Road Planings

AntrimGlens

Has anyone ever used road planings for hardcore, lane ways or making a yard. They’re resurfacing the road beside the farm here in the next couple of weeks and I can get 30T loads off the existing road for £100 delivered. I’ve ordered 100T off them to use for putting on the driveway to the house as it’s being tarmaced next week but I was wondering about their suitability for heavier machinery or putting where stock might be handled etc. I think I was told once that they were good if it was hot when you spread them and rolled them well. ??

We used plenty of it over the years. Most that we ever got was essentially 804. The percentage of tarmacadam in it would be low.
It's powerful stuff.

I would stockpile it if I got it. At e100, it's mighty value. Mighty stuff as the bitumen in it really binds it together.

I got it last year for free. The road they were doing is right outside our farm and they were happy to not have to travel. Put it on a bit of the yard. Great job. Got 3or 4 loads

Get about 500 tons that's spread on tracks early summer, amount of tar/bitumen can be variable but can set really well in right conditions. Ours gets wrecked from heavy traffic and washed out by heavy rain.

Never heard of anyone paying for it, usually they are happy to get of it.

If it's free all the better but it has a value, contractors know this aswell. I would pay to get a few loads and stockpile it. Keep an eye on the loads to ensure it's full ones.

Council forced removal of it from local farm here.....insisting it be handled through proper channels....just make sure that if it needs to be removed that it is not at your cost...
