Objectives
IThe BBC approached THB to take up any rubber and tyre marks left on the road by cars and reinstate the road back to good condition
Challenges

Outcome
The Hydroblasting crew successfully and efficiently removed all rubber tyre marks from the affected areas, together with a Police motorcycle escort ensuring complete safety for our team. The Raptor unit was deployed due to the nature of the affected areas. Hydroblasting is the most environmentally friendly method of line removal, re-texturing asphalt and cleaning surfaces. Our hydroblaster uses clean water devoid of any additives at ultra high pressure to deep clean surfaces. Unlike other cleaning methods, our hydroblasters collect all of the dirt and debris into an onboard tank for, ensuring no illegal run off into surface drains. All waste is then disposed off in compliance with Environment agency and our Waste Carriers License.
