planings

By Friday the planings had been completely spread.

Since preservation large amounts of aggregate and road planings have been used to create an all weather hard standing that serves as a car park.

It would be appreciated if the planings can be delivered as soon as possible.

The core material would be highway 'planings', which are basically what is scraped off a road before it is re-surfaced.

This also includes rock crushing, and collection and recycling of road planings together with the use of Permasoil/Instamac.

It was Dave who organised the hiring of the heavy machinery; Rory liaised with the contractors who would deliver the planings.

RESOLVED That quotations for the cost of raking the paths and adding a final coat of asphalt planings be sought.

SBA/PC April 2001 November 2000 Re-use 4000 tonnes of road planings for repair of verge rut damage, haunching, rights of way and emergency repairs to minimal maintenance rural roads.

The surface will initially be scraped by a small bulldozer, and the volunteers will then bring in the foundations, consisting of highway planings, on dumpers, and lay this to a depth of about 8 inches.

In the end, EGBT were willing to put in more money for a more environmentally-friendly mode of working, and we agreed that the planings would be off-loaded at the end of the path, and then ferried in on dumper trucks.

As per telephone conversation with David Henderson, please supply 200 tons of highway planings, of which 100 tons to canalside at Gogar Station Road, and 100 tons to canalside at Hermiston House Road (see map below).

On Tuesday deliveries of the planings began, and for the rest of the week two of us, both volunteers, drove dumper trucks to deposit the material in small piles, which the bulldozer later smoothed out (driving dumper trucks proved a popular occupation - there was no shortage of helpers to relieve us for breaks.
