The laboratory also carries out extensive new product development in conjunction with the Road Materials Laboratory to ensure that Irish Tar & Bitumen Suppliers are at the forefront of innovation in the road construction industry.

Road Materials Laboratory

The Road Materials Laboratory was established at Irish Tar to assist our customers in designing and assessing a wide range of bituminous materials. The laboratory carries out mix design and verification testing in accordance with any relevant European Standards or Irish Specifications. Testing facilities at the laboratory can also be used to assess the in-situ performance of bituminous materials.

In conjunction with the Binder Laboratory, the Road Material Laboratory is also used to develop and assess new products and binders for use in the road construction industry.
