Warm Lay Tarmac
This contractor is using warm lay tarmac for the site compound car park, this significantly reduced the carbon for this activity by up to 15% per tonne.
This has numerous benefits including:
- No requirement for any specialist equipment to lay and no compromise on performance
- Improved site safety as the risks of burns are lessened
- Improved air quality and visibility onsite as less fumes and steam are created onsite.
- Enhanced Life-expectancy and durability as the lower temperatures and decreased oxidation reduces binder aging during manufacture.
- Lower temperatures reduce cooling time
- Material reaches trafficking temperatures quicker which reduces the impact on road users.
