Truck yards that don't crack: three-day cure, local repairs, no shutdown
Illustrative render: cement-treated gravel truck yard at a cement plant, with painted bays
What we supply
- S1 cement-treated gravel for yards, marshalling areas and plant roads: vehicles up to 49 t gross, with axle loads taken from your axle survey or VDF; no saw-cut joints, no steel; trucks at 7 days once the cubes reach 2 MPa; repairs cell by cell; built bay by bay in shutdown windows.
- S4 honeycomb-finish concrete on request, where your standard insists on concrete: the visible-hexagon road on 17 sites since 2019, built by contractor teams we train, filled flush to the cell tops; never the grid under a slab.
- One method statement, hold points signed.
Why it is used
- Concrete cracks at the joints; asphalt ruts under standing trucks. An S1 yard has no saw-cut joints, and cell confinement reduces rutting.
- Repairs cell by cell: lift, refill, compact; no slab replacement, no shutdown.
- Dust-free grey finish that reads as concrete and takes bay markings.
- Lower cost on day one: recorded GridMats surfaces run ₹125–230 per sq ft (₹1,350–2,474 per m²) against ₹269–297 per sq ft (₹2,900–3,200 per m²) for an IRC:58 concrete road.
