Road and yard surfaces fail where water gets into the sub-base or where loading exceeds the original build-up. We cut out failed areas, dig down to sound material, rebuild the layers to the correct thickness and reinstate the surface — including trench reinstatement after drainage and utility works on estate roads, entrances, yards and car parks.
Most road and yard failures start below the surface: water gets into the sub-base, the layers lose strength and the surface then cracks, rutts or potholes. A permanent repair means cutting out the failed area to sound material, rebuilding the sub-base and binder layers to the correct thickness and reinstating the surface. Rayco Civils carries out road, yard and car park repairs across Ireland.
Because filling a pothole only replaces the surface. If the sub-base underneath is saturated or has lost strength, the repair fails again under traffic. A lasting repair squares up the area, digs out the weak material and rebuilds the layers before resurfacing.
After a drainage or utility trench is backfilled across a road or yard, the surface has to be rebuilt in compacted layers with the correct sub-base and surfacing thickness. Poor reinstatement is one of the most common causes of a sunken strip across a road.
Yes. Private estate roads, farm roadways, yards, entrances and car parks are a large part of this work, and are repaired using the same cut-out, rebuild and reinstate sequence.
By dealing with the water. Repairs are usually combined with correcting surface falls, clearing or resetting gullies and adding drainage where run-off is sitting on the surface, because the load is rarely the only problem.
