Resurfacing Programme Frequently Asked Questions
Stone Mastic Asphalt is a specially modified bituminous material within the Thin Surfacing or Thin Veneer family, which is hot laid over the road surface by a paving machine. It is a relatively new product developed by the road industry to provide benefits of a smooth quiet surface without the need for expensive reconstruction of the pavement underneath.
This treatment is used on roads with high traffic flows that
have severe irregularities or structural problems. Because the
material has a high strength it can be laid in relatively thin
layers.
