USE OF PRECAST CONCRETE SLABS

Highly frequented traffic areas are characterised by very short time windows for construction and repair work. When using in-situ concrete, there are risks of weathering and material properties with regard to setting, which can lead to delays. These risks can be minimised by using precast slabs.

BECAUSE IT NEEDS
TO BE FINISHED.

APPLICATION

Replacement of damaged slabs or parts of slabs as well as lane wise replacement in any kind of concrete traffic areas (motorways, aircraft movement areas, industrial areas etc.)

Particularly suitable for highly frequented areas such as motorways, airport road surfaces and bus stops

Repair of cross joints with round precast slabs

TECHNOLOGY

Powerful large-scale equipment to produce separating cuts

Excavator for lifting out damaged slab parts and placing the concrete

Undersealing and, if necessary, mobile crane (external)

Screeds and paver finishers for surface treatment

HESTER
innovative repair
The “Hybrides Ertüchtigungssystem für die Straßenerhaltung unter
Einsatz neuer Werkstoffe” (Hybrid upgrading system for road maintenance using new materials” – HESTER for short – was
developed in a network of strong partners and is a precast-based surface and repair system
that offers an innovative
and pioneering method to repair urban traffic areas, such as bus stops,
junctions and roundabouts. More information at www.hester-system.de

COMPELLING REASONS FOR
OUR SERVICES.

ADVANTAGES

Application in new construction and for repairs (e.g. fire damage)

High quality through production under protected conditions

Built-in equipment (e.g. airport lights, empty pipes, shafts) can be pre-installed at the factory, which means a reduced workload on site

Surface adaptable to existing construction

Various versions of height adjustment depending on the support option

Precast slabs can be laid in any weather

Guaranteed time to reopen the area to traffic by excluding the risk of setting time risk

Short closure times
