HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE 2014

Delivering Now for Future Resilience and Efficiency

Now in its 16th year, Surveyor's annual Highway Maintenance conference remains the industry's trusted source to arm highway practitioners, and features contemporary insights and practical advice vital to maintaining our essential transport infrastructure.

The beginning of 2014 saw a succession of floods across the country over a sustained period. The frequency and volume of flooding is having a severe effect on UK roads and their rate of deterioration since the first extreme floods took place in 2007.

Highway Maintenance will consider the development of SUDS within local authority areas and take a more holistic look at flooding on the road network. There will be a focus on how councils are currently tackling the challenge severe flooding presents, as well as considering how implementing strategies now will make them more resilient in the future.

For the first time ever the conference will include break-out conference sessions focusing on flooding and the development of SUDS on the road network .
