The client contacted JLR Contracts as they required new access and service yard roadways to a newly evolving industrial estate. The roadways were to have an anti-slip brushed finish, which should be able to carry all types of heavy traffic.
Please see below for more details of the project….
The expanding industrial estate in Durham, which consisted of both new and existing commercial and industrial units, required
new roadways to be built to be able to service all the units on the estate. There were several hundred square metres of brushed finish roadways required. The concrete used was a minimum C35 PAV2 which is an external heavy duty concrete suitable for heavy use and adverse weather conditions.
The concrete was poured and then consolidated to bring the excess water to the surface, and at the same time reducing the micro-air content on the surface which improves the durability. The surface of the concrete was then allowed to cure for several hours, so the brush finish could then be applied. The edges of all the roadways were then given a hand trowelled finish which makes the road edge a much more compact and harder wearing surface, as well as looking aesthetically more pleasing.
The brushed finish makes the surface anti-slip for both vehicle and foot traffic in all types of weather conditions. The resulting, brush finish anti-slip concrete roadways, will give years of service to the industrial estate and units. Contact us for any help with Concrete Flooring in the North East.
