Warm Lay Tarmac

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

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.
