Colleagues
Sincere apologies for the somewhat minor nature of this posting
AS some of you may be aware, I am in the throes of writing up my PhD
(as well as working full time!) and to complete
a peripheral task I require three samples of what effectively are
slices off of the top of road cores (ie the first few mms of a core)
or mould prepared samples of
(i) A NEW/UNTRAFFICKED 10mm or 14mm as laid SMA or BBA/HAPAS thin surfacing
(ii) A NEW/UNTRAFFICKED "classic" chipped Hot rolled asphalt surfacing
(ii) A NEW/UNTRAFFICKED 10mm+ surface dressing (not racked in / double dressed)
The three samples would effectively illustrate negative and positive
textures to the outsider rather than "how not to lay a <insert surfacing type>"
these would be stable slices off the top of road cores or mould -made
samples small enough for posting but capable of surviving the trip!!!
The work to be undertaken on these items are icing on the cake for
one section of my work and any assistance in sourcing
them in the next seven to ten working days (ASAP) would be gratefully
acknowledged
I am happy to cover reasonable carriage charges however I do not have
a budget for the preparation as my PhD was effectively
funded solely from the basic EPSRC grand not a research contract :(
Please get in touch a.s.a.p. if you can assist
