Road Construction on Isla Mujeres: private roads, streets and access roads
We build private roads, subdivision streets, access roads and yards on Isla Mujeres as one package, from survey and earthworks to pavement, drainage and signage. Isla Mujeres needs repair and repaving of narrow island streets, car parks for hotels and ferry users, golf-cart routes and the infrastructure of residential projects at the south end of the island.
What We Build
Subdivision Streets
Streets for gated communities and lot developments with kerbs, sidewalks, storm drainage and conduits for services.
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.
The ground under a road on Isla Mujeres
The island is narrow limestone and sand exposed to sea on both sides; road edges suffer from salt and waves, and bases need good drainage to survive storms. 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 on Isla Mujeres
The municipality of Isla Mujeres issues licences; the island has protected areas, reef and turtle rules, and heavy vehicle access is restricted, so works must be planned with the municipality. We map these approvals during design so that construction starts with every connection and clearing authorised.
Rain and drainage on Isla Mujeres
Low areas in the centre flood in heavy rain; infiltration wells and careful grades are needed, and runoff must not discharge onto beaches.
Plants, materials and access on Isla Mujeres
Materials and equipment cross on the cargo ferry from Cancún; hot mix cannot wait long, so concrete and pavers are often chosen, and the crossing adds cost to every truck.
