Front Entrance Tarmac Resurfacing in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire
Overview
This project involved resurfacing the main front entrance road to a residential development in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire. The existing carriageway was machine planned to remove 40mm of the worn surface before being resurfaced with a 40mm AC 10mm Surface Course, creating a smooth, durable, and professional finish suitable for daily vehicle traffic. A 40mm AC10 dense surface course is a common specification for carriageway resurfacing works.
Project Scope
- Machine planed out 40mm of the existing carriageway.
- Applied tack coat to ensure a strong bond between the existing layer and new asphalt.
- Machine-laid 40mm of AC 10mm Surface Course.
- Compacted the new surface using roller compaction to achieve a smooth, even finish.
- Maintained safe traffic management throughout the works.
- Delivered a clean, high-quality entrance road with minimal disruption.
The Challenge
The front entrance required a full surface renewal while maintaining access and ensuring the finished road blended seamlessly with the surrounding carriageway. Achieving accurate levels, clean joints, and a consistent finish was essential due to the high visibility of the site entrance.
Our Solution
The existing surface was precisely planed to a depth of 40mm, followed by the application of a tack coat to promote excellent adhesion. A new 40mm layer of AC 10mm Surface Course was then machine laid and fully compacted, providing a durable wearing course with a smooth riding surface and improved appearance.
The Result
The completed entrance road now provides:
- Smooth, even driving surface
- Enhanced durability for everyday traffic
- Improved appearance at the development entrance
- High-quality machine-laid finish
- Long-lasting low-maintenance surfacing
The project was completed efficiently and to a high standard, delivering a modern, professional entrance that enhances both the functionality and kerb appeal of the development.
