PROCESS MINERALS SALES MANAGER Field Sales nation-wide aggregate for high-friction and refractory applications- Sales in excess of £4.1m per annum

TRANSPORT RESEARCH LABORATORY  (www.trl.co.uk) Crowthorne

Responsible for original research in the context of the 'Skidding Standard' “Brown Book”  and other areas.

Attended the PIARC (http://www.piarc.org/) International Experiment for the unification of skidding/texture measurement Belgium and Spain, as sole TRL technical representative on-site (http://www.piarc.org/pub/01-04-e.htm) . Real time and follow on analysis and presentation of TRL results. Provided data analysis and SCRIM technical support to other overseas teams.

HIGHER SCIENTIFIC OFFICER (HSO) - Research on behalf of the Department of Transport's Highways Engineering Division studying the whole life energy costs of flexible and concrete road designs.

Original research relating to the inter-relationship of a number of existing and proposed EC laboratory tests - Investigation into the Correlation of Micro-Deval and AAV, The Effect of particle size on PSV (unpublished Working Papers)

Supervised and operated on-site a number of TRL designed road testing devices including HSTM and SCRIM/SCRIMTEX, some experience of working with GripTester via PIARC trial and working with North Yorkshire CC team during UK research project (see reference 6)

Worked with Les Tubey and Peter Roe in collection of network SMTD data and some analysis of STATS19 data for: 

RR296 - The relation between the surface texture of roads and accidents. 1991 P G Roe, D C Webster, G West

Used Scrimtex/SCRIM along with Local Authority/TMC information to extend the correlation of SFC/MSSC  PSV and CVD for traffic flows in excess of 3200 CVD (LR 510 limit): this required the collection and analysis of over 450 km of MSSC/PSV/Site Category/CVD data, providing data base and initial analysis for:

TRL322 - The polished Stone Value of aggregates and in-service skidding resistance  P G Roe, S A Hartshorne.

a development of...

WP/MC/45 : The relation between skidding resistance, polishing resistance and traffic on heavily trafficked roads  Bullas,JC Roe,PG  

Datum marking and subsequent data collection/analysis  for a number of MSSC / SMTD monitoring sites using HSTM and SCRIM/SCRIMTEX nation-wide (Hull, M1, A59, A34,  a30 etc....) for novel surfacing (Ecopave / Porous Asphalt) and re-texturing trials.

Extensive Lab based research backed by data from test laboratories nation-wide leading to:

TRRL RR284 - Specifying clean, hard and durable aggregate for bitumen macadam roadbase. 1991, J C Bullas, G West (Reference 2)

Technical support for W F Stanley clients relating to their Portable Skid Resistance Tester (“The Pendulum”)

SCIENTIFIC OFFICER (SO)

Proposed amendments to the British Standard Ten Percent Fines Value (TPV) and aggregate Abrasion Value (AAV) test procedures (as published in QJEG Reference 1) - improvement of the accuracy of estimating TPV load from AIV based on lithology. Trained as graduate recruit by Les Tubey, Peter Roe and Graham West.

Transferred between pure research and commercial technical sales/research  environment responsible for annual turnover in excess of £4.1m. 

The translation of an outline test programme into a full scale independent trial of a product. http://www.sightgrip.com/IHTarticle.htm.
