What are the benefits of tarmac driveways?
Tarmac is incredibly resilient and capable of withstanding heavy loads, making it ideal for areas that will see regular vehicle traffic. It's also weather-resistant, able to endure harsh conditions like rain, snow, and extreme temperatures without deteriorating, cracking, or becoming damaged. This resilience translates into a long lifespan, ensuring that tarmac driveways remain functional and aesthetically pleasing for many years with minimal upkeep.
How do we lay tarmac driveways?
Step 1: Site Clearance
The first step involves clearing the site. This includes removing any existing driveway material, debris, or vegetation. We then excavate to the required depth, which is essential for a stable base and proper drainage.
A solid sub-base is crucial for a long-lasting tarmac driveway. We lay a layer of crushed stone or hardcore, which is then compacted using specialized equipment to create a stable, level foundation. This step ensures the tarmac layer has a firm base to rest on, preventing issues like sinking or cracking.
Step 2: Laying the tarmac
The top layer of tarmac, made from a mixture of aggregates and bitumen, is then laid over the binder course. This layer is carefully spread to ensure an even surface. We use modern equipment to ensure the tarmac is evenly distributed and compacted, achieving the right thickness and smooth finish.
Step 3: Finishing Touches
Once the tarmac is laid, it is rolled and compacted using a roller. This process ensures that the tarmac is densely packed and smooth, eliminating air pockets and potential weak spots.
