Potholes have long been a scourge of UK roads, leading to public frustration, increased vehicle damage, and costly repairs. Recently, Transport Secretary Louise Haigh MP pledged to tackle this persistent issue, highlighting the government’s commitment to fixing the "pothole plague" through innovative solutions and modern repair technology. SHIMPAC® is a game-changer in this arena. Our ROADSHIMS® and GULLEY COLLARS® have been meticulously engineered to provide millimetre-precise ironwork seating, ensuring perfect alignment with the road surface. This precision eliminates the potential for water ingress – a major culprit behind potholes – and prevents system failure under the immense compression and shear forces from heavy vehicles. With SHIMPAC®, road users and local authorities alike benefit from ironwork that lasts the lifetime of the road, providing long-term protection and reducing the frequency of costly repairs. As the government seeks to tackle the pothole crisis, SHIMPAC® stands as the ideal partner. Our cutting-edge ROADSHIMS® and GULLY COLLARS® offer an immediate and long-term solution to the 20% of potholes caused by failing ironwork, directly addressing one of the biggest contributors to pothole formation. By aligning with the government's priorities of efficiency, cost-saving, and safety, SHIMPAC® delivers a proven solution that supports the Transport Secretary’s commitment to ending the pothole plague once and for all. #SHIMPAC #Ironwork #Potholes #PotholePlague #ROADSHIMS #GULLYCOLLARS #Government #Parliament #Government

Precision Engineering at its Best with SHIMPAC® SHIMPAC® has been meticulously engineered for mm precision, ensuring ironwork is perfectly aligned with the road surface. Thanks to varying lengths and thicknesses of SHIMPAC®'s ROADSHIMS®, the system delivers flawless accuracy, eradicating failures under shear and compression forces. What’s more, this precise alignment eliminates water ingress – the leading cause of road surface deterioration and the first step towards those dreaded potholes. With SHIMPAC®, road longevity is secured, keeping road users happy and maintenance costs down. #PrecisionEngineering #SHIMPAC #ROADSHIMS #Infrastructure #PotholePrevention #RoadSafety #Innovation

LET'S TALK ABOUT COST. Cost efficiency is at the core of the SHIMPAC® system and is yet another USP of ours! SHIMPAC® offers multiple cost benefits, making it a smart choice for infrastructure projects. As our MD Peter Rieck told HighwaysIndustry.Com (Official) “Installation cost is approximately 40% cheaper than alternative ironwork seating solutions. Plus, the system can be installed by a single operative, reducing labour costs even further.” And the cost savings don’t stop there. SHIMPAC® is built to withstand the 40+ tonne sheer and compression forces from road vehicles, meaning no costly maintenance is required down the line. For looking after the budget in the short-term, as well long-term value and peace of mind for the future, SHIMPAC® delivers on all fronts! #CostEfficiency #Infrastructure #SHIMPAC #Innovation #RoadMaintenance #USP #Savings #Ieronwork #Seating #Levelling

Discover another key USP of the SHIMPAC® system: Speed! With the Olympics captivating the world, speed is on everyone's mind. As we watch athletes push the limits, SHIMPAC® brings the same desire for speed to our work! Our engineering excellence ensures that installation of ironwork times are drastically reduced, minimising road user disruption. Here's how: Traditional methods can take 6-7 days for mortar to fully set. With SHIMPAC®, this wait time is eradicated because our system doesn't rely on mortar! Our installation process takes just 10-15 minutes, allowing more ironwork seating to be installed or maintained within a single day's road closure. The biggest win? The public gets to enjoy fully functional roads quicker, reducing disruption and enhancing road user experience. Let’s keep our roads moving as fast as the Olympic champions! #SHIMPAC #Olympics #Speed #Innovation #EngineeringExcellence #Roadworks #Efficiency #LessDisruption #QuickInstallation #Seating #Levelling 

Sustainability. It's on everyone's lips. Contractors and Local Authorities alike are under increasing pressure to ensure that schemes are carried out as sustainably as possible, always keeping an eye on the long-term impact of projects. Products and services that meet a multitude of sustainable requirements are needed. Enter SHIMPAC®. Sustainability is one of our USPs, with the sustainable nature of the SHIMPAC® system beginning with recyclable material used in the ROADSHIMS® themselves. Additionally, with so many lengths and thickness variables, it’s possible to carry the exact amount of ROADSHIMS® required for the job at hand -resulting in minimal waste throughout both manufacturing and installation, meaning that even zero waste isn’t uncommon. But the sustainable nature of SHIMPAC® doesn't start and end with materials and waste.
