Day 12 - Laying the tarmac


Here are a couple of photographs of the start of laying the coarse lower tarmac, which is delivered in 20 ton lots (2 loads will be spread today) at high temperatures. The job will take 2-3 days to complete. A decision will then be made whether to lay the finer top layer which has to be laid at a temperature of 170deg C and this depends upon the weather to ensure that it lays correctly.
