Orford Bitumen has three different sized pavers to achieve any sized works. Our pavers lay between 500mm and 4.8 metres wide and are used for the construction and repair of roads, carparks, driveways, footpaths, overlay repairs, sporting fields, infills and trench reinstatements. They are designed to form by laying smooth asphalt surfaces at several types of depths with a level finish.
Orford Bitumen has several types of rollers:
Orford Bitumen has a range of excavators: from 1.7 ton for small jobs and tight areas to 6 and 12 ton for larger jobs with various attachments for compaction, breaking up material, drilling holes, digging trenches and flail mowing.
Orford Bitumen has three types of bobcats and a 12 ton loader together with profiling units, power broom attachments, spreader bars, fork tines and slashers.
Our grader is 19 ton with a 3.6 metre blade.
Orford Bitumen has two road profiler attachments (450mm wide, cutting up to 200mm deep) that cut through existing asphalt and bitumen for reinstatement or repairs.

Crack sealing is a practical and cost-effective way of maintaining asphalt, bituminous and concrete surfaces and works by spraying the molten rubber into cracks which prevents water from penetrating the surface causing further damage.
We also sell a crack sealing product in strip form per metre for DIY application.
