Welcome to a behind-the-scenes look at Dowhigh Ltd in action – from Hutton, Lancashire, where our expert highways team carried out a meticulously coordinated RAB (Roundabout) Echelon Paving operation during July 2025. This project was proudly undertaken on behalf of Lancashire County Council, further strengthening our ongoing partnership in delivering safe, durable, and sustainable road infrastructure across the region.
📍 Project Overview:
In this video, we showcase the complete echelon paving process carried out on a key roundabout site in Hutton. The goal? To enhance surface durability, improve traffic flow, and increase safety for both motorists and pedestrians. Echelon paving is a high-precision technique that ensures seamless, longitudinal joints by having multiple pavers operate in close formation – providing a stronger, smoother finish and extending the life of the asphalt surface.
✔️ Location: Hutton, Lancashire

🌍 Why Echelon Paving Matters:
Echelon paving eliminates cold joints – the weak points in conventional paving jobs – by allowing hot asphalt layers to bond perfectly. This process:
✅ Increases the structural integrity of the road
✅ Reduces water infiltration and joint failure
✅ Delivers a smooth, consistent finish
✅ Extends the service life of the surface – saving taxpayer money in the long run
At Dowhigh, we’re proud to be at the forefront of modern highways technology, implementing best practices for safer, longer-lasting roads across the North West and beyond.
