Section 278 .
At Matte Black Surfacing, we deliver high-quality Section 278 (S278) asphalt works, providing compliant, precision-installed highway surfacing solutions for developments that interface with the public highway. We work closely with local authorities, developers, and main contractors to ensure all works are carried out safely, efficiently, and in full accordance with approved designs and specifications.
Our Approach.
We understand the importance of accuracy, durability, and compliance in Section 278 projects. Our team undertakes all asphalt surfacing works in line with approved drawings, method statements, and traffic management plans.
Using modern paving equipment — including laser-levelled pavers where required — we install asphalt to tight tolerances, ensuring correct levels, falls, and tie-ins to existing highway infrastructure. This guarantees smooth transitions, effective drainage, and long-term performance.
