Ramsden Hall Academy

Overview

KDG Surfacing was appointed to undertake essential tarmac road surfacing at Ramsden Hall Academy, a specialist school catering to students with additional needs. The project aimed to provide a smooth, durable, and long-lasting surface that could withstand the daily demands of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. As part of our commitment to delivering high-quality surfacing solutions, we worked closely with the academy to ensure minimal disruption while achieving a safe, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing result.

Scope of Work

To achieve the best possible outcome for Ramsden Hall Academy, KDG Surfacing followed a structured approach to ensure precision and durability:

• Excavation and preparation of the existing surface – We carefully removed any unstable material and levelled the base to ensure a strong foundation for the new road. Proper groundwork is essential for a long-lasting and resilient surface.
• Application of high-quality tarmac surfacing – Using premium-grade asphalt, we laid a new, smooth, and even surface, designed to handle constant use from vehicles, school transport, and pedestrians while resisting wear and weather-related damage.
• Attention to detail for improved safety and functionality – Our team ensured that the newly surfaced road met the necessary grading and drainage requirements, reducing the risk of water pooling and improving grip for both vehicles and pedestrians.

Results

The successful completion of this project has provided Ramsden Hall Academy with a durable and reliable road surface that enhances daily operations and improves safety for students, staff, and visitors. The new tarmac surface offers:

• Longevity & durability – The high-quality materials used ensure the surface can withstand frequent use with minimal wear.
• Improved safety – The smooth and even finish reduces trip hazards, enhances skid resistance, and supports safer movement for both vehicles and pedestrians.
• Low maintenance – With a properly prepared base and premium surfacing materials, the road requires minimal upkeep, saving time and costs in the long run.
• Enhanced appearance – A freshly laid tarmac road adds to the overall aesthetics of the academy, giving the grounds a more professional and well-maintained look.
