Product development and testing

Tarmac has historically been able to provide its clients with innovative approaches to undertaking works associated with pavement maintenance.

We are continually researching and developing new and improved surfacing materials and applying these innovations into our projects. Tarmac's values and this culture of lateral thinking is encouraged at all levels from senior management to operatives on site.

Having experienced contract staff available enables us to carefully review the works required, together with the constraints imposed and apply lateral thinking to determine an optimum solution.
To ensure Tarmac remains at the leading edge, our technical centre provides support and technical back-up to our day-to-day operational business and offers its customers an unrivalled service.

The technical centre is recognised as one of the country’s centres of excellence for product development and testing and makes a valuable contribution to any project by ensuring that innovative products and construction techniques are fully considered. It has a particular expertise in the practical application of sustainability principles and recycling techniques on highway projects. See more on Tarmac and Sustainability and Sustainable Products.
