ROAD CONSTRUCTION & INFRASTRUCTURE
Bituminous Road Construction
Bituminous road construction combines a prepared base with asphalt layers to create a practical driving surface for access roads and site networks.
Overview
The performance of a bituminous road depends on more than the final black surface. Ground preparation, granular base layers, binder courses and the wearing course must work together. Jay Ambe offers bituminous road execution for industrial, commercial and residential settings, with bitumen and emulsion supply available as part of the broader service. The layer build-up is selected for the site’s traffic, levels and drainage requirements.
Explore our Road Construction & Bitumen Work Specification for material and layer details, and see Our Equipment for the machinery behind the work.
Key capabilities
- Preparation from formation through finished surface
- Coordination of base, binder and wearing layers
- Bitumen and emulsion application considered at the right stages
- Paving, rolling and finishing suited to site access
Scope of work
- Set out the road alignment and review formation levels.
- Prepare and compact the subgrade and specified GSB or WMM layers.
- Apply prime coat where the selected base and design require it.
- Lay the specified BM or DBM binder course and BC or other wearing surface.
- Use tack coat at the relevant interface, then compact and finish the surface.

Frequently asked questions
A typical scheme may include prepared ground, granular base, a binder course and a wearing course. The approved design determines which layers are needed.
Prime coat is used on a suitable granular base before bituminous surfacing; tack coat helps bond one bituminous layer to another.
Yes. Repair or resurfacing may be appropriate after the existing pavement and levels are assessed.
