Construction evidence

Live site footage

Filmed on live Hinchliffe projects. This is the construction stage most driveways fail at, and the part you never see once the surface goes down.

Stage 4 — Sub-base
Twin plate compaction of the MOT Type 1 sub-base

Two operatives working the sub-base in layers, so the stone is consolidated across the full formation rather than skimmed over in one pass.

Stage 4 — Sub-base
Roller consolidation to the edge restraints

Vibrating roller taking the compacted stone tight to the kerb line, giving an even, load-bearing formation before the surface layer is installed.

Case studies

Each Hinchliffe case study documents the project as it was surveyed, specified and built, from the existing ground condition through to the warranty documentation issued at handover. Case studies are published only once every detail has been verified against the project record.
