It is vital to ensure that the right type of tarmac is installed for any specific job.
Tarmacadam, commonly referred to as tarmac, is a popular material for driveways, roads, and pathways due to its durability, smooth finish, and cost-effectiveness. However, the process of tarmacadam surfacing involves several precise steps to ensure a high-quality, long-lasting result.
A very brief and basic outline includes:
The first step in tarmac surfacing is thorough planning and preparation. This includes a Site Assessment where our experienced team of professionals assess the site or property to understand the existing conditions and perform an assessment of the existing surface. We will then work with you and advise you on the best course of action.
The foundation is crucial for the durability of the tarmac surface. This step involves removing the existing surface material, such as old tarmac, gravel, or soil. Appropriate groundworks will then be been undertaken to secure adequate drainage and to prepare the site.
Edging is an important aspect that adds both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.
It is vital to ensure that the right type of tarmac is installed for any specific job. It is not a one-type-fits all scenario. After the groundworks and foundations are complete and have been properly compacted, the Tarmac is 'poured' as a hot liquid which is then levelled and compacted to allow for a smooth application.
Spreading the Tarmac
The hot tarmac is spread evenly using specialised equipment.
Rolling and Compacting
The surface is then rolled and compacted to ensure it is smooth, level. This step is critical for the durability of the surface.
Finishing Touches
Once the tarmac surface is laid, finishing touches are applied to ensure a perfect result.
The tarmac needs time to cool and set. During this period, it's important to keep vehicles and heavy objects off the surface to avoid indentations. We provide you with all the advise and guidence required.
