Tarmac in Kilkenny
Straight answers to what people ask at the site visit.
Tarmacadam is stone mixed with a tar binder. It is easy to work while it is hot, and once it cools and sets it is hard wearing, which is why it is used on roads and driveways.
Laid on a good base and looked after, tarmac can last 25 years. How long depends on the traffic and the weather; under heavy use it may need some repairs after 10 to 12 years.
Very little. The one thing to watch is oil from cars and machinery, which breaks the tar down faster than normal wear.
Tarmac can be given a new lease of life with a new surface. It costs less than a new driveway because the groundwork is already done, as long as the base is checked and repaired first.
A real job
Ardnore, Kilkenny City, spring 2021. An old concrete drive and a front lawn, turned into one tidy tarmac driveway: grass out, kerbs set for flower beds, entrance widened, a pier rebuilt, new tarmac down.
Our Kilkenny tarmacadam process
Eight stages, from the site visit to the tarmac curing.
We look at the area, listen to your ideas and point out anything that needs attention.
From the site visit we put together a quote for the job.
Where needed, the ground is dug out and the extra material taken away, to get a solid surface for the kerbs, services and tarmac.
Kerbs go in where the job needs them.
Ducting for current and future services, so nothing has to be dug up later.
The base is finished and checked before any tarmac arrives.
The part where it all changes: hot tarmac spread, raked and rolled.
The new tarmac is left to harden and settle before it takes full use.
