Road repairs for Riga’s routes

Instarmac’s Latvian partner, Delta Urban, has supplied reinstatement materials to assist with the rehabilitation of a number of roads and pavements throughout the centre of Riga. The project has been partly funded by the European Union and required hundreds of gullies and manholes to be repaired on some of Riga’s busiest roads. Delta Urban supplied the chosen contractors, Roakdeks and Parvalde, with UltraCrete M60 rapid strength bedding mortar and QC10 F rapid set flowable concrete for the repairs.

The project has been partly funded by the European Union and required hundreds of gullies and manholes to be repaired on some of Riga’s busiest roads. Delta Urban supplied the chosen contractors, Roakdeks and Parvalde, with UltraCrete M60 rapid strength bedding mortar and QC10 F rapid set flowable concrete for the repairs.

Both M60 and QC10 F have been independently tested by an accredited laboratory and are proven to fully comply with the Highways Authority Product Approval Scheme (HAPAS) – an approval they have met and exceeded for over 10 years. M60 and QC10 F are said to provide first time, permanent and durable repairs with a service life of at least five years.
