ASPHALTING

Asphalt (also known as Bitumen or Hot Mix) has been used for paving roadways and surfaces for centuries. It is a mixture primarily made from a semi-solid form of petroleum and various size stone depending on end use requirements. Today this product has been further developed to a variety of grades and thicknesses to meet specific needs for different types of roads, car parks, sports courts etc.

Asphalt is a product that is recognised and used worldwide for  roads and car parks as it provides a smooth surface, reduces noise and is easy to manipulate to create efficient water dispersion; it is a long lasting and cost effective paving surface for roads. Asphalt is recyclable and is easy to maintain and repair.
