Choosing the right treatment: 5 questions to ask on site
Use this as a field aid, then confirm option fit in the Selection Guide.
The 5 questions
- Surface or structural? This changes the treatment choice.
- Is moisture present? Water drives recurrence.
- What’s the loading? HGV routes need different thinking.
- Are edges sound? Weak edges break out quickly.
- Is it a repeat location? Repeat = root cause not addressed.
These questions stop teams defaulting to the fastest patch when the location needs a longer-life solution.
