00:00My name is Charles Rastel, I'm the operations manager for Keir at Shropshire. We've just
00:24carried out a Roadmaster repair on the Shear Road. How that works is that the Roadmaster
00:29comes down with the option to drive in the vehicle and he'll assess the area for the defect.
00:34He will then use the machine to blow out the area to clear any debris from the defect itself.
00:48He will then apply some emulsion to that area.
00:59And then top off the 6mm stone.
01:05Once that's been all completed, he will then use the sweeping tool to sweep off the area
01:10to clear any excess material.
01:12If we're finally rolling over the patched area, make it smooth.
01:17Hi, my name is Tom Dainty. I'm the Deputy Cabinet Member of Highways and Environment at Shropshire Council.
01:31Here in Shropshire, we have one of the largest road networks in the entire country,
01:35everything from A roads to farm roads.
01:37The administration really understands that these roads are the lifeblood of Shropshire
01:42and we need to make sure that our rural roads are ticking along nicely
01:45and communities can continue to operate from all over the county.
01:49The Roadmasters that we've got, two of them, are absolutely fantastic.
01:53They're single man operated, so there's not man power wasted at all.
01:56They turn up at job sites, they do a quick survey and they blast through the jobs.
02:00And as you can see, the road is open again within minutes
02:03and the road muster can get onto the next defect that it needs to repair.
