Multipatcher transforms road surfaces quicker, cheaper and
more effectively
The UK’s first-ever Multipatcher is part of Kiely Bros’
innovative solution to revolutionise pothole repairs and road surface dressing.
This new technology can simultaneously handle all road maintenance tasks, from
cleaning and preparing potholes, to delivering high-quality finished road
surfaces.
Originally imported from Australia, the Kiely Multipatcher
is the only machine in the UK than can carry out pothole repairs and patching
at both the front and rear of the vehicle. This dual function sets it apart
from other road maintenance equipment and increases its productivity. This
makes it unique in capability and efficiency as the Multipatcher can patch approximately
30 metres of road in under 3 minutes.
When compared to traditional road surfacing methods, the
Multipatcher is also safer as well as quicker. Unlike the usual methods that
require multiple crew members working on the road, the Multipatcher can be
operated by just one person from inside the safety of the cab. By removing
operatives from vulnerable road positions we significantly reduce the risk of
accidents and injuries. This also removes the need for expensive traffic
management costs as the machine can work on an open site, without the need for
road closures. The Multipatcher creates less disruption and makes road
maintenance operations more efficient, cheaper and safer for everyone involved.
The Multipatcher is not limited to pothole repairs alone. It
is also capable of completing small-scale surface dressing works, sealing road
strips, and restoring half-widths of carriageways. Its versatility means it can
tackle various road maintenance tasks, making it a cost-effective and efficient
choice for local authorities and contractors.
The new technology also comes with pioneering software that
can map where potholes were repaired. This means we can take before and after
pictures which can be used for invoicing or creating detailed reports on sites
where the Multipatcher has been used.
Mike Kiely, Managing Director of Kiely Bros, said “At Kiely
Bros we are committed to bringing the latest technological and innovative
solutions to local authorities and contractors in the UK. We believe the
Multipatcher has the ability to change the game in road maintenance by
providing quicker and cost-effective road surface dressing and repairs. New
technology is the future and we need new solutions to help us treat the backlog
of road maintenance repairs that are desperately needed”.
