Kirk paving uses only high quality concrete. Fiber is
introduced into the mix (FiberMesh®) to build a strong
surface. We use 4500 pound test concrete. 4000 pound
test concrete is typically used in residential concrete
paving. No concrete is poured over mud and pea gravel.
We only pour over a compacted limestone surface. This
helps to stop sinkage, and we believe this assures a
longer-lasting surface.
Fibermesh® reinforcement is made from
polypropylene or nylon and can be used to
replace (or in addition to,) conventional
concrete reinforcement. Fibermesh® is added
prior to placement of the concrete which
dramatically reduces labor costs.
Benefits of
using Fibermesh® in concrete construction
are:
Reinforces against plastic shrinkage
crack formation
