Car park drainage and kerbing
in Kildare and Dublin.

Standing water, blocked or broken gullies, missing channels and broken kerbs on car parks, estate roads and yards. Put right on their own or with a resurface by Paul Delaney's crew, 45 years in the trade.

Drainage

Water off
the surface.

Water lying on tarmac gets into cracks, freezes and breaks the surface from below. Most car park failures start where water sits. Getting it off the surface and into a drain is the first job on any repair or resurface.

Falls corrected

Gullies cleared or replaced

Channel drains

Kerbs set in concrete

Dished crossings

Causes

Why water
lies.

Flat falls

Settlement or a poor original lay leaves areas with no fall.

Blocked gullies

Silt and leaves fill the pot and the water backs up.

Sunken areas

A soft base lets the surface dip and hold a puddle.

Missing channels

Water runs to a door or a low corner with nowhere to go.

Kerbing

Kerbs and edging

Kerbs hold the tarmac edge, guide water to the gullies and separate cars from walkways and planting.

Broken and missing kerbs replaced.
New kerb lines for islands, walkways and bays.
Dished kerbs at crossings and accessible bays.
All set on and backed with concrete.

Combined

On its own or with a resurface

Drainage and kerbing can be done as a job in its own right, but it costs less done before a resurface than after one.

Ponding fixed locally where the rest of the surface is sound.
Done first when a resurface is planned, so the new surface falls to working drains.
Gully and manhole covers raised to the finished level.

Options

Drainage
options.

Option	Where it suits
Gully	A low point in a car park or road, piped to a drain
Channel drain	Across an entrance, along a building or a door threshold
Soakaway	Where there is no drain to connect to and the ground drains
Porous surface	New areas where the planning conditions call for it

Larger systems and planning conditions are designed by an engineer; Delaney builds to the design.
