Description

In advance of opening a new branch in Croydon, the groundwork and concrete yard contract was let to Hobart Paving. On a very tight programme we broke out and disposed of the existing concrete hardstand and installed the new storm and foul drainage systems. 18t excavators fitted with hydraulic breakers broke up and removed the old concrete yard, working in phases to maintain access for the refurbishment of the existing warehouse. The drainage below the warehouse floor was also up graded, diamond saw cutting and removing the slab inside the building so that the pipes could be replaced. Externally, new drainage channels were laid directing storm water into attenuation tanks before outfalling of site.

New pavement quality concrete was laid in bays forming the new yard and outside storage areas. Concrete was pumped in and hand finished with vibrating tamps and wire brush to form an anti-slip surface.
