msh paving wrote:round hear tarmac planings are used by a lot off contractors,the local council highways dpt. stockpile and use them for alot of footpath reconstruction work,£13.75 a ton is about the rate, if a planing job is going down its a big fight who will get them local higways wont let them go , i guess its just how it goes in different area's type 1 from mt.sorrel is very expensive cambs. spec limestone is about £14.75 ton which is a little bit bigger stone than type 1 :;):
You wait, you see a cold planer going into town on a 'loader - watch out for the planings magpies following it!!!!!
In fact, all planings should go to a licensed tip/recycling centre - and not dumped on someones land, even if paying.

i know haha 
we got about 5 wagon loads of kerbs a few years ago from the council as they were replacing all the ones on the main road near our yard, we've still got pallets of them and a few retaining walls built out of them rd the yard. come in handy every time the ditch collapses on our lane.

5 miles from quarry to yard, 20 minute round trip for the wagons to tip reload and get back to us very handy

theres a lad round our way uses planings as base course. lays it at 2" compacts it solid, emulsions it ,heats it with a propane torch then puts a generous layer of topping on it. im not saying this is correct but there are a good few jobs i know of around here that hes done over the past few years and theyve lasted well. no rutting or lifting. hard to believe but true. ???

Basically regenerating it - there is a similar material available from our local tarmac roadstone plant - never used it though.

is it like planings or is it a coated material..?
Posted: Mon Dec 08, 2008 7:12 pm

A coated recylced aggregate as far as I remember.

the only problem is that the proper stuff will be fully coated whereas the planings with emulsion on will only have like a skin on top...i think..! ??? would it be strong enough.?
