrid helps us cut down on the disposal of old asphalt and the production of new materials, reducing waste and conserving resources.
- Energy savings: Smooth, well-maintained roads lead to better fuel efficiency for vehicles, contributing to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
- Sustainable materials: Adfors GlasGrid is designed to be environmentally friendly, with materials chosen to minimise the impact on the planet.
Our commitment to sustainability
At Asphalt Group, we’re not just using GlasGrid; we’re integrating it into our sustainability ethos:
- Education and training: We ensure that our teams are well-trained in the proper installation of GlasGrid to maximise its effectiveness and sustainability benefits.
- Continuous improvement: We actively seek out new technologies and practices that align with our sustainability goals, ensuring that we stay at the forefront of environmentally responsible road construction.
- Community engagement: We engage with local communities and stakeholders to raise awareness about the benefits of sustainable road construction and the role GlasGrid plays in it.
