Private access road surfacing.
Define the pavement and access arrangements for roads serving commercial properties.
Define the work that is needed.
For commercial estate owners, property operators, main contractors and groundworkers planning works on privately owned commercial and estate access routes.
Existing road renewal
Assess worn surfaces, local failures and transitions to retained pavement before choosing repairs or resurfacing.
New private routes
Set out preparation and asphalt boundaries against the designer’s formation, drainage and pavement requirements.
Roadside interfaces
Identify passing areas, entrances, edge restraints, service covers and connections to adjoining property.
What determines the specification?
Heavy-vehicle loading, turning, gradients, ground conditions and water movement affect the complete pavement design. The suitability of an existing base must be assessed; no standard layer depth is assumed for every access road.
Request a Site AssessmentWhat we need to assess the scope.
- Route plan, ownership/work boundaries, permission to instruct works and approximate length and width.
- Expected traffic, pavement records and photographs of existing condition.
- Properties served, alternative routes and any restrictions on deliveries or closures.
What needs to be resolved.
- Resolve continuous or phased access for tenants and property users.
- Check gradients, runoff, outfalls and transitions at entrances.
- Confirm design responsibilities and permissions affecting road connections.
Pavement specification depends on loading, ground conditions, drainage and the complete pavement design. Scope, access arrangements and programme need to be agreed for the individual project.
