Road planings are recycled asphalt, commonly known as reprocessed road surfacing, that is removed from old roads during resurfacing or demolition. These planings are an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to new aggregates, offering durability and versatility for a wide range of construction and landscaping projects.
Applications of Road Planings:
Road and Driveway Construction: Perfect for creating a solid base layer for roads, driveways, and parking areas.
Paving and Footpaths: Ideal for creating pathways and footpaths with a sturdy, low-maintenance surface.
Landscaping: Used as a compacted base for paths, parking areas, and outdoor surfaces.
Erosion Control: Can be used for stabilizing surfaces and controlling soil erosion on large-scale projects.
Benefits of Road Planings:
Cost-Effective: An affordable option for surfacing and sub-base construction, reducing the need for new materials.
Eco-Friendly: Made from recycled materials, road planings are a sustainable alternative to virgin aggregates.
Durable: Strong and resilient, providing long-lasting results even in high-traffic areas.
Versatile: Ideal for a wide range of applications, from driveways and roads to landscaping and erosion control.
Coverage Guidance:
A bulk bag of road planings (850kg) typically covers:
8.95 m² at a depth of 50mm
4.47 m² at a depth of 100mm
For best results, apply in layers of 50mm to 100mm, ensuring proper compaction for a solid base.
