Technical Notes 2024, Issue 8 - Roads & Environment 2023/24 Carriageway and Footway Resurfacing Programme (Quarter 3 Update)

Report by: 
Ann Davie, Chief Executive
TN Number: 
008-24
Subject: 
Roads & Environment 2023/24 Carriageway and Footway Resurfacing Programme (Quarter 3 Update)
Responsible Officer: 
Thomas McMenamin, Executive Officer – Roads & Neighbourhood
Publication: 
This Technical Note will be published on the Council’s website following circulation to Members. Its contents may be disclosed or shared out with the Council.
Details: 

1. The purpose of the Technical Note is to provide Members with an update on the 2023/24 Roads & Environment Carriageway and Footway Resurfacing Programme.

2. The Technical Note highlights the work programmes associated with internal and external resources as well as providing an indication to when this work is programmed to be undertaken.

3. In addition, the tables also highlight which locations have tested positive for the presence of coal tar as this work will be undertaken solely by external contractors, as the spoil created is considered a specialised waste and needs to be removed from site.

4. All works are logged via the Scottish Road Works Register (SRWR), so that the road space was booked with no conflicting works at the location or on the diversion routes (if required). If a location is marked TBC the booking has yet to be completed and will be arranged during the coming financial year. Dates are subject to change as emergency works may be prioritized.

5. The Service will provide a further quarterly progress update via a final Technical Notes in March 2024.

6. The overall programme is subject to change and may evolve during the year, as the Service must react to circumstances e.g., utility emergency work may require the Service to postpone or alter timescales to accommodate statutory service providers who may take priority in emergencies.

7. Cold Tar Testing is a requirement for planned resurfacing works that will also affect future programmes. Testing is ongoing and will shape which locations are progressed and by whom. Locations that test positive for Coal Tar will be undertaken by external resources due to the specialist nature of the waste materials created. This may delay the initial work if coal tar is detected.

8. The under noted table shows the 2023/24 Roads Carriageway Resurfacing Programme and the work will be completed by internal resources working on non-coal tar locations as part of core capital works.

14. The Service is in the process of renewing the contract to utilise an appointed external contractor to increase the volume of work being undertaken on behalf of the Council. Upon completion of the procurement process the tables within sections 10, 11, 12 and 13 will be updated later in the year.

15. In summary, the Service has completed 66 resurfacing locations (51 carriageway and 15 footway) in the first three quarters of the year which is 59% of the overall programme.
