Tolent Construction Limited
"Tarmac supplied aggregates to our contract on the 1950's town & 1820's Coaching Inn project at Beamish Museum. The priority for the museum was ensuring the safety of visitors at all times whilst delivering a challenging project. Tarmac utilised their fleet of innovative walking floor trailers to ensure bulk deliveries were made safely and on time. Difficult ground conditions on various parts of the site were overcome by using the walking floors vehicles which also helped us fulfil the tight programme schedule".
