Creating sustainable, resilient highways
Our products and services are evolving to tackle challenges such as the impact of climate change and conserving natural resources by promoting the circular economy and decarbonising our business.
We process base materials including recycled construction materials, asphalt planings and primary aggregate and recycle 100 per cent of worn-out road surfaces, back into new materials. We use technologies such as foamed bitumen, emulsion and cementitious and biogenic binders to produce a range of cold mix materials, providing a lower carbon solution for road construction and maintenance projects.
Cold recycled bound materials (CRBM)
CRBM are a like-for-like equivalent to replace traditional base and binder asphalt courses in road and footway construction.
They are manufactured and installed in accordance with Specification for Highway Works (SHW) Clause 948 and BS9228 and use foamed bitumen or bitumen emulsion to produce quick visco elastic (QVE) or cement for a quick hydraulic (QB) bound material.
Hydraulic bound material (HBM)/cement bound granular material (CBGM)
Serving as an alternative to traditional flexible paving materials such as an AC 40/60 base course, CBGM is an efficient and cost-effective option for constructing durable, long-lasting roads and footways quickly.
It can be used for road foundations as a more robust substitute for traditional unbound Type 1 subbase or in flexible composite roads, replacing the asphalt base layer.
Roller compacted concrete (RCC)
RCC offers a fast, robust approach for constructing heavy-duty road surfaces. It takes its name from the construction methods used and is placed using conventional asphalt paving equipment and compacted using vibratory rollers.
It has the same constituents as conventional concrete – cement, water and aggregates – but requires no formwork or steel reinforcement.
