Services - City Pavements
Asphalt
Technically known as Asphaltic Concrete, but commonly called Hotmix, Tarseal, or Tarmac.
This is the smooth finished dense surfacing material commonly seen in carparks and on main roads. It is a blend of graded aggregates and bitumen, manufactured, laid and compacted hot (165° C).
City Pavements has developed particular skills and expertise with asphalt. Laying large areas by hand in a smooth seamless manner with the quality generally only acheived by larger paving machines used in major roading works, while maintaining the attention to detail required for small corners, features and services.
Chipseal
This coarse surfacing medium is generally associated with secondary or residential streets and usually has an amount of loose chip on the surface. This is achieved by spraying hot Bitumen binder and applying a graded chip, usually grey - but red McCullums chip is also available.
This application is most suited to driveways, footpaths and as a first coat in carpark situations.
Milling
This process grinds the existing pavement surfacing to remove a nominal layer or to the full depth of a damaged seal so a surfacing repair can be carried out, and new Asphalt re-instated.
Generally carried out as pavement maintenance to repair pot-holes or cracked seal in driveways or carparks.
Pavements
Footpaths
Driveways - both residential and commercial solutions. These are often detailed and require edging and detail to complement landscaping and architecture.
Carparks
Large or small, new works, extensions or resurfacing of existing carparks including pavement markings.
Roading
Cul-de-sacs, Repairs and Maintenance, Serice Authority reinstatement. Our people are trained and conversant with Traffic Management requirements and Local Authority Quality Standards for reinstatement.
Tennis Courts
This is a specialist surfacing area where a high standard of finish is required. Often with difficult access due to location, falls and gradients that are minimal, and low pavement strengths constraining the size and type of appropriate plant, all these factors combine to make our hand-laid methodology and skills the most suitable for both new and resurfacing work.
Schools
Carparks, Paths, Sports Surfaces and Pavement Repairs. We undertake work at many of Auckland's schools, either directly or as sub-contractors to one of our regular clients. Typically this work is programmed for weekends or school holidays to minimise disruption to classes.
