EXPERTISE
ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE – OXFORD AND REGENT STREET, LONDONSurface deformation had been a persistent problem for many years due to a combination of heavy bus trafficking and the poor condition of underlying lean concrete. Since both roads were resurfaced with ULTILAYER four years ago there has been no sign of the problem reoccurring.
The more highly trafficked a road or footpath is the more maintenance it is likely to require. However, the disruption caused by closing whole sections of a busy street, road or motorway for any length of time often means that full depth reconstruction is out of the question. To meet this challenge Lafarge Tarmac has developed a range of industry-leading
asphalt products that allow long-lasting repairs to be carried out in a single pass, minimising disruption to pedestrians and road users. ULTIFASTPATH, ULTIFASTPAVE AND ULTIPAVE SINGLE LAYER, allow pathways, car parks and highly trafficked roads to be resurfaced quickly and cost effectively. ULTILAYER and ULTIMAT provide a fast, efficient solution to reflective
cracking and surface deformation, two of the most persistent problems to affect the UK’s roads. ULTIPAVE and ULTIFLEX are specially formulated for resurfacing motorways and busy trunk roads. At the other end of the scale, ULTIPATCH provides a quick, long-lasting, all weather solution for pothole repairs.

ULTIMATE EXPERIENCEM65 Junction 7 – 8, Dunkenhalgh.
A 20mm layer of ULTIPAVE Single Layer was used to replace both the regulating and surface course of the M65. As a result material costs were reduced by £90,000 and the work was completed in 17 shifts rather than 26, saving a further £66,000.

ULTIMATE RESISTANCEPractical and cost-effective, Lafarge Tarmac’s high strength solutions offer enhanced resistance to fuel attack, ensuring long-lasting performance in heavy load-bearing locations.
Conventional asphalt is not strong enough for many heavy-duty applications and only provides limited resistance to fuel attack. To meet this ever present challenge Lafarge Tarmac has created an innovative range of asphalts that deliver long-lasting results even in the most challenging and extreme environments.
Incorporating advanced binder technology, ULTISHIELD is very strong and durable, providing a fuel-resisting, practical and highly cost-effective asphalt solution for service stations, bus depots, lorry parks, lay-bys and taxi ranks. ULTICRETE takes our solutions further for even higher stressed locations. Applying grout to the specially designed open graded receiving course provides a joint-less surface ideal for loading bays, aircraft refueling facilities and port areas subjected to heavy container point loading. ULTIPHALT HD provides a tough, hard-working surface for commercial applications. Whilst ULTIDRIVE offers a long- lasting solution for residential driveways, roads and footpaths.

ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE – HEATHROW AIRPORT. SOUTHERN RUNWAY, LONDONAs a framework supplier to Heathrow we have supplied over one million tonnes of materials for the development of the airport over the last four years. In 2013 we completed the rehabilitation of the southern runway, resurfacing an area spanning 170,000m² (equivalent to 24 football pitches).
To produce world-class cyclists, athletes, tennis players and footballers, you need world-class tracks, courts and practice facilities. To meet this challenge Lafarge Tarmac has developed a range of high performance asphalts, which provide tough, consistent surfaces and deliver excellent weather resistance. ULTISPORT TENNIS and ULTISPORT MUGA provide hard-wearing, low maintenance, fret-resistant surfaces for tennis courts and
multi-use games areas. ULTITRACK delivers a smooth running, parabolic surface for cycling velodromes, which is achieved using a unique, specially developed laying technique. Completing the range, ULTIPLAY is ideal for playgrounds and joint-use sporting facilities, providing the sporting stars of the future with a safe, low abrasion surface on which they can hone their skills.

ULTIMATE EXPERIENCEThe only provider of asphalt specifically formulated for use in velodromes, Lafarge Tarmac has played a leading role in the construction of specialist cycling facilities across the UK including Bournemouth and Herne Hill.
ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE - M25, LONDON Over 17,000m² of the existing surface of the M25 was removed and reprocessed at our Hayes asphalt plant, then returned for reuse on the original site. The new road surface contains 40% Recycled Asphalt Pavement, the highest amount ever on a major road maintained by the Highways Agency.
Meeting the housing, social and economic needs of the UK’s growing population, without compromising our international sustainability commitments, requires innovative construction solutions. To meet this challenge Lafarge Tarmac has developed a range of sustainable products that minimise the impact of the expansion of the built environment.
We are the UK’s leading producer of recycled and secondary aggregates, processing over two million tonnes every year. We also have a network of depots across the UK that collect road arisings and reprocess
them for reuse on the original site. ULTIFOAM, our groundbreaking road recycling system takes this a step further enabling up to 88% of road arisings to be recycled and reused on site.
ULTIDRIVE POROUS asphalt and ULTIFLOW sub-base aggregates allow water to pass through the road surface and sub-base, reducing the threat of flooding. Whilst ULTISuDS offers a complete Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) solution, with the option for rainwater to be stored for use in non-potable applications.
SUSTAINABLE AND POROUS SOLUTIONS
COMMITMENT
ULTIMATE IMPACTSurface flooding typically occurs when rainfall exceeds 150mm per hour. Lafarge Tarmac ULTISuDS has the capacity to absorb 5,000mm per hour, significantly reducing the risk of localised flooding.
ULTISuDS, our unique Sustainable
Drainage System (SuDS), allows rainwater to penetrate the porous
asphalt surface so it can be filtered through a specially designed aggregate sub-base that removes contaminants, including sand, silt, organics, and heavy metals. It then
acts as a reservoir to allow controlled release into the environment or
use in non-potable water applications.
Simple, clear demarcation of junctions, cycle lanes and bus routes plays an important role in road safety. Traditionally this has been done by painting on white or coloured lines, which is labour intensive and requires ongoing maintenance. To meet this challenge Lafarge Tarmac has developed a
range of coloured asphalts that offer all the functional qualities of conventional asphalt and provide a permanent, colour-fast finish. Made using an innovative, clear synthetic binder, ULTICOLOUR provides a stunning smooth, textured surface that will not fade over time. Quicker to install and more durable than
traditional anti-skid materials, ULTICOLOUR BAUXITE offers a longer lasting, cost-effective, solution for road junctions. Whilst ULTIFINISH combines coloured aggregates with a black bitumen binder, which can be removed using jet washing after installation, providing a bright, vibrant finish at a minimal cost.
ULTIMATE EXPERIENCELafarge Tarmac’s coloured asphalts have been used at many landmark locations including Horse Guards Parade and The Mall, London and St. George’s Square, Glasgow.
COLOURDEMARCATION AND AESTHETIC ASPHALT SOLUTIONS
ULTICOLOUR is available in a range of stunning colours. Bespoke shades complement the brick and stonework of heritage buildings and landmark sites. The dynamic primary range is perfect for demarcation.
