Project Brief

To reconstruct 3.5 km of the A1094 Aldeburgh Road, in Friston, Suffolk, using FoamMaster recycled Base materials in lieu of virgin aggregates.

Background to the Contract

Suffolk County Council has traditionally used hot-rolled asphalt for re-surfacing their roads across the County. However, to assist with the County's ambition of being one of the greenest in the country, the A1094 was identified as a suitable location to trial the use of FoamMaster. Tarmac has extensive experience of foamed bitumen technology. FoamMaster is essentially 88% highway arisings, 7% pulverised fuel ash, 2% cement and 3% bitumen, all mixed with water.
