Investing in Equipment = Investment in Better Outcomes For All
At MAC Surfacing, investment in equipment is never about appearances.
It is a clear, long-term commitment to delivering better, safer and more reliable outcomes for everyone involved.
Rather than resting on past success, MAC Surfacing consistently reinvests into its operations, ensuring it remains capable, dependable and aligned with the highest standards expected across the highways and infrastructure sector.
A Signal of Commitment
Investment at MAC Surfacing reflects a business that does not rely on reputation alone, but continually backs its values with tangible action. Each upgrade is considered to ensure it improves performance on site, enhances safety, and delivers consistent quality for clients.
This approach reinforces a culture of continuous improvement, focusing not on what worked yesterday, but on how the business can be better tomorrow.
Recent Investment
A recent round of investment has further strengthened MAC’s operational capability.
The company has bolstered its planer fleet with the addition of a Wirtgen W210XF and a Wirtgen W100Fi. These machines enhance the ability to deliver high production outputs while maintaining precision milling, supporting consistent results across a wide range of schemes.
Surfacing capability has also been enhanced through the arrival of three new Vögele S1803-5X pavers. These high spec machines support improved mat quality, increased efficiency and greater reliability, ensuring consistent finishes on both large scale and technically demanding projects.
Transport continues to be strengthened with two Volvo FH13 8×4 tippers scheduled to arrive in March 2026 and alongside major plant additions, MAC will be placing significant orders for approximately fifteen new surfacing crew vans and additional rollers.
These ongoing upgrades support growing operational demand and uphold the highest standards on site.
The Benefits: Team MAC
For MAC Surfacing operatives, modern equipment directly improves the working environment. Newer plant offers better ergonomics, improved visibility, and enhanced control systems, reducing fatigue and supporting safer, more precise working.
Reliable machinery also minimises disruption caused by breakdowns, allowing teams to focus on quality and productivity rather than reactive maintenance.
Providing high quality equipment demonstrates trust in the workforce and shows that MAC is committed to supporting its teams with the best tools available.
The Benefits: Clients and Authorities
For contractors and authorities, MAC’s investment translates into confidence and reliability. Modern equipment improves efficiency and accuracy, helping projects stay on programme and reducing the likelihood of delays.
High specification machinery supports better quality outcomes, contributing to longer lasting assets and reduced whole life costs. Clients benefit from smoother delivery, improved consistency and a contractor that is invested in long term performance and relationships.
The Benefits: The Road User
The impact of investment extends beyond those involved in the scheme work. For road users, modern equipment supports safer sites, shorter programme durations and reduced disruption.
Improved surfacing quality delivers better quality, more durable roads, which reduces the need for repeat maintenance.
Investment into equipment is one of the clearest ways MAC Surfacing demonstrates its values in practice. It shows a business willing to put money where its mouth is when it talks about continuous improvement.
MD Jake Wherton commented:
“Each new addition to the fleet reinforces our commitment to being better year on year, supporting our operatives, and delivering value for clients”.
“For MAC, investment is not a one off or a series of ad-hoc decisions. It is a planned, ongoing commitment to raising standards that is embedded across everything the business does.”
