Footway slurry seal is a low-cost preventative maintenance treatment used to extend the life of a footway, and is included as one of a number of services covered under the existing Surrey County Council (‘SCC’) Highways Term Maintenance Contract.
The Footway Repair Treatment Programme has a relatively high profile as footway condition is often more prominent to local residents and communities and the impact of completed work (to the expected standard) is well received and creates positive outcomes in those areas.
Footway Slurry is a weather dependent treatment and the window for delivery closes early to late November and doesn’t reopen until early March, and there are limited providers of this specific treatment.
The intention of this award of contract is to increase a specialist resource in the SCC delivery programme, and to reduce the potential risks of delays to the programme, including deterioration of the footways if not surface treated at this time.
