Breedon Aggregates re-lays A90 in tyre-derived rubberised tarmac trial

News

Breedon Aggregates reports that it has successfully completed the first major UK trial of a kind of asphalt made partly from recycled tyres on behalf of Transport Scotland. Following the trial in Scotland, the firm will now begin to market the new material, to be called Breedon Polymer R+, from its 18 asphalt plants throughout Scotland and England.

In late April a short stretch of the A90 dual carriageway between Perth and Dundee was resurfaced with the material and a recently-completed ‘grip test’ on the surface has now confirmed its viability. This stretch of road is one of the busiest in Scotland, carrying around 35,000 vehicles a day. Over the next few months the material will be closely monitored against a number of key performance criteria, including skid resistance. According to the company, the early indications are “very encouraging.”
