Surfacing.
FROM THE FIRST BUCKET TO FINAL SURFACE DRESSING
Overhall Contractors offers a full range of surfacing solutions, including macadam, block paving, concrete, and other specialist finishes—delivered on projects of any scale. From small reinstatements following trenching works or drop kerb installations, to large-scale carriageways and car parks, our team delivers durable, high-quality results. Our paving services also cover everything from private driveways to highways-specification carriageways, allowing us to provide clients with a true turnkey package—from earthworks and civils right through to final surfacing.
To further enhance our in-house capability, we operate our own KMA mobile mixing plant, which allows us to produce macadam using recycled construction waste.
The plant manufactures Cement Bound Granular Mixtures (CBGM), which is an extremely durable and economic construction material used in both foundation and structural pavement layers. CBGM uses 100% recycled aggregates which increases sustainability with no effect on the quality or cost.
The Environment Agency recognise cold recycled bound materials (CRBM) as a stabilising technology for hazardous materials specifically asphalt waste containing coal tar. There is a calculated 90% reduction in carbon using CRBM in comparison to non-recycled asphalt equivalents, without carbon offsetting.
The transition to 100% recyclable tarmac in construction represents a significant stride toward sustainable development. By reducing waste, lowering carbon emissions, conserving natural resources, and providing economic benefits, this approach addresses multiple facets of environmental and societal challenges.
