New Code of Practice includes the use of Jig-Brix
The recently published RSTA ADEPT Code of Practice for Ironworks Systems Installation and Refurbishment introduces the use of Jig-Brix and Paving Mastic Asphalt.
It forwards industry best practice and has been peer reviewed and endorsed by Highways England and ADEPT.
Particular advice is given for brickwork supporting the frame and cover and permits the use of interlocking mono-polymer bricks. In practice this our Jig-Brix product. Selection of backfill and reinstatement around the ironwork installation and joint over-banding around the ironwork installation is also covered.

Jig-Brix Trial on Belfast Bus Lane
Jig-Brix, a mortar-less brick system supplied in Northern Ireland by A & A, is to be used on a trial basis on a new Belfast Bus Lane in East Belfast by main Contractors Lagan O&M.
The system, produced from a recycled mono polymer was developed to overcome the problem of the failure of ironwork installations within the highway.
The use of Jig-Brix has previously demonstrated that is can alleviate the problem of premature cracking in the surrounding asphalt, caused by the likely mismatch between the in-situ stiffness of the road ironwork installation and the movement of the flexible road surface.
