Company Profile

Northern Tyre Recycling is based in Evanton, Scotland. Our company is a leader in the use of compressed tyre bales in construction projects.

The tyre bales (named URRO blocks) can be used in a wide variety of applications such as:-

•     Road sub bases
•     Retaining Walls                                
•     Gabions and Waterway Control
•     Flood Control
•     Mud Slide and Erosion Control
•     Soil Elevation
•     Shock Absorption for Foundation Walls, Firing Ranges and Bunkers
•     Sound Barrier along Motorways and Railways
•     Impact Barrier for Motorways and Racetracks

The main advantages of using Northern Tyre’s URRO blocks in place of conventional materials (such as aggregates and concrete) are:-

•     Lighter weight and lower earth pressure
•     Greatly improved drainage
•     Excellent thermal insulation
•     Pre compressed material
•     Uniform size of block allows for easy building and placement
•     Use of a recycled material
•     Lower overall construction cost

URRO Blocks has been used successfully in several major projects involving road construction, land erosion and wall construction and further projects await approval including roads for wind farms, riverbanks, ponds and dam construction. Our clients include local councils and Forest Enterprise amongst others.
