Material Specification
40,000 tonnes SHW Series 600 6N.

Construction

Road construction included the use of Incinerator Bottom Ash Aggregate (IBAA) 6N granular material, placed at up to 800mm.

Benefit

There are also advantages logistically when using IBAA due to the low density of the material allowing for fewer vehicle movements as this gives volumetric advantages over primary materials.
