Eliminating Motorcycle Risk
Eliminating Motorcycle Risk
Motorcycles are particularly vulnerable to highway defects especially with wide open longitudinal joints where wheels could get ‘stuck-in-a-rut’
Using Jointmaster HAPAS approved products, we can fill and seal these defects and leave an approved skid resistant finish on the surface creating a safe driving environment for motorcyclists.
See the photos where Jointmaster was used on this site which was specifically highlighted as a potential motor cycle accident site.

The centre joint along the A1123 approaching the Cambridgeshire village of Wicken had been showing signs of deterioration and this had increased following the cold snap during the winter. Officers were concerned that this posed a significant risk to motorcyclists and therefore repairs were required.
Cambridgeshire has a proven working history with Rhino who are one of Milestones supply chain working on the Cambridgeshire Highway contract.
Officers met with Milestone and Rhino representatives on site, agreed the extent of the work, traffic management requirements and specification of the repair.

“This is a route that I regularly drive and ride, the A1123 is a well-used road and this section has many visitors heading towards the National Trust Wicken Fen site. It is very important that my team are targeting these types of locations with the resources that we have available. I was extremely impressed with the repairs carried out by Rhino, the swift response to the initial contact, expert advice given regarding type of repair, the way the work was planned and executed on site and in particular the quality of the repair. The very cold spell that was experienced during this winter has created many challenges for us with our network and Rhino offer a wide range of repairs solutions that are assisting us keeping our network safe”.
