The Infrared technology in action

A SCOTS company has harnessed infra-red technology to fix potholes without the usual noise and disruption of traditional road-works.

And they have now been given a six month contract from Fife Council to repair the roads in the Kingdom quicker and greener than other methods.

But it’s not the first successful contract for Nu-Phalt, who now supply their unique machines to countries around the world including America, India and Hungary.

The technology is a world first and uses LEDs to heat up the pothole before adding fresh tarmac to the mix.
