Framework for Surfacing and Planing

Project Overview

Since 2013, Rainton Construction has been the incumbent contractor for highway surfacing solutions in Durham. As a NEPO Highways Surfacing Framework member, we have completed surfacing schemes and miscellaneous patching works throughout the county.

Tynedale Roadstone provide the surfacing materials, and this is laid by our in-house team.

Scope of Works

Our scope of works delivered on this framework is as follows:

• Planing and reinstatement of surface and binder course
• Traffic management
• Inlay patching
• Full reconstruction
• Footways
• Cycleways

Sustainability

Plastipave, our innovative asphalt product incorporating recycled rubber and single-use plastic waste, is a cornerstone of our sustainable highway surfacing solutions in Durham. A recent project on the A689 dual carriageway successfully reused over 6.5 tonnes of waste plastic, demonstrating Plastipave’s environmental benefits

In collaboration with Low Carbon Materials, we pioneered Net Zero Asphalt on Elvet Hill Road. This groundbreaking initiative significantly reduced the project’s carbon footprint, paving the way for a more sustainable future in construction.

Safety and sustainability remain paramount in our approach. A road resurfacing project using Hazigrip on the A167 in Ferryhill enhanced road safety with our innovative anti-skid asphalt technology.

Summary

We are proud to positively impact the local area, and by working together, we can achieve great things for County Durham.
