We begin your project with a base of 3/4 crushed limestone, and we allow several days to weeks to ensure proper settlement of the disturbed ground. With the proper materials and compaction from professional, vibratory rollers, a paved driveway should last 15-20 years.
According to most standards, concrete driveways are poured with materials at 15-20 MPa. MPa is a pressure measurement, meaning “megapascal”. The higher the MPa measurement, the more durable the concrete.
Air entrain refers to minute pockets of air distributed throughout the concrete mixture to improve durability through freezing and thawing cycles – a necessity for properties in Canada. AMPAC’s qualified concrete finishers are experienced in a variety of finishes, including smooth, broom, machine, and trowel finishes. Although there are many varieties of concrete, AMPAC uses dense mixtures with impact-resistant durability for everything from hot tubs to machinery pads. Fibre content mixes are also available for added durability.
