SUMMARY

LCM partnered with Durham County Council and MGL Group to deliver County Durham's first-ever net zero asphalt scheme.

ACLA® was used by MGL Group to produce 220 tonnes net-zero binder course asphalt, which was laid as part of the Elvet Hill Road resurfacing project in Durham.

"This new material will play a key role in carbon reduction and, when used in conjunction with other sustainable materials, allows the whole project to be significantly lower in emissions than standard resurfacing works."

Alan Patrickson

Durham County Council’s Corporate Director for Neighbourhoods and Climate Change

MGL Group's in-house companies played a vital role in this project: Tynedale Roadstone produced the net zero asphalt, and Rainton Construction handled the expert laying of the material.
