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 yesterday at 07:23 Share Posted yesterday 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 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago 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...
