Tarmac Surfacing in Construction: Durable and Cost-Effective Solutions
Our work is a crucial component within the construction sector, particularly for roads, driveways, parking, and other paved areas. We create a durable, smooth, and weather-resistant surfaces which are cost-effective, versatile, and durable. Here’s an overview of our application in the construction sector:
The area to be surfaced with tarmac is first prepared by excavating and grading the site to ensure proper drainage and a solid foundation. This may involve removing old pavement, debris, and ensuring the underlying soil is appropriately compacted.
A base layer of aggregate material, often crushed stone or gravel, is laid and compacted to provide a stable foundation. This layer helps distribute the weight of vehicles and prevents water from penetrating the surface.
A binder course, also known as a levelling course, is applied on top of the base layer. This consists of a coarser aggregate mix coated with a bituminous binder. It helps improve the load-bearing capacity and acts as a transition between the base and wearing courses.
The top layer, known as the wearing course, is where the tarmac’s characteristic smooth and black appearance comes from. This layer consists of finer aggregate materials mixed with bitumen. The precise mix design can vary based on factors like anticipated traffic load, climate, and desired surface characteristics.
Once the wearing course is laid, it is thoroughly compacted using heavy rollers to ensure uniform density and a smooth surface. The compaction process also helps in minimising air voids and enhancing the strength of the tarmac surface.

Get In TouchAdvantages of Tarmac Surfacing in Construction
Tarmac surfaces can withstand heavy traffic loads and adverse weather conditions, making them suitable for high-traffic areas like roads and highways.
The smooth surface of tarmac provides a comfortable driving experience and reduces wear and tear on vehicles.
Our surfaces are laid relatively quickly, minimising disruption to traffic and activities in the area.
We source high-quality materials which are also cost-effective for projects of all scales.
Furthermore, regular maintenance is offered. This might include crack sealing, patching, and resurfacing as the surface ages and deteriorates over time.
