Extend the life of your roads with
Prevention is better than cure. Velocity is helping local authorities to extend the life of assets that are currently in a good condition with the application of EVERPHALT®, a proven preservative treatment.
EVERPHALT® is applied to pavements in good to fair condition benefiting from protecting. Depending on local climate and traffic loads, pavements typically retain their treated condition for 5 to 7 years or more. Repeat treatments, typically at progressively lower application rates, continue to preserve pavements for further 5 to 7 years periods in substantively the same condition as the first and previous treatments.
With our knowledge and experience of maintaining the UK’s local road network, we deliver a turn-key service for effective preservation projects. Our dedicated team manage projects from initial inspection to delivery including all elements of the supply chain.
Customers can be confident they are in good hands, with the knowledge that their assets are protected with a proven product.
HAPAS approved and REACH compliant EVERPHALT® is a solvent-based Uintaite Gilsonite®fortified bituminous asphalt preservative for which Velocity holds exclusive delivery rights to all roads and highways in the UK. Gilsonite® fortified formulations were introduced to the UK in 2003 by the founders of CNRG Technologies whose continuous refinement of the chemistry and manufacturing process is now embodied in EVERPHALT®.
Over time as asphalt ages micro cracks form in the surface course allowing water and oxygen to penetrate accelerating the rate of deterioration by weakening the aggregate-bitumen bond.
Everphalt is a solvent based bituminous liquid that delivers a powerful boost of the hydrocarbons that the binder needs to be effective
This highly resinous material chemically impregnates the road surface delivering the negative ions needed to make the binder, “bind”
When is cures – in around 30 minutes – it leaves a powerful weather-proof surface. It is essential for the most extreme weather conditions and perfect for the UK’s road network
Working with local authorities and asset managers throughout the UK, we have preserved millions of square metres of asphalt.
From rural roads to vitally important motorway junctions, preservation minimises inconvenience for road users as well as preventing defects from occurring.
Installation is carried out with just one machine, usually operating at night under road closure.
Following a pre-sweep, the product is quietly sprayed on to the road surface with just one pass of the machine. No compaction of heavy equipment is required, and because the profile of the road is maintained there is no need to raise ironworks, kerb heights or thresholds.
Surface texture is maintained and grip restored with the application of a fine grit/dust.
Up to 30,000m2 can be treated per shift, with no need for aftercare or remedial works.
A rapid curing time means that line markings can be applied in the same closure window, with the road reopened for traffic comfortably in time for traffic.
Velocity have invested in the latest technology to ensure high-quality installation, every time.
The state-of-the-art synchronous sprayer-spreader ensures that the application rates are consistently performed to deliver the optimal result.
Fully self-contained, the machine applies the treatment in just one pass, operated from within the cab.
Application is carried out by a single machine allowing for an efficient operation, minimising disruption for the public and reducing the carbon emissions associated with multiple vehicles and plant.
The telescopic spreader bar extends to a width of 4.4m, ensuring all areas of the surface are treated. Sensors on the vehicle automatically retract the width of the spreader bar on detection of any pedestrians, kerbs, street furniture or other obstacles, preventing undesired application. Electronic controls in the cab allow the driver to easily adjust the width manually.
