Mastic Asphalt - MBM Paving
Mastic Asphalt (MA) is increasingly used in Ireland as a reinstatement alternative to Hot Rolled Asphalt, particularly around ironworks.
Pre-Coated chippings can be applied to the surface to match surrounding HRA although this Mastic Asphalt product also contains high PSV grit within the mix to improve skid resistance.
The MA is heated on site using a mastic boiler and laid by hand, leveled, chipped and finished. Roller compaction is not required. It is good practice to paint the edges of ironwork and surrounding asphalt with a bituminous liquid.
The product is also ideal for use on car park decks or bridge decks.
The main advantages of MA over HRA are:
- Heated on site in quantities as required
- Left over material can be re-heated
- No need for rollers or large pieces of plant on site.
- No travelling to or waiting at Asphalt plant
The raw material is delivered in one tonne pallets, with each block weighing c. 12kg
The product is a "Mastic Asphalt for use on roads, airfields and other trafficked areas produced in accordance with EN 13108, Part 6"
