With over 40 years of experience LMS Highways are vastly experienced in delivering a multitude of concrete highways repairs.
Damaged bays are pre-cut and removed using our bespoke lifting equipment which allow us to remove bays in large continuous pieces. Dowel bars are drilled using an EZ drill, AKA a slab riding rig and the bays are reinstated using a concrete mix most appropriate to our clients timeframe and budget.
These repairs can be delivered within a multitude of locations such as, carriageways, depot yards, runways and taxiways.
Rapid Concrete Bay Repairs & Replacements
This repair type is highly desirable for our clients with time constraints as the entire process can be carried out and ready for opening within an impressive two-hour period.
- Delivering up to 6 full bays per night – that’s 3x faster than the industry standard of just 2 bays per shift.
- Bays are cured and ready to be trafficked within as little as 2-4 hours, keeping roads moving and downtime to a minimum.
- No need for conventional heating reducing carbon emissions and keeping resources to a minimum.
- Project programmes cut by up to 75%, meaning less disruption and considerable cost savings.
- Long expected service life.
Standard Concrete Bay Repairs & Replacements
Offering repair solutions to suit every clients budget we offer standard concrete bay replacements delivered using conventional concrete mixes.
JRCP – Jointed Reinforced Concrete Pavement, constructed with intentionally spaced contraction joints and distributed steel reinforcement, designed to control crack locations and maintain structural integrity.
URCP – Unreinforced Jointed Concrete Pavement, constructed without the steel reinforcing bars, relying on closely spaced contraction joints to manage cracking caused by shrinkage, moisture, and thermal changes.
- Delivering up to 8 full bays per night – that’s 4x faster than the industry standard of just 2 bays per shift.
- Using a high early strength concrete mix, bays are fully cured and ready to be trafficked within 24-hours.
- Long expected service life.
CRCP – Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement
CRCP is constructed with steel reinforcing bars placed within the concrete, continuously along the entire length of the pavement without any transverse joints. The result is a continuous, smooth-riding surface capable of withstanding the heaviest traffic loads and the most adverse weather conditions.
Because of its greater durability, longer life expectancy, and minimal maintenance requirements, CRCP provides the best long-term value of any pavement type and is often the first choice among highway agencies on heavy urban traffic corridors.
- Installing up to 100 cubic metres per shift – compared to the industry standard of 10 cubic metres per shift.
- Extremely heavy duty.
- Suitable for highly trafficked areas.
- Expected service life of between 30 to 50 years.
Flange Beam Repairs & Replacements
A flange beam is a structural steel beam with projecting flanges that enhance its strength and efficiency. These beams serve as transitional joints between CRCP and traditional concrete bays.
- Cost efficient
- We can replace the entire steel beam or perform a partial, single lane repair.
- The entire replacement can be completed safely and efficiently within just one 10-hour shift.
- Long expected service life.
