Choosing equipment for roadworks

This work can include formation, grading, paving and compaction. Start with the outcome and constraints before choosing a machine class.

Likely equipment pathways

Details suppliers will need

Share quantities, material type, travel distance, access, ground conditions, attachments, hours, site rules and the target programme. Confirm that any suggested plant suits the risk assessment and work method for your project.

Layer sequence and material

Quantify the work and describe the operating condition rather than relying on a machine name. This helps suppliers recommend a realistic configuration and support plan.

Moisture and density

Measure access, working room and interfaces with people, traffic and services. These constraints can control the machine size and delivery method.

Traffic stages and shift windows

Align transport, operators, attachments, fuel, maintenance, standby and contingency so every quote is based on the same scope.
