Close up of QMS Stand at Fact and Friction

RSTA Fact and Friction 2025: High Friction Surfacing for Safer Roads

21 May 2025 Virginia Scheuerle

Last week, Liam and Virginia headed down to Gloucester Rugby Club to attend the Road Surface Treatment Association’s – RSTA Fact and Friction 2025 event. Now in its third year, this event was hosted in partnership with WDM and WJ Group.

This event brought together local authorities, road operators, and industry experts to share best practices and insights into surface treatments. It provided valuable tips on how to better manage skid resistance and the benefits of incorporating it into part of a more proactive instead of reactive, maintenance strategy.

As specialists in High Friction Surfacing (HFS), we were excited to exhibit at the RSTA Fact and Friction and highlight how our HyperGrip™ system plays a key role in improving skid resistance and making roads safer. Our stand gave us the perfect chance to connect with other industry professionals who share our passion for road safety and reducing serious accidents.

New to this year were the breakout sessions, which allowed attendees to dive deeper into specific areas of interest. The team joined a focused table talk on High Friction Surfacing, an essential component to improving road safety and a massive part of what we offer at QMS.

This session offered a refreshing opportunity for collaboration with all attendees working together on a real-life case study. It was an excellent platform to bring different knowledge and opinions to the table and conclude what steps would make the most significant impact.

Wrapping up our first time at the RSTA Fact and Friction, the event was fantastic and exceeded all our expectations. It was great to make new connections and engage in conversations that we look forward to continuing!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There has been a couple of crews doing the lining and antiskid works local to me on the new surfacing project on Callington road, Tavistock and the quality of work is spot on. Its done nothing but rain here for the last 2 months and as someone who spent over 25 years lining I can appreciate what they`ve been up against, especially with anti skid and MMA lining materials.

It’s really nice to work with a company that come out in person and really listen to what you need, and then work with you to achieve it! Thanks QMS, you were great! Highly recommend!
