Reliable asphalt storage

Newlay Asphalt is an independent asphalt supplier providing a fast, efficient, and friendly service to both trade and the public. Responding to increasing demand in 2022, they expanded their capacity with a new product plant. Opus is a fabric structure that connects to Legato concrete blocks, creating a robust covered space, keeping loose recycling and aggregates storage bays.

Increased production required more raw material inputs; as a result, Newlay Asphalts invested in Opus to create a dry environment that reduces moisture in their recycled asphalt pavement (RAP).

Energy-Efficient Aggregate Storage

When wet, aggregates must be warmed before manufacturing to reduce moisture content. As energy costs rise, storage that reduces the need for pre-heating RAP keeps costs down.

Purpose-built for dry material storage, Opus maximises natural ventilation and reduces condensation. Its open-front design ensures easy access to standard machinery while promoting increased airflow within the structure.

The engineered air vent enhances airflow further without compromising water ingress because of the well-designed, inbuilt guttering. Opus maintains a dry environment, outperforming conventional buildings.

With the UK’s rainy weather in mind, Opus offers exceptional water resistance. Its rounded canopy design ensures water runoff, avoiding the build-up of moss, leaves, and moisture typical of traditional buildings.

A Strategic Investment for Sustainable Growth

Opus is a dry storage space supporting Newlay Asphalt’s growing business; working in conjunction with RSG Structures Ltd we created a highly productive asset that helps them manage their raw materials, achieving long-term cost savings.
