Where trucks turn, water sits or the look matters in Puerto Morelos, concrete and pavers outlast asphalt and can let rain soak into the ground. The coastal strip has a high water table and mangroves, so infiltration is limited and grades must be designed carefully; inland, infiltration wells work well but must keep distance from cenotes.
Concrete roads, yards and loading areas with doweled joints, curing compound and saw-cut control joints.
Concrete and stone pavers on a compacted base and bedding sand, easy to lift and relay for services.
Pedestrian paths, golf-cart routes and promenades with root barriers, lighting and drainage.
The municipality of Puerto Morelos licenses the works, and mangrove and reef protections restrict anything on the coastal side of the highway; jungle along the Ruta de los Cenotes often needs a land-use change authorisation before clearing. Permeable pavers, pervious concrete or grass pavers are chosen where these rules and the site make them the right answer.
Inland the ground is firm limestone with numerous cenotes along the Ruta de los Cenotes, which calls for probing on road alignments; on the coast it is sand and wetland soil that needs thicker, well-drained bases. Base thickness, joints and edge restraints are designed for this ground so slabs and pavers stay level.
Halfway between Cancún and Playa del Carmen, Puerto Morelos is easy to supply with hot mix and sascab from both sides, which keeps paving costs close to Cancún levels despite the location factor.
Resorts operate all year, so internal roads and car parks are paved in sections at night or early morning; along the Ruta de los Cenotes the rainy season can make sascab tracks impassable for trucks.
