NMS Planing

NMS is one of the country’s premier road planing contractors

Combining over 40 years experience in the industry with a large modern fleet, we have the flexibility and resources to service any contract.

We are continually investing in our planing fleet to ensure we remain at the forefront of planing technology; our reputation for safety and service is second to none. Our planing fleet covers the whole spectrum of planing machines, ranging from the W350 capable of for small works and in footpaths and around ironwork, through to the W220 that can cut a full carriageway lane to a depth of 360mm in a single pass.

TRUSTED BY LOCAL AUTHORITIES

In addition to road planing machines, we also operate support equipment, both internally and externally.

Our fleet includes tipper wagons, low loaders, sweepers, fuel bowsers and hydraulic breaking equipment and are able to offer a full support team capable of dealing fully with any planing project, whatever the size.

The entire fleet is supported and maintained ‘in-house’. We operate workshop facilities at our base employing experienced, well-trained specialist fitters. In addition, we provide a full 24/7 response in the unlikely event of a machinery breakdown on site.

As you are aware environmental and resource efficiency demands are becoming increasingly prominent within the 21st Century construction industry. NMS retains a large proportion of the planing arisings and recycle them to produce a RAP material for re-introduction into new asphalt products. NMS is a key regional player in circular construction and manages well in excess of 100,000 tonnes of recycled planings (“RAP”) each year.
