What to expect

“These technical events offer an opportunity for technicians, engineers, asset managers or directors to come together to share ideas and experiences, discuss best practice, and provide inspiration about how they might approach their road maintenance strategy differently. Making best use of highways funding, informing proposals for decarbonisation of road maintenance, whilst addressing the pothole crisis facing the UK.”
