CONCRETE BLOCK PAVING (CBP)

CBP is more resistant to wear from applied loads than premix asphalt (ACWC). For this reason CBP is usually the preferred material where the following conditions apply:
  • Heavy (industrial) loadings are applied to the surface
  • Stop/Start traffic (traffic light junction)
  • Turning and slewing wheels
  • Petro-chemicals or other contaminants in contacts with the pavement surface
  • Cushion or solid tyred wheels.

Cost comparison between CBP and Premix Asphalt will be given for next post based on JKR experiance especially for the traffic light junctions.
