The HALO family of products also includes RubberPave/+ which
incorporates recycled tyres combined with Huyton Asphalt’s HALO low carbon
material to provide an environmentally sustainable asphalt with a reduced
carbon footprint. RubberPave/+ has been laid on 6 schemes.

As part of the ongoing drive for  sustainability and innovation, Huyton
Asphalt has installed HALO base and binders on 25 schemes in the North West.

After Huyton Asphalt presented the benefits of their sustainable product HALO to Persimmon Homes, the team carried out the surfacing requirements as part The Willows development in Earlestown, Newton-le-Willows.

Huyton Asphalt installed a new road infrastructure to support the new development and, as part of their commitment to innovation and sustainability, laid the latest innovative low carbon HALO product across the site.

HALO is a sustainable alternative to conventional asphalts. It is a low temperature base and binder containing recycled materials revolutionising the surfacing industry by creating a carbon-friendly product that offers exceptional performance compared to conventional asphalts.

The housing development in Lostock Hall is owned by Morris Homes, one of the country’s largest privately owned house builders. Based in Cheshire, they provide new homes across the North West, Midlands and South of England. The site required surfacing installation and HALO accredited installers, Huyton Asphalt, was appointed.

HALO’s Rubber Pave was provided throughout the project in a move that made these the first ‘rubber roads’ in a new housing development.

HALO’s Rubber Pave enables old tyres to be converted into new roads and footpaths. As a result, they help to offset the environmental impact of highways maintenance activities, contributing significantly to the wider sustainability drive.

Rubber Pave incorporates recycled tyres combined with HALO warm-mix asphalt technology to provide an environmentally sustainable asphalt with a reduced carbon footprint.

Typically, one tyre per tonne of asphalt is recycled, giving the potential to recycle about 500 tyres per kilometre of road, depending on layer thickness.

In terms of the performance of HALO Rubber Pave vs a conventional SMA materials performance, testing has found that that the use of the rubber mechanically restricts crack propagation and that it provides some low grade PMB flexibility benefits.

In addition, HALO Rubber Pave delivers similar performance characteristics to those required from a 50 pen SMA and provides superior performance in terms of restricting crack propagation.

As a North West-based business, it is a pleasure to be able to serve the city of Liverpool and bring our leading, cutting edge innovation to the city’s network.

Since 2020, we have laid more than 19,000 tonnes of HALO across the city.

The Huyton Asphalt Group of businesses and our HALO product supports the Liverpool City Council Climate Change Emergency Declaration to be a Zero Carbon Local Authority by 2030.

The M6 Sink Moss to Guidepost scheme covers 3km on the Northbound and Southbound section of M6 (J20). Huyton Asphalt was appointed as part of the ‘Do something’ scheme that addresses underlying defects to repair and resurface the carriageway.

As Principal Contractor on this project, Huyton Asphalt managed each aspect of the scheme overseeing 15,561 operational hours on site with zero injuries and accidents. An absolute commitment to exemplary Health and Safety is part of the DNA of our business and we’re proud to uphold exceptional standards on all projects regardless of scale and complexity.

Due to the location of the works, the ability to secure roadspace was a significant challenge. The high-profile nature of schemes running simultaneously on M62 – Smart Motorway, J19 – SRM, M56 – Remedial works and M&H, Huyton Asphalt worked in close collaboration with contractors and Highways England in order to ensure all projects were coordinated. Remaining agile with transparent and consistent communication ensured that closures were kept to a minimum which ultimately reduced disruption to road users.

To maximise productivity during the restricted timescales, we used HALO, Huyton Asphalt’s sustainable alternative to conventional asphalts.

With HALO low temperature base and binder, cooling times are significantly reduced which meant the impact on traffic was minimised and short working windows maximised. HALO contains recycled materials revolutionising the surfacing industry by creating a low carbon product that offers exceptional performance compared to conventional asphalts.

We are proud to work with Highways England to leave a tangible environmental impact with a innovative product that uses reclaimed asphalt pavements to drive sustainability and reduces carbon through use of technology.

We worked with our sister company, HA Civils to complete drainage and manhole reinstatement.

Huyton Asphalt was approached to provide a solution to repair the Cargill and Maritime Junctions at Peel Ports. Both junctions were badly worn away and had irregular deformation from the constant wagon movements in the port. Huyton Asphalt proposed using our innovative HALO technology for the base and binder layers and Ultilayer S 10 for the surface course. This would require us to plane the existing carriageway at a depth of 250mm and replace with 140mm halo base, 60mm halo binder and 50mm Ultilayer S.

HALO is a sustainable alternative to conventional asphalts. It is a low temperature base and binder containing upto 30% reclaimed asphalt pavements using warm mix technology revolutionising the surfacing industry by creating a net zero carbon-friendly product that offers exceptional performance and laying times compared to conventional asphalts.

The project was programmed during afternoons and during weekends in order to minimise disruption to Port operations and maintain traffic flow.

At Huyton Asphalt, we have innovation and sustainability at the forefront of our vision. Providing an environmental product for use on a Port of this scale closes the loop on sustainability by utilising our innovative HALO low carbon technology and use of recycled materials.

Huyton Asphalt was appointed by Laing O’Rourke as the surfacing contractor as part of the £1 billion transformation programme of Manchester Airport. After sharing the benefits of our innovative new sustainable product, HALO (Ultilow), Laing O’Rourke and MAG approved the roll out of this low carbon asphalt across the project. The project involved major improvements and significant investment into upgrading the road network infrastructure and parking facilities on the major project.

With the large investment into the upgrading of the road infrastructure and car parking, we felt this was the perfect opportunity to leave a tangible environmental impact through carbon savings we would produce. By installing future infrastructure through using reclaimed asphalt pavements for sustainability and reducing the carbons by using technology, we are protecting the future of our environment. Making tangible environmental impact on a project of this scale is key to driving a legacy of sustainability.

We adapted our processes in order to continue works during the Covid-19 pandemic and the project was successfully completed in September 2020.

Liverpool City Council appointed Huyton Asphalt to complete essential maintenance and improvement works to Wood Lane and Caldway Drive as part of the Better Roads Highways Improvement Programme.

Wood Lane serves as the primary route, in and out of the City, to nearly 500 homes on the Woodlands Estate and the wider 8000+ residents of Netherley. The surrounding area comprises a high number of cul-de-sacs with the main route in and out of the residential estates via Wood Lane. Any road closures implemented would have had a significant impact on the local community.

The use of public transport in the area is high, with a particularly large dependence on the bus network. Therefore, disruption to the bus route was a huge issue for the residents and local authority and a key consideration during the phasing and methodology of the project.

Following the civil engineering improvements made by HA Civils, our innovative low-carbon recycled material, HALO, was laid for the surfacing element of the works.

This enabled a reduced curing time, facilitating quicker road openings, and demonstrating our commitment to the environment and innovation. HALO is warm mix asphalt technology providing an environmentally-sustainable asphalt with a reduced carbon footprint.

We adapted our processes in order to continue works during the Covid-19 pandemic and the project was completed in June 2020.
