Both companies have established a professional and trusted relationship in this time. This would include regular technical discussions and support on material design and selection. Stanley Macadam has established an excellent reputation in the industry for very high levels of workmanship on their projects and they place a high emphasis on product quality and service. The achievement of this can be attributed to their fully competent and trained staff, modern fleet of plant and the use of high quality products. Roadstone Wood Ltd has invested considerable resources over the years in the areas of blacktop mix design, technical support and quality control. We provide Stanley Macadam with these additional supports and services, as required. Our CE marked bituminous products are manufactured, in accordance with national and European product standards, in NSAI certified manufacturing plants. Type test reports are supplied to Stanley Macadam for all supplied materials. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any additional information. Yours Sincerely __________________ Alan Lowe Asphalt Technical Manager Roadstone Wood Ltd. To Whom It Concerns: For over 10 years, Stanley Macadam Company has worked alongside South Dublin County Council. During this period we have found Stanley Macadam to be very efficient in dealing with the numerous contracts from technical backup to advice on material design and selection. As we place a high emphasis on product quality and service, we would have no hesitation in awarding contracts to values in excess of €500,000 as they have always completed contracts within time and on budget. Stanley Macadam have had total responsibilities in programming activities from small civil works ie installation of kerbs, footpaths, public lighting, foul and surface water networks, gullies, manholes etc, to full road construction including realignments, to blacktop overlays. We have found their versatile plant and highly skilled labour force to be very professional, which has resulted in very high levels of workmanship on their projects. I also found them to be very effective at night works; planing and overlaying busy junctions, traffic management and pedestrian control. Stanley Macadam Company has acted as PSCS on numerous projects and we have always found them to aware and conscious of their obligations regarding Safety, Health and Welfare at work. I would have no hesitation in appointing SMC to contracts encompassing all or any of the above operations and look forward to working with them again in the future .

We have found them to be a reliable company who always use quality material in their work. The value of the contracts they are awarded are generally in the €50,000 - €150,000 range. Stanley Macadam Company mainly carries out road resurfacing contracts for the Palmerston Depot. In carrying out these contracts they have always proved to be a competent contractor when appointed as PSCS. They are Health & Safety conscious and have always shown expertise in adequately setting up and maintaining traffic management for the duration of the project. They have also proved that they are a competent organisation with regards to all aspects of project management e.g. staff management, use of appropriate plant and machinery, consultation with stakeholders and delivery of project on schedule. Over the years, Stanley Macadam Company has frequently recommended the use of alternative bituminous materials compared to what was in the contract specification. This demonstrates they have a deep technical understanding of the materials they use, as well as the conditions the materials are to be exposed to while in use. Because of their commitment to the use of quality materials and the professional manner in which they carry out their business, I have no hesitation in recommending Stanley Macadam Company for any future resurfacing contracts.
