Road slabs today are an excellent alternative to classical asphalt coating. Buying road plates is the best choice when it is required to quickly and inexpensively mount the access roads to industrial enterprises or the roadway of the street.
The pluses of road slabs
Among the main advantages that distinguish road slabs and transport routes built with their help, the following can be called:
* Speed of building road surface. Installation of plates takes several times less time than laying the asphalt road.
* Simplicity of installation. For the construction of the road in this case, it is required to attract a much smaller number of road equipment: often for these purposes, only a bulldozer (grader) is needed to align the site and construction crane.
* Price. Due to the speed and simplicity of installation, the cost of the road from concrete slabs is much lower than using asphalt.
* High quality. The road mounted from such plates is not almost inferior in terms of its indicators, and often exceeds other types of road surface.
* Universality. Road slabs can be used in a wide range of construction-from the installation of temporary access roads to the construction of the runway airfields.
* The possibility of dismantling. In the case of the construction of temporary roads, after the end of their operation, the dismissal of the canvas and the use of these plates for the construction of another road is possible.
Scope
The main advantage of road plates is their versatility. Of these reinforced concrete products, it is possible to build both a small road to industrial or warehouse premises, and a high -quality runway for receiving heavy aircraft. Also, road slabs are often used for the installation of concrete sites, floors in storage rooms, boxes or hangars. They can also be used as a supporting foundation for the construction of light frame structures — for example, industrial buildings, etc. D.
In private construction, the road stove will be the best option for laying the road to the cottage village, country house. Also, a good option would be to cover the courtyard of a private house with such plates — thanks to their strength and durability, they will last you for more than one decade.
Design
Road slabs are made strictly in accordance with the standards of GOST from stressed reinforced concrete. As a result, they can withstand significant loads — up to 30 tons each plate. The temperature range of operation is also very wide: from — 55 to + 55 degrees, which makes road slabs suitable for use in the largest territory. The sizes of the plates are also clearly regulated by GOST, in accordance with their technical characteristics, they receive the appropriate marking. For example, ordinary plates are marked as PD (road), for runways — PA (airfield, is characterized by increased strength). The dimensions of the plates vary in fairly large values and are from 1 to 3, 75 m wide and from 1, 75 to 6 m in length, which is a big plus of these reinforced concrete products.
