Published requirement descriptionThe Coring service consists of:
Coring; mechanically extracting a standard size cylinder of bituminous material from the road/footway.
It is used to prove material has been laid in accordance with the SROH (Specification of Reinstatements for Openings in the Highway) and forms a vital part of the inspection regime which ensures both Statutory Undertakers/3rd Party works and our HST service provider’s works meet National guidelines.
