Travis Perkins Peterborough Surface Replacement
Project Overview
This project involved surface improvement works at a Travis Perkins site in Peterborough, where existing concrete areas had deteriorated due to constant heavy vehicle use. The objective was to remove the worn surface and replace it with a more durable and flexible asphalt solution capable of handling ongoing commercial traffic.
The works were carefully planned to ensure minimal disruption while delivering a strong, long-lasting finish suitable for an active trade environment.
Scope of Work
The project began with planing out sections of the existing concrete surface to remove damaged and uneven areas. This preparation stage ensured a clean and stable base for the new material to bond effectively.
Once prepared, the team relaid the surface using 10mm Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA), chosen for its strength, durability, and resistance to wear. The asphalt was evenly laid and compacted to create a smooth, consistent finish across all treated areas.
Edges were carefully finished to ensure a neat transition between old and new surfaces, while maintaining structural integrity and preventing future deterioration.
Challenges & Solutions
Working within a busy Travis Perkins yard required careful coordination to maintain access for vehicles and operations throughout the project. The team carried out the works efficiently in controlled sections, reducing downtime and ensuring safety on site.
The transition from concrete to asphalt required precise preparation and application to achieve a uniform finish. By following a structured approach, the team ensured proper adhesion and long-term performance of the new surface.
Final Result
The completed works delivered a smooth, durable asphalt surface that significantly improves both functionality and appearance. The 10mm SMA finish provides enhanced resistance to heavy traffic and environmental wear, making it ideal for a high-use commercial setting.
This project highlights East Herts Surfacing Ltd’s ability to carry out efficient and high-quality resurfacing works in active environments, delivering reliable results with minimal disruption.
