Nu-Phalt Ltd is committed to excellence in Health and Safety and constantly seeks to ensure the Infrared Road Repair System achieves the highest industry safety accreditations. The latest of these is BBA HAPAS Agrément Certification, making Nu-Phalt Ltd the only infrared road repair company with full accreditation for the process. BBA HAPAS Agrément Certificates are recognised by specifiers and other industry decision-makers as proof that the products, materials and processes covered by them have been assessed and will allow compliance with Highway Regulations to be achieved. They remove the need for individual authorities to carry out their own assessments and tests. The approval process involves laboratory and witness testing, site inspection and evaluation of the source of production of the material under assessment.

Nu-Phalt Wins 'Best New Product' in Green Business Awards

7th November 2008

Nu-Phalt Ltd is the recipient of a prestigious Green Business Award, thanks to its infrared system's environmental benefits over traditional road repair methods. The system's ability to dramatically reduce the carbon emissions of road and pothole repairs helped Nu-Phalt win BestNew Product after a rigorous entry and shortlisting process from a judging panel of Government and environment experts.

The Nu-Phalt system uses a patented infrared heater and releases just one seventh of the CO2 of traditional road repair, independently verified by the Scottish Institute of Sustainable Technology, as well as being more cost-effective, quicker and less disruptive. The Green Business Award judging panel, which included Prof. John Chesshire OBE of the Government's Sustainable Energy Policy Advisory Board, praised Nu-Phalt's system as "a glowing example of eco-innovation", saying "rarely can environmental improvements claim such all-round benefits".

Potholes and other road defects are a nuisance which cost the taxpayer over £62 million a year in repairs and compensation claims. With a backlog of repairs that will take 11 years to clear, local authorities are being urged by Nu-Phalt to switch to the infrared system, citing its cost, operational, and award-winning eco benefits as the key to improving Britain’s roads.

Nu-Phalt’s Sales & Marketing Manager Emma Stevens, pictured here with Mock The Week's Hugh Dennis at the awards, said "the system underwent four years of research and development to ensure it has the best environmental credentials possible. We’re delighted to have been recognised in this area as it's an essential part of our company ethos and sends the message to customers that fixing potholes needn't cost the earth."

Ed Miliband, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, made a speech at the awards confirming the Government's support to businesses that deliver environmental benefits at the core of their service offering.
