Using planings instead of other recycled aggregates can offer multiple advantages, depending on the use. Here are some reasons why:
- Drainage: While planings compact tightly, they still allow for adequate drainage, which helps prevent water accumulation and associated problems like frost heave or erosion.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Planings are often more cost-effective than other types of aggregates, especially when sourced locally from VWJ Earthmoving. They are an expensive byproduct of the quarrying process, which can make them less expensive than purpose made aggregates.
- Environmental Consideration: Using planings is a form of recycling, as it uses the fine materials that would otherwise be considered waste from the stone crushing process. By using locally sourced planings, transport costs and the carbon footprint can be decreased compared to importing other aggregates.
- Versatility: Planings are used for a variety of purposes, including as a base material, filler and for pathways. They can be used to create a smooth, non-slip surface for walking paths and driveways. This is great for use in both residential and commercial areas.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Planings can provide a consistent and uniform look, which can be more aesthetically pleasing than the varied textures and colours of some other recycled aggregates.
Common Questions ABOUT Tarmac Road Planings:
Q. How do Tarmac Road Planings compare to new asphalt?
A. While new asphalt offers a smoother and more uniform surface, tarmac road planings are significantly cheaper and provide a more sustainable option. Furthermore, when properly compacted, planings can offer a strong and weather-resistant surface.
Q. How much coverage can I expect from a lorry load of tarmac planings?
A. A standard 8-wheel tipper delivery carries approximately 20 tonnes. As a general rule, 1 tonne of planings will cover roughly 10 to 12 square metres at a compacted depth of 50mm (2 inches), making a full load ideal for large driveways, tracks, or hardstandings in Alsager.
Q. What applications are tarmac road planings best suited for?
A. Tarmac planings are extremely versatile and are most commonly used for farm tracks, haul roads, car parks, temporary site access and hardstandings. They also serve as an excellent sub-base layer under fresh asphalt, concrete or gravel.
Q. What site access do you require for delivery?
A. We deliver our planings loose using 8-wheel tipper lorries. These vehicles require a clear access route approximately 3 metres wide with adequate overhead clearance for tipping. If your site has narrow access or restrictions, simply let us know when booking.
