Hot-mix asphalt in Mahahual only lasts when the mix arrives hot, the base is sound and the thickness is what the contract says. About four hours from our yard; hot mix travels a long way from the south, so concrete, pavers and stabilised bases are often more practical and more durable in salt and sand.
Private driveways, condo streets and club access roads, with neat edges and level transitions.
Mix temperature on arrival, core samples for thickness and density, and a written report.
Milling where levels require it, tack coat and a new wearing course over sound old asphalt.
Cruise ship days fill the streets near the port, so works there are scheduled on non-cruise days; the hurricane season is the main risk for open works. Laying is scheduled with the plant and around these windows, so the mix is compacted at the right temperature.
The town is on sand and coastal limestone between sea and mangrove; bases need geotextiles or thicker granular layers, and salt and storms attack pavement edges. We check and correct the base for these conditions before any asphalt is laid.
A high water table and mangroves behind the town limit infiltration, so streets rely on grades and swales; storm surge can flood the whole strip during hurricanes.
Mahahual needs streets and car parks for the cruise port area and the village, access roads to beach hotels and villas along the Costa Maya, and repair of roads damaged by storms.
