AN EZ STREET ^TM SOLUTION

EZ Street ^TM is an extraordinary, engineered alternative to hot mix providing cost effective, simple and enduring solutions for pavement repairs including pot holes, utility cuts, edge repairs and man hole surrounds.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Fulton Hogan was engaged by ANI to improve the drainage and aesthetics around an existing electrical building and associated storage cabinets. Previous attempts to stop the water pooling by creating a concrete edging perimeter were unsuccessful.

DETAILS OF WORKS

The existing aggregate and base material was removed from site. The pavement was shaped to create a path for the water to flow around the building. An alternative to hot mix was necessary due to the small quantities and restricted access between cabinets.
