Long Lasting, High Performance, Miles More Economical!

SteelFlow - Less is More!

As budgets come under increasing pressure SteelFlow is receiving a warm welcome from councils and local authorities striving to meet the challenge of maintaining safe and serviceable roads within the constraints of tighter budgets.

Goes the extra mile

With all the usual qualities of durability, strength and skid-resistance associated with SteelPhalt products made from steel slag aggregate, SteelFlow also uses modified bitumen which gives the material greater flexibility and elasticity. SteelFlow is, quite simply, miles more economical than standard materials of 30mm or 40mm. It only needs to be laid at a depth of 15mm, resulting in faster installation times, reduced labour and greater surfacing areas for the same volume of product.

SteelFlow - Only needs to be laid 15mm thick
SteelFlow Properties
  • Lay at only 15mm depth
  • Faster installation times
  • Easy to work with
  • Noise reducing
Proven Performance

SteelFlow is also showing excellent skid resistance figures over the investigation level when tested under SteelPhalt’s grip testing programme through the summer months.

Laid at only 15mm thick, SteeFlow guarantees long-lasting, high performance and faster installation times.

Miles more economical! And it's GREEN!

Like many other products within the SteelPhalt ‘stable’, SteelFlow constitutes a very high percentage of recycled materials, 95% in this case – giving it added appeal to suppliers who wish to meet green criteria.

Performance Statistics

In a recent case study, our client was looking to cover a section of highway covering a 785 metre stretch. The plan was to use a traditional 14mm dense surface course laid at a depth of 40mm.

It was suggested that they consider using SteelFlow as an alternative solution to be laid at 15mm thick.

By using the SteelFlow material 59% less asphalt would be required to surface the job saving 46% on material costs.

Product Usage

Our SteelFlow product is easy to transport and very quick and simple to lay, significantly reducing downtime for any works.

Typical applications include: Single Carriageways, Approaches to Major & Minor Junctions (dual and single carriageways), bends (on all types of roads) including motorway link roads & other hazards that require combined braking and cornering.

Note: PSV values highlighted in yellow (below) is what our SteelFlow material can be applied to.

"You lay it thinner and it goes much further!"

'Less is more' sums up a new ultra durable, ultra thin surfacing gaining ground in the north east of England. And the product is ultra sustainable too…

SteelFlow is a road surfacing product whose characteristics lend themselves to the adjectival superlative ‘ultra’. It is claimed to be a highly durable surfacing, is laid very thin indeed and has sustainability credentials that are close to impeccable.

“You’re able to restore all the road surface characteristics without having to plane off old carriageway surfacing.” - David Hepworth

Roads refurbished with ultra thin Steelflow do not require modification of kerb levels or street furniture. Local authorities there are finding they get more value for their money, especially in terms of square metres covered.

SteelFlow Quality Control
SteelFlow® Laboratory Tests

SteelFlow is also showing excellent skid resistance figures over the investigation level when tested under SteelPhalt’s grip testing programme, especially through the summer months.

Specimens have been subjected to a total of 100,000 wheel passes as required by the BBA, equivalent to traffic wear during 5 to 10 year’s in-service life. In each case, SteelFlow met the requirements for the above applications, proving its credentials as a durable and effective road surfacing product.
