What would a typical build up be for a Grouted Macadam pavement?
This would vary dependent on specific design criteria for the application/environment. Subject to receipt of all relevant design criteria for the works a design would be calculated and detailed proposals for construction submitted. In general the construction depths are determined by type and frequency of traffic, static or dynamic loads, design life, CBR values/SI report and any other project specific requirements.

How much does Grouted macadam cost compared to concrete?
In general Grouted macadam is cost comparable to concrete. The cost depends on what the construction depths are and what materials are used as a basecourse supporting layer underneath the Grouted macadam. These can vary subject to loadings and trafficking. We can prepare budget quotes upon request from our extensive database of designs for various market sectors.

What guarantees come with CIP system?
We offer guarantees for new build and refurbishment applications.

What design service is provided?
CIP Ltd work in conjunction with a Danish design consultancy called Ramboll who have been designing grouted macadam pavements for many years now. They use the analytical empirical design approach which is ideally suited to semi flexible pavements. Over the last 10 years representing the UK CIP Ltd have a vast database of designs for many applications in numerous market sectors.

How are grouted macadams installed?
CIP Ltd take full responsibility for supply and installation of the Grouted Macadam pavement system. We cover all of the UK regions and operate regional partnerships with major specialist surfacing contractors. The basecourse is installed via traditional paving equipment. The traditional grouted macadam is a two part process; the first part to be laid is the open graded asphalt which is produced to our recipe then laid via traditional paving equipment. The traditional Grouted Macadam is a two part process; the first part to be laid is the open graded asphalt which is produced to our recipe then laid via traditional paving equipment. The OGA is laid hot and once it has cooled down to below 30°C the mortar is then poured onto the OGA.
