Highway sector

Highways are the lifeblood to any successful economy and with an ever-increasing number of vehicles to support in addition to rising freight usage on the roads, investment into highways continues to feature heavily as part of Government policy worldwide.

It isn’t difficult to see the progress being made in highways, with new infrastructure being built, in addition to the ongoing improvements and highway maintenance programmes.  As a result, there are many challenges to be resolved; from cost savings to minimising environmental impact in addition to meeting stringent global carbon emission targets.

Working in partnership with contractors and civil engineering specialists all over the world, Triton Norway provides a range of solutions to meet challenges specific to the highways sector.

solving Challenges Specific To The highway sector

Protecting underground structures from water damage

AOP (Advanced Osmotic Pulse) is a system that utilises advanced electro-osmotic technology specifically designed to remove moisture from porous underground structures and ensures that the structure remains in a permanently dry state.  

managing water in earthworks to prevent landslips and landslides

The WET (Water Extraction & Transfer) system offers a new and innovative approach to actively managing and controlling water content in earthworks as part of an active management solution.

reducing plastic materials cost & minimising waste

Polymer is a patented system that can even turn single use plastic into high-grade reusable granulates that can be recycled multiple times.  For the highways sector the benefits are two-fold.  First of all, material containing plastic can be recycled as part of the circular economy, and secondly, the recycled material can be manufactured into new products and reused – for example in drainage, which means efficiency and cost savings and environmental benefits to be gained.

Minimising The Environmental Cost Of Concrete Without Compromising Quality​

Tritonite enables the volume of cement to be reduced in a mix to deliver the same grade, saving in cost and carbon. Also the use of sub-grade sand and aggregates to achieve same strength. Stronger concretes allows for a ‘slimmed down’ design, saving in all materials with cost, time and green benefits.
