Concrete hardstanding at the East Lancashire Railway depot, Bury

volumetric mixed on site to a hardstanding-grade mix and placed to take the load.

The ground beneath Bury
Bury’s bedrock is Pennine Coal Measures with Millstone Grit on the upland fringe to the north, heavily faulted, under glacial till with Irwell and Roch-valley alluvium and glaciofluvial sand and gravel along the river corridors. Coal was worked in the borough and parts lie within the Development High Risk Area.
Part of our Lancashire Coalfield ground guide — see how Bury fits into the wider Greater Manchester Ground Conditions & Foundations Atlas.

Flood risk in Bury
Bury sits where the Irwell and the Roch meet, and Bury Ground (Lower Woodhill Road, Wellington Street) flooded badly on Boxing Day 2015, with people evacuated by boat. The riverside ground is the exposed part.
If your plot is on the low-lying ground, a Flood Risk Assessment may set a raised floor level and flood-resilient construction — a solid, low-permeability slab over continuous tanking. We pour the specified concrete to suit; the FRA and floor levels come from your designer and building control, not from us.
See flood risk & concrete for what’s required. Check the specific address on the EA flood map for planning — only the low-lying/valley-floor part of the area is affected, not the whole town. General guidance only.
Why Barrow Mix?
We run our own quarry, wagons and pumps — a genuinely self-sufficient supplier, so we’re not waiting on anyone else to get your concrete to site. See why that matters →
