Product Description

Hydraulic Pressed Concrete Paving Slab

Product Overview

Hydraulic Pressed Paving Slabs are the technical standard for durable, modular surfacing in the UAE. Unlike wet-cast pavers, these units are manufactured under immense hydraulic pressure (minimum 400 tons), resulting in a product with exceptional density, high compressive strength, and low water absorption.

These slabs are the preferred choice for protecting waterproofing membranes on flat roofs, creating service walkways, and surfacing utility areas where functionality and longevity are paramount.

Material Specifications & Quality

  • Manufacturing Standard: BS EN 1339: Concrete Paving Flags. Compliant with Dubai Municipality Standard DMS 001 Part 4: 2020.
  • Process: Hydraulic Pressing (removing air voids and excess water).
  • Concrete: High-cement content mix with minimal water-cement ratio.
  • Finish: Standard pimple/textured finish for non-slip performance (SRV > 45).

Key Technical Advantages

  • Mechanical Strength: High bending strength prevents breakage under point loads from maintenance equipment or foot traffic.
  • Thermal Shielding: When installed on pedestals or insulation (inverted roof), they protect waterproofing layers from direct solar radiation and thermal shock.
  • Low Porosity: Dense structure resists water ingress, mitigating freeze-thaw damage (rare but relevant) and chloride attack.
  • Dimensional Precision: Steel moulds ensure uniform thickness and square edges for tight, trip-free laying patterns.
