Roads, Tunnels and Bridge infrastructure support 

Our road and highways network needs to withstand harsh conditions, from heat, freezing temperatures, and heavy-load vehicles to friction from braking and skidding. We offer construction aggregates for sub-base layers to provide a stable base platform, base and binder course asphalt to help bear the load of heavy traffic, and a range of surface course materials that provide an even surface. Plus, we supply kerbs and edging to add the finishing touches.

As Active Travel becomes increasingly important, we support infrastructure projects that promote walking and cycling, reducing reliance on motor vehicles and contributing to a more sustainable transport network. Our materials are designed to create durable, skid-resistant, and smooth-surfaced cycle lanes, pedestrian pathways, and shared-use routes. Investing in Active Travel infrastructure helps lower carbon emissions, improve air quality, and create healthier communities. We can work with you to find the best materials for your project, offering onsite testing and transparent carbon reports every step of the way.

Road and highways

Our road and highways network needs to withstand harsh conditions. From heat, freezing temperature, heavy load vehicles and friction from braking and skidding. We offer construction aggregates for sub-base layers to provide a stable base platform, base and binder course asphalt to help bear the load of heavy traffic and a range of surface course materials that provides an even surface. Plus the kerbs and edging to add the finishing touches. We can work with you to find the best material for the project, offer onsite testing and transparent carbon reports every step of the way. 

We are one of the UK's leading national surfacing contractors, with over 85 years of experience delivering asphalt, hydraulically bound and cementitious bound pavement solutions, UK wide. 

 

Our service extends to full depth pavement construction; highways asset renewal and construction; highway maintenance, pavement repair and general surfacing work; car parks; hard standings and utilities.

 

Bridges and tunnels

The design and build of bridge and tunnel infrastructure, is complex. Choosing the right materials that can withstand the load-bearing and strength requirements is paramount. We have high strength, durable cement and ready-mixed concrete products available ideal for these applications. Both available in low carbon options with ECOPlanet the green cement, and ECOPact the green concrete.
