Applications know-how

An understanding of how roads are built is necessary for an appreciation of the importance of the role played by asphalt. Modern road design and construction techniques are aimed at building flexible road layers or courses so the tensile and compressive stresses imposed by passing traffic is distributed evenly through these layers according to their relative strengths. Therefore, neither the ground supporting the road nor the individual layers are permanently deformed by these concentrated stresses.

BP Asphalt are committed to the ongoing research and development of quality, safe products which are technically designed and scientifically formulated to meet the growing needs of the road construction and maintenance industry.
