Local & Trusted Surface Dressing Company East Midlands

Using tar and chip for road surfacing is often a great way to improve or repair a road surface. For larger jobs we use state or the art computer-controlled tar and chip feeders. This has a one pass surface dressing system which allows the chips to be fed onto the hot tar binder within 1 second of its application. This means the binders (tar) have had virtually no time to cool, greatly increasing the bond of the tar to the existing surface and the new stone chip.

Some of the Advantages to Surface Dressing in East Midlands

• Seals the road surface against water ingress which is known to be one of the major causes of asphalt pavement deterioration.
• Arrests the deterioration of the road surface and underlying road pavement structure.
• Restores the necessary level of skid resistance to the road surface with the resultant benefits of the reduction of skid-related traffic accidents.
• Enables worn-out road surfaces to last longer thereby increasing the time when structural maintenance is required.
• Helps to reduce spray caused by vehicles travelling on wet roads.
• Maximises the cost-effectiveness of limited highway maintenance funds.

Life Expectancy:
Proper attention to design and execution has provided surface dressing lifetimes well in excess of 10 years, even on very heavily trafficked sites.
