Transport Research Laboratory state "Prevention is better than cure" for potholes

In Feb 2022 a survey device capable of monitoring road condition will be launched on to the UK market. It is capable of finding minor changes in road surfaces so that pot holes can be detected as they start to happen, this allows authorities to rectify an issue before it becomes costly.

TRL report on potholes stated "prevention is better than Cure" since this finding 10 years ago we have not changed the way we do things and the pothole problem is getting worse.

Using this specialist equipment, together with the skills in the Lincolnshire Laboratory we can reduce the impact and costs of fixing potholes.
