Mack27 Posted Thursday at 21:14 Share Posted Thursday at 21:14 Hi, with our build about to start, I am looking to install a temporary track/road for the heavy vehicles that will be attending site. Is type 1 MOT what I should be putting down and compacting? Should I install a membrane first? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BotusBuild Posted Thursday at 21:18 Share Posted Thursday at 21:18 Our groundworker stripped the topsoil from where the temp track was going, we laid terram, and then had crushed hardcore (50-75mm) spread on top. MOT1 tends to be a little dearer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpmiller Posted Friday at 07:23 Share Posted Friday at 07:23 check with local demolition and disposal firms, crushed rubble is good for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Ambrose Posted Friday at 17:21 Share Posted Friday at 17:21 Can I ask - are you planning to replace this later, or will it be your driveway base in future? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Posted Saturday at 08:13 Share Posted Saturday at 08:13 You don't want something with lots of fines. It will move about and the fines will washout. You want big stones. We used 100mm crusher run. We'll be skimming it with 50mm of 0-32mm stone, then gravel grids, and then granite gravel as the final drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
