  • The problem with potholes

    UK roads are in poor condition (11% are red condition, 27% are amber). Fixing the problem is expensive - a one-off catch-up is estimated at £11.4bn. Current repair methods are ineffective, slow, disruptive and expensive. A new approach is needed - one that is cheaper, faster, safer and better for the environment.

  • The market

    Cracked road surfaces are a danger to users. Fixing small cracks costs 10% of pothole repair. Repairing potholes costs billions of pounds. Repairing cracks early saves money and makes roads safer.

  • The solution

    Laser scanning technology identifies and quantifies cracks before they cause potholes. Cracks are repaired with injected sealant. Repairs occur automatically. The result is stronger, safer roads,

  • SmartSeal™

    SmartSeal™ reduces repair expenditure and disruption. It improves safety for road users, workers and self-driving cars. It is a high-speed autonomous system offering AI-driven repairs and data collection for future road maintenance.. SmartSeal™ is an environmentally-friendly solution for the future.

Project progress.

Having conducted a comprehensive feasibility study and carried out early initial crack scanning, our team has built a prototype that measures size and location and deposits the correct amount of sealant using a single nozzle control solution. Watch our progress video

Next steps.

  • Undertake trials with a single nozzle system for joint sealing

  • Develop a 500mm wide multiple nozzle system for crack sealing

  • Carry out road testing with Highways England and local authorities

  • Work with trusted industry partners to bring this project to market
