Benefits of Using URRO Blocks

URRO blocks are an environmentally friendly way to reuse old tyres. They have been used in America for a number of years, including as a base under some of New York's busiest roads. Northern Tyre Disposals is the first company to bring this technology to Britain and pioneer its use in the construction industry. The blocks have already been used in a number of projects with excellent results, including road construction, land ersosion, landfill sites and wall construction.

The benefits of URRO blocks include:

  • Lightweight Low Earth Pressure
  • High Load Bearing Capacity
  • Excellent Thermal Insulation
  • Improved Drainage
  • Already Compressed
  • Uniform Block Size
  • Readily Stackable
  • Easier Building and Placement
  • Recycled Material
  • Environmentally Safe
  • Lower Cost
  • Stable through a Wide Range of Temperatures
  • Virtually industructable
