Putting focus on solar energy

YORKSHIRE-based contractor GMI Construction Group has launched a new business focusing on solar energy for commercial properties.

"It gives us the best of both worlds," he continues. "We are able to use a polymer modified emulsion without having the mess of tires tracking it everywhere."In Clark County, UTACS (pronounced 7/you-tacks77) are gapgraded wearing courses, bonded to the surface by a warm polymer modified membrane, followed immediately by the hot, gapgraded, ultra-thin asphalt concrete friction layer.The spray system works in conjunction with the paving speed and shot rate programmed into the machine. Various nozzle sizes are also available and can be easily changed to accommodate coverage requirements.The system at Pavers boasts 432 solar panels comprising the 100Kw system installed across the 735 square metre roof on Northminister Business Park in York.A new paver has given Las Vegas Paving Corp. entry into the growing market of ultrathin asphalt concrete surfacings (UTACS) in Nevada and the American Southwest.

Leeds-based GMI is now in negotiations for several megawatts sized schemes with a range of clients which are looking to be rolled out in the coming months.
