Micro Surfacing is a cold applied process, yielding a significant reduction in carbon emissions when compared to conventional hot applied asphalt systems (up to 90% reduction). Micro Surfacing can be applied as a single coat and two-coat process capable of regulating carriageway undulations and some delaminated surfaces, requiring minimal patching which in turn lowers costs and reduces disruption to local stakeholders.

 

EST is equipped with a fleet of specialist Micro Surfacing plant and equipment with highly experienced, multiskilled crews capable of installing materials to an industry leading standard. EST is a Sector Scheme 13 and UKCA accredited installer, conforming to ISO9001 standard, for Micro Surfacing, offering a range of products including Griptex® and our 'bespoke' advanced proprietary product Gripfibre®.

Microsurfacing

GRIPFIBRE®

 

EST, in collaboration with JLUK has developed Gripfibre®, an advanced Micro Surfacing that, in terms of skid resistance and durability has a track record second to none. The innovative aspect of Gripfibre® is the inclusion in the formula of synthetic fibres. These make it possible to apply gap-graded formulations without risk of segregation and thus ensures lasting surface texture. They also reduce the risk of emulsion drainage and loose chippings when the road is re-opened to traffic.


Gripfibre® is comprised of high PSV aggregates, unique Polymer Modified Bitumen emlusion manufactured by our in-house PolyBitumens facility, water and synthetic fibres, mixed in-situ with EST's range of self-propelled Micro Surfacing Applicators. Gripfibre® is a BBA HAPAS approved product, a patented proprietary product installed exclusively under licence by Eurovia worldwide.


Gripfibre® offers an effective and safe surfacing solution. The process represents an economic way to regenerate roadway surface characteristics in both rural and urban areas, where its low thickness eliminates the need to raise the level of joints, kerbs and most manholes. Gripfibre® has been proven to have exceptional retained skid resistance values (TRL Report 570).
