"We will be using our range of Urban Streetscape grout products, known as Emtek Ultrascape, including Emtek EPR-9 in Salmor covers, Emtek Pro-Bed HS (bedding mortar), Emtek Pro-Prime (primer), Emtek Flowpoint (flowable grout) and Emtek M60 bedding mortar for normal manhole frames.

"There are many benefits to using a local company for this type of work. Our accessibility means that we are available to provide technical support and on-site training as required as well as holding buffer stock in our new, purpose-built premises in Lurgan," he added.

Since winning this contract, Emtek Ltd has also been awarded similar streetscape projects, using the same products in Kilkenny, Warrenpoint and at Queens University, Belfast.
