Project Review

Birmingham City Council is responsible for maintaining the streets in Birmingham as requiring urgent tarmacing due to extensive wear and tear. The road had developed numerous potholes and surface defects, which posed safety hazards for motorists and pedestrians and contributed to an overall decline in the street’s appearance. Albiecon Group was tasked with revitalising the road surface to enhance safety and aesthetics.

  • Surface Degradation: The road surface was heavily damaged with numerous potholes and cracks, requiring extensive preparation before resurfacing.

  • Traffic Management: Goodman Street is a busy thoroughfare, necessitating careful planning to minimise disruption to traffic and local businesses.

  • Weather Conditions: The project was scheduled during a period of unpredictable weather, which required flexibility in planning and execution.

The primary goal was to restore the road surface to a high standard, ensuring longevity and improved safety for all road users.

Solution

Albiecon Group implemented a comprehensive approach to address the challenges:

  1. Surface Preparation: We began by excavating the damaged areas of the road and removing the old tarmac. This step included repairing the underlying roadbed to ensure a stable foundation for the new surface.
  2. Tarmac Resurfacing: Once the surface was prepared, we applied a new layer of tarmac. Our team used high-quality materials and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure a smooth, durable finish. The tarmac was laid in layers, with each layer compacted to achieve the desired thickness and resilience.
  3. Road Marking: After the tarmac was set, we reinstated road markings to ensure clear traffic guidance. This included repainting lines and symbols according to current road safety standards.
  4. Site Clean-up: The final step involved a thorough clean-up of the site. We ensured all debris was removed and that the road was left in excellent condition for use.

Results

The resurfaced road on Goodman Street now boasts a smooth, even surface, eliminating the previous hazards posed by potholes and cracks. The improved road condition has enhanced safety for both drivers and pedestrians, and the refreshed appearance of the street has positively impacted the local area. The project was completed on schedule, with minimal disruption to traffic and local businesses.
