VIALOW case study
March 23, 2023
Our lower temperature manufacturing process for our VIALOW Asphalt range helps improve the long-term performance and durability of the asphalt, as higher temperatures used in conventional mixes lead to more oxidative hardening of the bitumen.
Recently, our client needed a warm mix, lower temperature asphalt, for a project at the Whaley Bridge Dam in the Peak District. To meet their needs, we discussed options with the contractor, Joule Brady Ltd and recommended the use of VIALOW, due to its lower carbon emissions and enhanced workability at lower temperatures.
We were able to supply the material from our nearby Dove Holes plant, which not only increased the speed of delivery and service, but also had a positive environmental impact due to reduced emissions from transportation. By leveraging the proximity of our plant to the jobsite, we were able to help our client achieve their project goals while minimising their carbon footprint. Watch our case study video here.
