VubaMac Base Build Up: Vehicle Traffic

December 6, 2025
Vuba VubaMac Technical Vehicle Traffic

Overview

Our VubaMac system comprises four distinct layers, engineered to create an environmentally friendly, "Reduced Dig" base suitable for vehicle traffic. This innovative solution incorporates Vuba's SRM (Structural Reinforcement Mesh), VubaMac Resin combined with recycled aggregate, topped with a traditional Vuba Resin Bound Surfacing layer as the final finish.

Unlike conventional methods that rely on asphalt or concrete, VubaMac enables Resin Bound Surfacing to be installed directly onto an MOT Type 3 base. VubaMac is fully SUDS-compliant and perfectly suited for Tree Root Protection Areas.

Layer System

1

Vuba Surface

18mm minimum depth in one of the BBA Approved Vuba Blends with binding quartz.

2

SRM Mid-Layer

The SRM spreads the load and allows fast overlayment, as well as providing a structural skeleton to the system. Roll the mesh out over the VubaMac while wet, and set it in place.

3

VubaMac 30mm

This is the base course layer over the capping layer. The VubaMac can be spread over the surface using a lute, and can be compacted with a roller, trowel or power trowel.

4

SRM Base-Layer

This provides structural support and load bearing capacity to the entire system.

5

Capping Layer

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

6

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.

7

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.

8

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.
