We produce asphalt and reclaimed asphalt pavements and surfaces, and we carry out stabilisation, waterproofing, milling and road marking works.
Our nationwide network of district offices and paving professionals serves all the paving needs of our customers.
The special requirements of wear resistance and permanent deformation resistance have to be taken into consideration in the case of very busy roads and streets used by heavy goods vehicles. For motorways and main roads we recommend that stone mastic asphalt (SMA) be used as the wearing course. However, the choice of material is always made on a case-by-case basis.
Large numbers of heavy goods vehicles exert greater loads on the road structure than ordinary passenger car traffic. A high-quality end-result can only be achieved by making the pavement sufficiently thick and using the most suitable asphalt products in the structural courses.
The choice of pavement for a collector street, residential street or cul-de-sac is influenced by the amount of heavy traffic that it carries.
Road junctions, bus lanes and bus stops are subjected to large instantaneous point loads. CONFALT composite pavement is the most highly recommended choice for these applications.
Lemminkäinen’s noise-reducing asphalt, WHISPERFALT, is one solution to the problem of tyre noise in urban areas. The porous structure of WHISPERFALT absorbs the sound caused by the tyre’s contact with the pavement surface.
