MJL Groundworks & Civils Ltd recently welcomed Robert Sines from Meon to deliver specialist ironwork repair training on our site at Barnard Castle.
The training focused on the Magma Ironwork System and Permafyx cold-applied technology, giving our site operatives both the theory and practical knowledge needed to carry out efficient ironwork repairs on live projects.

















The day was split into three key parts. The morning began with a theory session, followed by practical demonstrations in the site compound. This included bedding ironwork, using flowable backfill concrete and installing Permafyx Asphalt Repair.
The training was then put into practice on site, with a live adjustment carried out on a cover and frame that required attention.
One of the main benefits of the system is that it can be applied cold, with no hot works, no compaction equipment and a traffic-ready finish in under an hour. This allows repairs to be completed quickly while helping to reduce time, risk and disruption on site.
Our teams often carry out small ironwork repairs using tarmac collected in a hotbox. Following the Approved Installer Programme, MJL can now deliver ironwork repairs more efficiently, helping clients reduce traffic management time and complete works within a shorter programme.
The HAPAS-approved Permafyx system will allow us to support clients with a range of repair works, including:
- Manhole chamber repairs
- Gully repairs
- Utility ironwork repairs
- Cover and frame adjustments
- Fast cold-applied asphalt repairs
This training gives MJL another practical solution to use across existing and upcoming projects, helping us deliver safe, efficient and reliable repairs for clients.
A big thank you to Meon and everyone involved in supporting the training. MJL Groundworks & Civils looks forward to implementing this solution across our projects.
