Where trucks turn, water sits or the look matters in Chetumal, concrete and pavers outlast asphalt and can let rain soak into the ground. The city floods in heavy storms in low areas near the bay; storm design combines pipes, open channels and infiltration where the soil allows it.
Expansion and control joints, sealed and laid out by design, plus kerbs and edge restraints.
Stamped, brushed, exposed-aggregate and coloured finishes for driveways, plazas and pool decks.
Pervious concrete and permeable pavers that meet absorption requirements and reduce flooding.
The municipality of Othón P. Blanco and state agencies handle licences and public works; connections to federal highways need SCT approval, and many street projects follow municipal standards for kerbs and sidewalks. Permeable pavers, pervious concrete or grass pavers are chosen where these rules and the site make them the right answer.
Chetumal sits on limestone with clay and low-lying areas near the bay, where the water table is high and bases must be thicker and better drained. Base thickness, joints and edge restraints are designed for this ground so slabs and pavers stay level.
Chetumal has its own suppliers of hot mix, concrete and aggregates, so prices are among the lowest in the state, though our crews travel about four hours from Playa del Carmen.
Normal city traffic allows daytime work with traffic control; the rainy and hurricane season from June to November is the main constraint for earthworks.
