Following its launch at Strictly Highways, Miles Macadam has announced the launch of its newest addition to its product portfolio: Milepave Ultra™.
Milepave Ultra™ is a high-performance grouted macadam surfacing solution designed to deliver exceptional durability, flexibility and long-term value across a wide range of highway applications. Whether it’s a heavily trafficked junction, a busy roundabout or a rural road lined with trees, Milepave Ultra™ has been developed to stand up to the challenges that today’s road networks face. At the heart of the system is a polymer-modified bitumen asphalt surface course which is reinforced using a specially formulated asphaltic grout.
This process helps create a stronger, more resilient surface by sealing joints, reducing aggregate loss and enhancing flexibility. The result is a durable pavement designed to withstand the stresses of everyday traffic while helping to reduce the need for future maintenance. For highway authorities, that means longer-lasting roads, fewer interventions and improved whole-life performance.
Milepave Ultra™ is also designed with sustainability in mind. Through reduced material usage, lower mixing temperatures and enhanced long-term durability compared with traditional asphalt solutions, it can help lower whole-life carbon emissions while continuing to deliver the performance expected from a high-performance surfacing material.
The product is fully BBA/HAPAS certified (Certificate No. 06/H120), giving clients confidence that the system has been independently assessed and approved for use on UK highways.
The official launch of Milepave Ultra™ marks an exciting milestone for Miles Macadam. Innovation has always been at the core of what we do, and this latest addition to our portfolio reflects our ongoing commitment to developing surfacing solutions that help our clients achieve more from their highway assets.
Miles Macadam’s commercial manager Toby Fitzsimmons said:
“We wanted to build on the success of our existing grouted macadam products and take performance a step further. By incorporating polymer-modified bitumen, Milepave Ultra™ offers enhanced durability and strength, making it a valuable addition to our range and giving clients another option for schemes where performance and durability really matter.”
