Project Overview

This project involved the installation of new tarmac surfacing to form a durable access road and external hardstanding area within an industrial setting. The existing ground was upgraded to create a smooth, hard-wearing surface capable of accommodating regular vehicle traffic, service access, and pedestrian movement. The client required a robust, low-maintenance solution that would improve site accessibility while delivering a tidy, professional finish suitable for daily operations and varying weather conditions.

Scope of Work

The works began with comprehensive site preparation to establish a stable and well-compacted base ready for surfacing. Precise attention was given to setting correct levels, falls, and drainage to ensure effective water run-off and long-term surface performance. Concrete kerbs were installed to clearly define the roadway edges, provide structural restraint, and achieve a clean, consistent appearance throughout the site.

Once preparation works were completed, hot-laid tarmac was machine-laid and rolled using specialist equipment to create a smooth, even finish. The surface was compacted to a uniform thickness across the entire access route, with careful detailing around edges, transitions, and service areas to ensure durability and a high standard of workmanship.

Completed Result

The finished tarmac surface now provides a strong, reliable, and visually clean access road that enhances vehicle flow, improves site safety, and increases overall functionality. Designed to withstand heavy use, regular traffic, and exposure to the elements, the surface requires minimal ongoing maintenance. The project was delivered efficiently and to a high standard, resulting in a practical, long-lasting solution tailored to the operational requirements of the site.

Key Features

New tarmac surfacing provides a smooth and durable finish suitable for regular vehicle and pedestrian use. The machine-laid and rolled application ensures even compaction and long-term performance. Defined edging and kerb restraints deliver clean lines and added structural stability, while improved drainage and accurately set levels allow effective management of surface water. The completed surface offers a low-maintenance solution built to perform reliably under heavy use and challenging weather conditions.
