Puerto de los Mármoles seafront promenade

  The problem

This project involved refurbishing imprinted asphalt that was in good condition but had already lost its colour. The challenge on this project was that the design and supervision team wanted to remove the imprinted pattern from the asphalt.

  The solution

There were only two possible ways to remove the imprinted pattern from the asphalt:

• Fill the joints in the pattern (very expensive).
• Resurface the promenade with asphalt (economical).

Of the two options, they chose to resurface the entire area with asphalt, as this was the most economical option and the quickest to carry out. Once the asphalt had been laid, the Byo Bond Seal PU system was applied. This is a polyurethane coating with a C-3 classification and resistance to saline environments.
