CEMEX UK Scoops Highways Magazine Excellence For Unique Recycling Achievement

November 06, 2007
Building materials provider, CEMEX UK has won this year's prestigious Highways Magazine Excellence in Recycling Award for a contract carried out on behalf of the Welsh Assembly on the M4 Motorway.

Building materials provider, CEMEX UK has won this year's prestigious Highways Magazine Excellence in Recycling Award for a contract carried out on behalf of the Welsh Assembly on the M4 Motorway.

In the first major contract of its kind in the UK, CEMEX replaced the surface between Junctions 32 and 33 of the M4 with a new, thin surface course system made with 25% recycled asphalt planings content, Viapave-R.

The £1.3 million contract was carried out by CEMEX Construction Services over a five-kilometre section north of Cardiff, which carries a lot of heavy traffic resulting in the old porous asphalt surface course needing replacement after 12 years usage.

The CEMEX entry was judged to be outstanding because of the exceptional level of recycling achieved, the addition of recycled material into the surface course and application on a major motorway, the M4.

It is unusual that recycled asphalt planning (RAP) are added to surface courses, Rather, they tend to be included in base and binder courses with a 10 - 15% recycled content.

The award was presented in the presence of Tom Harris Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport at this year's Highways Magazine Excellence Awards at the Institution of Civil Engineers in London.
