The tyre blocks (also named URRO blocks or Tyre bales) can be used for
a wide range of applications such
as:-

- French drains
- Foundations for Race courses / Horse riding arenas / gallops
Some of the main advantages of using tyre blocks in place of conventional materials (such as aggregates, clays and concrete) are:-
- Lighter weight (30% lighter than soil) and lower earth pressure
- Greatly improved drainage
- High load bearing capacity
- Excellent thermal insulation
- Pre compressed material
- Uniform size of block allows for easy building and placement. Examples
- Use of a recycled material
- Readily stackable
- Environmentally safe
- Substitute for expanded polystyrene (EPS) in construction
- Low cost
- Stable over a wide range of temperatures
- Virtually indestructable
Tyre blocks have been used successfully in many major projects involving road
construction, land erosion and wall construction, roads for wind farms, riverbanks,
ponds and dam construction. Our clients range from local councils to large
or small construction companies alike.
