EXPRESS ASPHALT TURNS UP THE HEAT AT STOCKPORT

Express Asphalt, which specialises in the collection and delivery of asphalt for building and construction projects, has invested in new hot storage bins at its Stockport plant based in Bredbury, Greater Manchester, to significantly reduce waiting times for customers.

The Stockport plant produces a full range of asphalt products including special coloured asphalts such as Bardon Europave, red asphalts, pre-coating chippings and also offers a selection of merchanting products for sale, such as wheelbarrows, gloves and hand tools.

Targeting local authorities, utility reinstatement contractors, local surfacing and construction companies and pavers in and around Greater Manchester and Cheshire, the installation of two new asphalt hot storage bins, which together offer a total capacity of 100 tonnes, will be of direct benefit to collect trade customers.

Express Asphalt business manager for Stockport, Stuart Race, comments, “This latest investment aims to further enhance the service we offer customers, by significantly reducing waiting times and increasing vehicle turnaround times. In addition the extra capacity will enable us to increase the amount of asphalt deliveries we make within the region.”

Express Asphalt has a network of plants throughout the UK which are easily accessible by transport networks and carefully located to reduce travelling times for collections by local customers. All plants are able to produce small quantities of asphalt and are designed to allow quick and efficient loading.
