On a recent visit to the North East, Highways met the team behind Galvmac to find out more about the company's people-first ethos, the Elastomac repairs solution they deliver and why they get called 'the future of highways maintenance'.

By investing in training, apprenticeships, and long-term career development, Galvmac has been able to reinvest back into the company to support growth.

The company specialises in laying Elastomac: a pothole repair method that delivers 'faster, more efficient and more effective' results. Indeed, over the past two and a half years, Galvmac reports zero defects or repair failures, a notable achievement in a sector where durability is critical.

What sets Galvmac apart is not just the material itself, but how it is deployed. Their fully self-sufficient repair vehicle allows a single crew to carry out works, without the need for additional support. The process eliminates cutting and breaking out, enabling repairs to be completed up to 75% faster than traditional methods, the company says.
