Surfacing for Docks, Harbours and Ports

What we do

• Hot tarmac pothole and patch repairs to quaysides, yards and access roads
• Planing off and relaying worn sections
• Machine-laid SMA or heavy-duty asphalt for lorry parks and loading areas
• Car parks for harbour offices, ferry users and visitors
• Trench reinstatements after drainage or cable work

Built for heavy loads

On working harbours we look closely at the base and drainage before quoting. Heavy-duty asphalt laid on a properly prepared base, with sealed joints and good falls to the drainage, lasts far longer than surface patching alone.

Working around tides, landings and shifts

Docks rarely close. We plan work around landings, ferry times and shift patterns, work in phases and keep routes open, and agree traffic management with the harbour master or site manager.

Where we work

We have carried out tarmac repair work at working shipping and fishing yards (see our Fraserburgh and Oban gallery projects) and can quote for harbours and ports around the Scottish coast, from the Clyde and Ayrshire coast to the east coast, the north-east and the west Highland ports.
