Getting the right MOT Type 1

Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.
Compaction
Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
Getting MOT Type 1 onto your Newquay site

- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
- Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
