Award Win

PipeHawk is pleased to announce that its layer re-instatement inspection tool, the 'e-Spott', won the Product Invention and Innovation Award at the recent HAUC (Highways Authorities and Utilities Committee) HSC10 Conference. The e-Spott uses ground probing radar to test the depth of bituminous layers on either newly laid or repaired roads.

Gordon Watt, Chairman of PipeHawk, commented:

"At a time when all public expenditure is under scrutiny our e-Spott tool provides an excellent example of where innovation can ensure that ratepayers receive value for money and provide a cleaner, safer way for local authorities and contractors to ensure that the road and paths are re-instated as they should be. We have also received an enthusiastic endorsement of the product from one of the UK's top 5 construction companies and look forward to its rapid take up by the industry."
