Tarmac, a CRH company, is the UK’s leading sustainable building materials and construction solutions business. Their innovative services and solutions help to deliver the infrastructure needed to grow the economy today and create a more sustainable built environment to support future prosperity. They lead in the supply of construction material comprising aggregates, asphalt, cement, lime, concrete, road contracting, building products and recycling services.
Tarmac were undertaking a project to resurface a section of the M27 motorway at J12, near Portsmouth. The section of road was part of the current hard shoulder, which will soon become a new lane as part of the new Smart Motorway project that is currently under construction.
Tarmac needed the existing road surface to be removed and for new surfacing to be laid. This would involve laying a base course, followed by the top layer of asphalt. All of this needed to be carried out overnight when the road could be easily closed with minimal disruption.
TJ Transport was one of several haulage companies employed to help assist in transporting the required aggregate materials to the work site. Two TJ tipper lorries were instructed to collect loads of the base course material from a quarry in Halcombe, Somerset. This was then transported back to the M27 J12, where the materials were deposited.
When transporting this type of aggregate, which is a warm material when loaded into the truck, it can be hard to extract when the time comes to deposit it at its final destination. To combat this, TJ sprays the inside of the tipper trucks with a liquid solution called T99 to ensure it can be easily and quickly unloaded.
TJ’s part in the project went well and was completed in good time. Each TJ lorry was given a time slot to arrive at the quarry to collect the materials, ensuring that the collections and deliveries were staggered in order to avoid long delays. TJ successfully adhered to their designated time slots, which helped contribute to the smooth running of the night’s events.
The civil engineering division of KAMM Group was formed in 2000 and since the early days they’ve had a strong reputation for providing a first class service that is always on time and on budget.
TJ’s amazing service combined with their competitive pricing is the reason we continue to choose them over others. TJ’s service is always 10/10!
The Woodhorn Group have been utilising TJ’s haulage and aggregate services for the past eight years and continue to be impressed with their high levels of reliability, their modern, safe fleet of vehicles and what they stand for as a company.
We are extremely pleased with the service TJ provides and we’ve never had a negative experience when dealing with them.
