Frequently Asked Questions
Superior physical properties of pavers provide longer pavement life, reduced maintenance costs and extend the replacement cycle while conserving the use of raw materials. Paving can be lifted if there are any unseen problems or extra services in the future.
Paving comes in a range of different colours and textures and also allows for different borders.
The superior time saving on installation, product is manufactured of site by company’s who manufacture 24 hours per day, no on site batching, minimal amount of waste.
Pavers will not crack in the future. Elimination of surface failure issues. Concrete pavers are factory made thereby eliminating raveling that can occur on site-formed pavements. Pavers are tested to Australian Standards prior to being dispatched from the manufacturer.
ACP Machine laid pavers are easy to lift, relay or replace and you can use straight away once compacted, not curing or waiting time.
Yes. In the example of a mining project, once the mine life expires and reclamation process takes place, it is easier to lift paving, recycle and reuse. Alternatively if concrete had been used it would require breaking up and have the reinforced steel to dispose of at substantial time and cost.
The average time of installation is at least 35% quicker than using concrete. That reduces labour costs, which in term reduce project costs.
There is much less waste than concrete, so if a project gets held up there’s no concrete to mix and waste. You can utilise any chipped, broken or off cut pavers for smaller cuts.
This type of pavement will absorb stress such as small earthquakes, freezes and thaws, and slight ground erosion by flexing. Therefore, they do not easily crack, break or buckle like poured asphalt or poured concrete. Paving is a flexible pavement solution and if anything should arise any rectification would be minimal, with little cost and minimal down time.
If your hardstand project demands a system that will lower maintenance requirements and use less energy over its life, ACP Hardstand Solutions machine-laid pavers are the answer.
Concrete pavers improve the quality of life for an environment and its users. Concrete pavers provide sustainable ecological solutions proven to last.
