Completing the job, we also provide a complete kerb and guttering service. A kerb and gutter will not only make your new asphalting project look neat and tidy; they play an important part in helping your asphalt last longer and meeting the specifications and requirements of the local council.
There are two main reasons for a concrete kerb and gutter:
How long before you can drive on a new asphalt carpark?
From an asphalting perspective, freshly laid asphalt takes around 24 hours to cure. However, there are other factors that need to be taken into consideration before a carpark can be used. These can include line markings, signage, meters, sign off by local government inspectors to name a few.
How long do asphalt carparks last?
Like roadways, and driveways, asphalt carparks can last between 25-30 years, providing that maintenance is routinely undertaken and any areas requiring attention are tended to.
How long does an asphalt carpark take to dry?
Freshly laid asphalt takes 24 hours to fully cure; asphalt that has been resurfaced or repaired takes around 2 -3 hours before it can be driven on.
Can asphalt be laid over an existing concrete carpark?
Technically yes, asphalt can be placed directly over concrete. However it is not recommended. We recommend you first remove the existing concrete before laying the asphalt because pouring asphalt on a concrete surface decreases the durability of your carpark surface.
A sub base concrete driveway is different from a sub base asphalt driveway which poses a serious threat to your pavement’s flexibility, stability, and strength. Asphalt needs a reliable base to withstand heavy loads or years of shifting; or else, you will end up with a cracked and deteriorated surface. Asphalt is cheaper and simpler to substitute, but it’s not as durable as concrete. To prevent cracks under normal weight loads, it needs a firm, stable, and flat base.
What maintenance does an asphalt carpark require?
The maintenance required on your asphalt carpark will be dependent on the type of asphalt used in the initial installation. It is recommended to have your asphalt inspected yearly where cracks can be filled when they first appear and good practice to apply a seal coat to the asphalt every 2 -3 years.
