Road Construction in Tulum: private roads, streets and access roads
We build private roads, subdivision streets, access roads and yards in Tulum as one package, from survey and earthworks to pavement, drainage and signage. Tulum is building fast: access roads and streets for new subdivisions in Region 15 and La Veleta, private roads to jungle villas and eco-hotels, car parks near the new airport and the Tren Maya station, and many sascab tracks waiting to be paved.
What We Build
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.
Survey & Pavement Design
Topography, geotechnical study and pavement design for the real traffic, from cars to 40-tonne trucks.
The ground under a road in Tulum
Plots sit on thin soil over porous limestone with caves and cenotes nearby, so cavity checks matter more here than anywhere else on the coast; the beach road zone is sand over rock with a high water table. 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 Tulum
Tulum’s urban development plan sets minimum absorption areas on each lot, so hard paving is limited and permeable solutions are often required; clearing jungle needs SEMARNAT authorisation, and near the National Park extra environmental review applies. We map these approvals during design so that construction starts with every connection and clearing authorised.
Traffic and work windows in Tulum
Rainy-season downpours from June to October stop earthworks for days; the busiest tourist months from December to April slow deliveries on the federal highway, so heavy works are best planned for May and November.
Rain and drainage in Tulum
There is almost no storm sewer, so water must be infiltrated on site; permeable paving, swales and infiltration wells are the usual design, always located away from cenotes and septic or treatment systems.
