3 Steps To Avoid That Sinking Feeling

We all know the frustration, cost and hassle of driving over sunken carriageway ironwork. Check out our simple guide to solving this common problem.

1. High Performance Bedding Mortar

2. Rapid Strength Backfill Concrete

The application of a high flow, rapid strength concrete creates a secure backfill to support and lock in the frame and cover.  Selecting Emtek QC10F will provide a bulletproof backfill to enable the wearing course to be applied next.

3. Bitumen Edge Sealer

Sealing the vertical edges of all the joints is crucial in preventing water ingress prior to wearing course application and stops the freeze-thaw process over the year. Selecting Emtek SCJ in a super handy, spray-applied tin makes the process fast and easy.
