Bardon Contracting is able to offer the specialist service of concrete cracking and rubbilising through the company’s fleet of guillotines and multi-head breakers. This provides the ability to convert a rigid pavement to a semi-flexible state allowing it to be overlaid with asphalt or broken up further for removal and recycling.

Principal activities include:
Concrete to asphalt road conversions
Concrete slab demolition
Concrete monitoring through coring
Reinforced slab demolition
Induced vertical hairline cracks to create a ‘hinged joint’
Rolling of destabilised concrete pavements

Up to 100% recycling of the existing pavement is possible, creating time, cost and environmental benefits. Constant monitoring of the operation ensures cracking takes place or immediate mitigating works can be undertaken.

Considerably reduces/eliminates the risk of reflective cracking once overlaid with asphalt
Achievement rates of 12-20,000m2 of breaking per shift
Remote operated guillotine to increase health and safety aspect of operation
Single pass operations
Reduces carriageway possession times
