Location: Deeside Industrial Estate, North Wales
Client Type: Logistics & Distribution

Project Scope

The client required a durable, low-maintenance surface for their busy warehouse yard and loading bays. Existing concrete had deteriorated under constant heavy vehicle traffic, creating hazards and slowing operations.

Works included:

Challenges

• Continuous site activity: The distribution hub needed to remain operational during works.

• Weight load requirements: Surfaces had to be engineered for 40+ tonne vehicles.

• Weather disruption: Heavy rain risked delaying curing times.

Our Solution

To keep the client’s operations running, we phased the works: completing one section at a time so trucks could continue using alternative bays.
We used C40/50 grade reinforced concrete with heavy mesh and dowel bars to achieve long-term durability. Our team applied advanced curing methods and protective sealing to counter the wet weather conditions.

Outcome

• Seamless operations: Zero disruption to warehouse schedules.

• Longevity: Surface designed to perform for 20+ years under high load.

• Safety improved: Clear line marking and level finishes reduced on-site risks.

“CBR Commercials handled the job professionally from start to finish. The yard is now safer, smoother, and built to last.”

Thinking Ahead

This project demonstrates how reinforced concrete solutions can transform high-traffic commercial yards. By combining structural engineering with practical phasing, we deliver robust, reliable results for clients who can’t afford downtime.

Project Overview

CBR Commercials were commissioned to carry out a full external yard upgrade for a long-standing industrial client in the Wirral.
The works involved breaking out and removing the existing damaged surface, installing new drainage infrastructure, and constructing a heavy-duty reinforced concrete yard suitable for HGV and plant traffic.

Scope of Works

Our in-house team handled the complete project from start to finish, including:

• Site clearance and excavation
• Installation of linear drainage channels and catch pits
• Sub-base preparation with MOT Type 1 aggregate
• Steel reinforcement and concrete pour
• Power-floating and curing to achieve a smooth, high-strength finish

Challenges

The client required the yard to remain partially operational throughout the works.

To minimise disruption, we implemented a phased delivery plan that allowed access for essential vehicle movements while maintaining safety and quality control on site.

Our Solution

Using phased sectional pours and rapid-setting C40 concrete, we completed each area in sequence while drainage components were installed ahead of schedule.

All levels were carefully set to ensure positive water runoff and eliminate future pooling issues.

Regular on-site inspections ensured compliance with structural and drainage specifications.

Results

The finished yard provides a robust, low-maintenance surface designed for high-impact industrial use.

Improved drainage has significantly reduced surface water accumulation, extending the lifespan of the new concrete and enhancing site safety.

Delivered on time and within budget, this project reflects CBR Commercials’ ability to combine technical expertise with efficient project management.

Project Overview

CBR Commercials were appointed to undertake a complete refurbishment of a busy loading bay area at a logistics depot in Warrington.
The project required reinstating sections of deteriorated concrete, repairing existing inspection pits, improving drainage, and applying new safety line markings to optimise vehicle movement and site safety.

Scope of Works

• Our in-house team delivered the full package of works, including:
• Breakout and removal of damaged concrete bays
• Sub-base preparation and installation of new reinforced concrete
• Refurbishment and sealing of inspection pit edges
• New linear drainage channels and gratings
• Surface finishing and curing
• Precision line marking for traffic control and EV charging bays

Challenges

The client’s operations had to continue throughout the works, with multiple HGVs and tankers in daily use.

Careful sequencing and phased closures were essential to maintain safe access while minimising downtime.

Uneven existing levels and water pooling also required adjustments to gradients and drainage falls.

Our Solution

We carried out sectional concrete pours using high-strength C40 mix and a blue membrane system to improve water resistance and longevity.

Our engineers rebuilt and reinforced pit edges, installed galvanised grating for improved drainage, and coordinated closely with site management to ensure operations continued smoothly.

All line marking was completed using long-life thermoplastic paint in accordance with client safety standards.

Results

The completed loading bay now provides a smooth, durable and well-drained surface designed for high-traffic industrial use.

The refreshed line markings and EV bay layout have improved visibility, traffic flow and on-site safety.

Delivered on time and within budget, the project demonstrates CBR Commercials’ capability to deliver complex refurbishment works efficiently within live industrial environments.

Key Project Highlights

1. Full concrete reinstatement and line marking for a logistics depot in Warrington.
2. Pit edge repairs, drainage installation, and phased working to minimise disruption.
3. Delivered on schedule and built to withstand continuous HGV traffic.
