What is car parks & hard standings?

A car park or hard standing is built from a proof-rolled formation, a compacted sub-base sized for the traffic it will carry, kerbed edges and islands, and surface-water gullies set so falls collect and discharge water correctly. It is then finished in concrete or prepared for binder and wearing course. Rayco Civils builds car parks and yards across Ireland.

Car Parks & Hard Standings — Frequently Asked Questions

How thick should a car park sub-base be?

Thickness depends on the subgrade strength and the traffic — a car-only car park needs far less build-up than an HGV yard. The design comes from the engineer and we build to that specification.

Concrete or tarmac for a yard?

Concrete suits heavy point loads, turning HGVs, forklifts and washdown areas and lasts well under abuse. Tarmac is usually quicker and cheaper for car parking. The right choice depends on the traffic and the budget.

How is surface water dealt with?

Falls are set so water runs to gullies rather than ponding or discharging onto neighbouring ground, and the gullies connect into the storm-water or attenuation system.

Do you mark out parking bays?

Line marking is arranged with a specialist marking contractor once the surfacing is complete.
