During the Autumn, Tom McClean joined us on a technical exchange from Welsh Government and became involved in and extremely interested in our Recycled Aggregate for Minor Schemes (RAMS) project. Tom is now conducting a survey of the construction industry in order to gauge attitudes towards RAMS.

We developed the RAMS specification following the recognition that high quality virgin aggregates were being specified as the unbound sub-base materials for minor schemes such as car parks, cycle paths, estate roads, footpaths etc where very low traffic load is imposed.

He is looking to contact professionals within all sectors of the construction industry, such as civil engineering contractors, local authorities, local government, highway authorities etc, in order to gain insight into any perceived benefits / concerns regarding the use of RAMS materials. All contributions are gratefully received.
