Overview

VubaMac consists of three innovative layers designed to create an eco-friendly, "Reduced Dig" base suitable for pedestrian traffic. This system incorporates Vuba's SRM (Structural Reinforcement Mesh), VubaMac Resin combined with recycled aggregate, topped with a traditional Vuba Resin Bound Surfacing layer.

By using an MOT Type 3 base instead of conventional materials like asphalt or concrete, VubaMac offers a sustainable alternative. It is fully SUDS-compliant and ideal for use in Tree Root Protection Areas.

Layer System

Vuba Surface

15mm minimum depth. Binding quartz is not essential, but improves slip resistance.

VubaMac 15mm

This is a regulating layer over the capping layer. The VubaMac can be spread over the surface using a lute and does not need to be compacted.

SRM Base-Layer

The SRM spreads the load and allows fast overlayment, as well as providing a structural skeleton to the system.

Capping Layer

This is a 25mm layer of 5-10mm angular stone, well compacted on to the existing sub-base.

No Fines Stone / Clean Stone / MOT Type 3

To be installed at 125mm as standard and up to 225mm if there are concerns about permeability of the sub soil. Stone to be from 20mm up to 50mm in size.

Geotextile Membrane

A Geotextile Membrane ought to be installed from the farthest edge of the perimeter throughout the project. Ensure to correctly specify the grade of material.

Sub-Soil

It is important to determine the type of sub soil, as this will influence the specification of the sub-base and/or ground drainage requirements.
