9 steps to safe bitumen deliveries

12.04.18

To achieve the goal of zero injuries at work, every single person must assume personal responsibility for safety. We have compiled the most important points below.

Apply general safety awareness - Observe, think and act
Always use the required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Be aware of the emergency equipment locations (fire extinguishers, emergency stop buttons, safety showers, main closure valve)
Ensure all personnel are kept at least 6 m away from the delivery operation (exclusion zone)
Driver must stay in attendance at the emergency stop button at all times during delivery
Check and secure any valves, caps, covers and padlocks
Leave the delivery point in a clean condition
Sign and complete delivery documentation
Report all defects or any problems firstly to the customer, secondly to your Nynas contact.

Sätaröd-Vä, Sweden

European route 22 (E22) is no less than 5,320 km long, from Holyhead in the UK via the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden and Latvia to Ishim in Russia. The part of the E22 that runs through Sweden plays a major role for the country’s southern region, not least because of the link to the Copenhagen area. The problem is that the road is very busy and accident-prone, and is also close to residential areas that are affected by noise.

The Rotebro Link, Sweden

County road 267 in northern Stockholm is an important, busy link between the E4 and the E18. To improve the traffic flow on this section, the contractor Svevia has been hired by the Swedish Transport Administration to widen a 6 km section from one to two lanes in each direction.

Projects

Punt Val Mulinaun, Switzerland

High-quality waterproofing of a bridge is generally carried out using mastic asphalt. This is all the more true if there are increased stresses due to climatic conditions or traffic loads. One example is the Punt-Val-Mulinaun arch bridge on the Oberalpstrasse H19 in Graubünden, Switzerland.

Projects

Asphalt in High Cross Slope, Germany

In summer 2017, Nynas delivered a carefully chosen PMB grade, Nypol 25, for asphalt layers of a test track.
