Pegley Groundworks Ltd is fortunate enough to work in a climate where there are only occasional temperature-related issues in our road construction and surface dressing work. Our road surfacing contractors and tarmacadam contractors have vast experience in dealing with melting tarmac, having covered the many needs of the domestic, commercial, industrial and civil engineering sectors since our company first started out in 1979. We can deal with tarmac driveways just as easily as we can deal with road surfacing.
While temperatures in nearby Midhurst rarely reach the heights that we see in warmer countries, hot spells can still cause issues with tarmac surfaces.
Here, we discuss the measures we implement to recover road constructions and tarmac driveways when things begin to heat up. Our road surfacing contractors and tarmacadam contractors offer a responsive service which limits the damage caused so that our rectification work is made simpler.
Modified Binders
By using polymer modified binders on road construction and surface dressing projects in Midhurst, we increase melting points to around 80°C. The binders play an important role in the mixes Pegley Groundworks Ltd uses on domestic, commercial and civil engineering projects. As well as stopping tarmac from melting, binders prevent surfaces from becoming brittle in cold temperatures.
With polymer modified binders, road constructions and tarmac driveways remain stable, and they will retain their strength throughout the entire year.
Surface Courses
Our road surfacing contractors and tarmacadam contractors use dressings to seal surfaces on domestic, commercial and civil engineering projects in and around the Midhurst area. Surface dressing raises the point at which tarmac softens and this reduces the chances of melting. Dressings can either be used as a preventative or a reactive measure on melting tarmac roads.
Car parks offer a great example of how well surface dressings can work.
Skid Resistance
The more that Pegley Groundworks Ltd can increase resistance of skidding on road constructions, and on tarmac driveways to a lesser degree, the better it is for the tarmac surface. The only realistic way to increase skid resistance is for our road surfacing contractors and tarmacadam contractors to enhance the texture of tarmac. We achieve this by using courser chippings in the mix.
The busier a road or driveway in Midhurst, the courser the grade needs to be. The finer the grade, however, the smoother the final finish appears.
Granite Dust and Sand
Abnormally high temperatures make road constructions on industrial and civil engineering projects sticky on surfaces, and this can lead to major damage in areas with heavy amounts of vehicular traffic. Pegley Groundworks Ltd can spread granite dust and sand onto roads and tarmac driveways to make their surfaces less sticky, and to keep installations in a more stable condition.
