Perfect solution for Birmingham bus terminal

February 10, 2013
Ends

One of the first contracts for the latest CEMEX surfacing product, Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC), was supplied to Amey, on behalf of Birmingham City Council, for the resurfacing of the bus terminus in Druids Lane, Druids Heath, Birmingham.

The terminus is at the end of a popular city bus route and the area involved was a bus turning circle with a traditional concrete surface.  With buses constantly turning on the concrete surface, as well as standing idling with their engines running, the vibrations, braking, corrosive fumes and spillages had caused the surface to crack.  It had also spalled and depressed in areas.

The alternative solution to bitumen was RCC which Amey decided to pilot at this location.

“The increasing cost of bitumen made RCC a viable alternative. It can be laid with a traditional paver, so is less labour intensive with the associated savings.

“The design mix of RCC negates the curing time found with normal concrete mixes so the site was opened to traffic the next day minimizing disruption for local bus passengers,” comments   Steve Crompton, CEMEX Technical Director
