It used to be common practice to overlay concrete estate roads with Microasphalt and other bituminous surfacing products.

Years later, this solution has left authorities with two problems:

1) Firstly, the aesthetics of the now, patchy finish with open joints and the regular occurrence of worn-off areas of blacktop exposing concrete patches.

2) Secondly, the high cost of the ongoing maintenance liability in keeping the highway free of potholes, trip hazards and maintaining a safe running surface in a residential environment.

The solution used in the seaside town of Bexhill in East Sussex exposes the original concrete carriageway by planing off the layers of surfacing and, using a combination of specialist products, repairing the damaged surface.

• Fine milling the surface
• Concrete Joint repairs
• Concrete Crack repairs
• Patch repairs
• Ironwork adjustment
• Ironwork repairs
• Kerb edge sealing

Bexhill Case Study - Concrete Carriageway Rehabilitation

Many of our ageing concrete estate roads are structurally sound but having been covered several times with anything from micro asphalt to surface dressing and sometimes both, they are a dilemma that face most Highway Engineers. 

• Ride quality improved
• Reduced maintenance
• Channels sealed, no more weeds
• Concrete coloured repairs
• Ironwork adjusted 

Having been surfaced over and over again, the temptation is to continue with the repetitive cycle of more surfacing and crack repairs.

The Rhino solution is a kerb to kerb solution that removes the old surfacing, texturing the concrete and addressing problems like channel gaps, cracks and spalling joints, all with a new concrete coloured , flexible repair.

The repair compound is a non-bituminous material that remains flexible accommodating the movement of the concrete bays and prevents the ingress of water. The concrete coloured material provides a neat, aesthetically pleasing finish and improves ride quality where spalled and damaged joints may have contributed to the initial reason for surfacing.

Bringing concrete back to its original state is a low carbon, low maintenance alternative to the cycle of repeated thin surfacing for cosmetic appearance
