Commercial Tarmac In Town
On commercial tarmac in Town we lay it hot and in two courses, a base course first, which is the binder course, and then the surface course over the top of it, which is the wearing course.
Our Commercial Tarmac Services
Tarmac Co lays commercial tarmac and asphalt in Town with Barber-Greene machinery, the asphalt paving machines, on areas large or small. Most of the work is on these, and ground like them:
- Laneways
- Car parks
- Private estate roads
The top can be a standard tarmac wearing course at 20mm. We lay a finer 6mm SMA finish as well, stone mastic asphalt. The 6mm closes tightest.
The Build-Up Under Commercial Tarmac
Before any tarmacadam is laid in Town we put in a new foundation of crushed limestone, 804, graded off, and drainage goes in where the job needs it.
For heavy vehicles and commercial use the build is around 150mm of tarmac over 200-300mm of sub-base. The sub-base always goes up with the surface. A heavier surface laid on a domestic sub-base is still not heavy duty.
Tarmac has to be laid in one run, so on a large area like a car park we plan the stopping points before laying starts. Heavy duty use then waits 48 hours, for it to cure properly.
Finishing Commercial Tarmac
An edge left unretained is where tarmac fails first. Our contractors finish the tarmac into edging kerbs or a border to retain it.
On commercial work in Town we also fit granite bordering, concrete kerbing and paved entrance aprons.
Commercial Tarmac Questions From Town Customers
Will a new car park send water out onto the road?
No. Standard tarmac is not permeable, so we set the falls to run surface water into channel drains. Those connect into the existing drainage on the property or into a soakaway.
