At Elite Markings Ltd, we know that a busy retail environment never truly stops. That’s why proactive maintenance is essential to keeping sites safe and accessible for shoppers. We recently headed to Pontyclun, Wales, to carry out vital surface repairs at the popular Talbot Green Shopping Park.
Strategic Repairs in High-Traffic Zones
The Shopping Park is one of the busiest retail destinations in the area, meaning the road surfaces are under constant pressure from heavy vehicle flow. We identified several areas where the asphalt was beginning to deteriorate. If left untreated, these small issues can quickly turn into costly safety hazards.
Our team focused on two key areas of repair:
- Pothole Repair: Using our advanced hot-applied Road Mender system, we filled and sealed potholes to restore a smooth, level surface.
- Surface Crack Repair: We treated emerging cracks to prevent water ingress, which is the leading cause of surface “break-up” during the winter months.
Why We Use Hot-Applied Road Mender
For a busy site like Talbot Green, we utilize the hot-applied Road Mender because of its incredible bonding properties and durability. Unlike traditional “cold-fill” methods that can often be a temporary fix, our hot-applied solution:
- Bonds Instantly: It fuses with the existing road surface for a seamless repair.
- Long-Lasting: It is specifically designed to withstand the high-torque movements of cars and delivery vehicles.
- Rapid Set Time: This allows us to complete repairs quickly, ensuring the retail park remains open and safe for customers with minimal downtime.
Prolonging the Life of the Surface
The goal of this project wasn’t just to fix a hole; it was about asset protection. By sealing the cracks and repairing the potholes now, we have helped the management at Talbot Green prolong the life of their road surface and avoid the need for a full, expensive resurfacing project in the near future.
As with all our work across Wales and the South West, these repairs are backed by our 2-year guarantee, ensuring the retail park stays in “Elite” condition regardless of the weather.
