Road Construction in Akumal: private roads, streets and access roads

We build private roads, subdivision streets, access roads and yards in Akumal as one package, from survey and earthworks to pavement, drainage and signage. Akumal needs private roads and car parks for condos, villas and hotels on the bays, access roads to Jade Bay and Akumal Norte, and repair of sascab and old asphalt roads damaged by heavy rain.

What We Build

Survey & Pavement Design

Topography, geotechnical study and pavement design for the real traffic, from cars to 40-tonne trucks.

Signage & Safety

Line marking, traffic signs, speed humps, reflective studs and street lighting conduits.

Subdivision Streets

Streets for gated communities and lot developments with kerbs, sidewalks, storm drainage and conduits for services.

The ground under a road in Akumal

The coast is sand over limestone with an extensive cave and cenote system under the area, so probing along road alignments is not optional, and heavy fills are avoided where caves are close to the surface. The pavement design and the base thickness are set for these conditions after the soil study, not copied from another site.

Permits for a road in Akumal

Akumal belongs to Tulum municipality; the bays are environmentally sensitive, turtle and coral protections apply, and several areas are private or ejido land where access agreements must be settled before roadworks. We map these approvals during design so that construction starts with every connection and clearing authorised.

Rain and drainage in Akumal

Runoff from roads drains straight into the aquifer and the bays, so oil interceptors, sediment traps and permeable surfaces protect the water; infiltration wells must avoid known cave passages.

Plants, materials and access in Akumal

Akumal is about 35 minutes from our yard; hot mix comes a long way from the north, so for small private roads concrete, pavers or stabilised sascab are often more practical than asphalt.
