MILES MACADAM MANUFACTURING LIMITED

What MILES MACADAM MANUFACTURING LIMITED does

Miles Macadam Manufacturing Limited is a privately held UK manufacturer and installer of grouted macadam surface course systems, founded in 1970 and headquartered in Malpas, Cheshire. The company develops, certifies, and installs five core product families — Hardicrete, Hardipave, Milepave, Milepave Ultra, and Pacopatch — alongside sustainability-focused variants Biopave and BIOSEAL. All flagship products hold BBA Agrément or BBA/HAPAS certifications, providing the regulatory basis for specification into UK highways, bus infrastructure, ports, industrial and distribution, and waste site projects. The technology combines a design-mix open-graded receiving course with either cementitious or asphaltic grout to produce a jointless, impermeable surface that resists rutting, fuel and leachate contamination, and water ingress while delivering documented 30-year service lives in the most demanding applications.

The company operates a specification-driven, sales-led go-to-market, securing revenue through direct installation contracts with local authority highways departments, government bodies (Luton, Reading, Cornwall, Wiltshire, Newcastle, Nottingham, and others), and enterprise end users (DP World, EDF Energy/Hinkley Point C, Müller, Scania, Wembley Stadium, Port of Dover, Certas Energy, Compass Minerals). It also delivers projects as a subcontractor to main contractors including McPhillips, Colas, Jackson Civils, Knights Brown, Cormac, Grattan Developments, and GW Highways. Pricing is project-based and custom, with no publicly disclosed unit rates; contracts typically span multi-year horizons. Marketing relies on a corporate website with detailed case studies, LinkedIn and Instagram presence, and co-delivery of the Highways Live roadshow in partnership with RSTA and UKRLG.

Revenue mechanics rest on tendered project work, framework agreements, and recurring maintenance/ironwork reinstatement. The firm holds ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, NHSS16, SSIP, CHAS, Construction Line Gold, SafeContractor, Cyber Essentials, and Smart Carbon certifications, and has recorded zero non-conformances on recent NQA surveillance and BBA site-in-progress audits. A Knowledge Transfer Partnership with Aston University, ongoing since 2020, supports materials R&D, while a 2025 product wave centred on carbon capture (Biopave with Biochar, BIOSEAL grout) repositions the offering around UK net-zero procurement mandates.

Products and services

• Hardicrete™ BBA certified cementitious grouted macadam surface course engineered to withstand intense loadings and fuel or leachate contamination, intended for high-stress bus infrastructure, ports, industrial distribution yards, and waste sites.
• Hardipave™ BBA HAPAS certified cementitious grouted macadam surface course designed for high stress junctions, roundabouts, bus infrastructure, ports, industrial applications, and waste sites, featuring a design mix open graded receiving course with controlled void content reinforced with resin cementitious grout and a short curing period for fast installation.
• Milepave™ BBA/HAPAS approved reduced carbon asphaltic grouted macadam combining microasphalt, slurry sealing, and conventional surfacing benefits, designed for flexible or concrete rural and urban highways with lower mixing temperatures, lower energy use, and lower bitumen content.
• Milepave Ultra™ PMB BBA/HAPAS certified polymer-modified asphalt grouted macadam surface course for high stress flexible and concrete highways, combining a paver-laid polymer-modified open graded asphalt surface course sealed with asphaltic grout, high tensile strength polymer-modified bitumen, and a secondary seal for enhanced durability and reduced whole-life carbon emissions.
• Pacopatch™ Innovative polymer-based bituminous repair system that provides permanent reinstatement of ironwork in asphalt or concrete pavements, eliminating future maintenance with improved structural integrity, no compaction required, quick installation, and a 5-year warranty.
• Biopave™ Reduced carbon surfacing product incorporating SteelPhalt steel slag aggregate (eliminating virgin aggregate use) and Biochar within the surface course and grout to capture and permanently store carbon within the road structure, supporting net zero targets.
• BIOSEAL™ Biogenically modified asphaltic grout that acts as a Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) vessel to permanently lock away carbon within the road structure, enabling zero carbon road surfacing materials when used in combination with Milepave™.
