Trench Reinstatement in Coventry
Overview
Our team successfully completed a trench reinstatement project in Coventry, delivering a durable, highway-compliant finish designed to withstand daily traffic. The works involved reinstating the excavated trench using a robust layered construction and high-quality materials to ensure long-term performance and a seamless finish.
The reinstatement was completed with 60mm of 20mm binder course, followed by 40mm of 10mm Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) surface course. To achieve a watertight, long-lasting joint between the new and existing surfacing, the trench was finished using HAPAS-approved jointing strips, providing enhanced durability and helping to prevent water ingress.
Scope of Works
- Trench reinstatement in Coventry
- Installation of 60mm 20mm binder course
- Application of 40mm 10mm SMA surface course
- Installation of HAPAS-approved jointing strips
- Accurate levelling and compaction for a smooth finish
- Clean, safe working area maintained throughout the project
Challenges & Solution
Maintaining a consistent surface level along a long, curved trench required careful planning and precise workmanship. Our experienced surfacing team ensured each asphalt layer was accurately laid and compacted to specification before installing the SMA surface course.
The use of HAPAS-approved jointing strips created a secure, flexible seal between the existing pavement and the new surfacing, reducing the risk of water penetration and extending the lifespan of the reinstatement.
Final Result
The completed trench reinstatement provides a smooth, durable, and professionally finished surface that integrates seamlessly with the surrounding carriageway. Constructed using industry-approved materials and methods, the new surfacing offers excellent strength, ride quality, and long-term reliability while meeting the high standards expected for highway reinstatement works.
