Publication details: Bryssel FEHRL, 2009Description: 31 sSubject(s): Online resources: Bibl.nr: VTI 2010.0104Location: Abstract: SPENS is a Specific Targeted Research Project (STREP) submitted to the call on Surface Transport under the Priority thematic area Sustainable Surface Transport. The objective of this research project, which will end in August 2009, is to develop appropriate tools and procedures for the rapid and cost-effective rehabilitation and maintenance of roads in the EU New Member States. The overall objective is to search for materials and technologies for road pavement construction and rehabilitation that would: - behave satisfactorily in a typical climate, - have an acceptable environmental impact, - be easy to incorporate within existing technologies, - be cost-effective and easy to maintain.SPENS is a Specific Targeted Research Project (STREP) submitted to the call on Surface Transport under the Priority thematic area Sustainable Surface Transport.
