Hardstandings
We understand your business is constantly changing and developing to suit your clients and your own requirements. With this in mind, we acknowledge there are often requirements to change and adapt your surroundings to suit specific business needs and bespoke projects.
Considering all your external and internal areas, we at Rio Surfacing can offer multiple solutions and options to meet your needs. Temporary or permanent hardstanding areas can be designed and installed with consideration of long- or short-term use. We also understand that, on occasion, a rapid response will be needed to assess and deliver hardstanding areas at short notice – this is a service we provide to all our clients to help when required.
Some examples below:
- You require a base for a crane? – During enabling works for larger projects, we can provide a temporary hardstanding installation to ensure suitable surfaces are designed and installed to enable you to safely complete your works.
- Parking conundrum? – Your site has established lawned and landscaped areas, but short-term parking is required for a specific project – Sympathetic but effective hardstanding options can be developed to provide surfaces which are required for a short-term basis but also blend in with your surroundings and meet local planning strategy guidelines.
- Need a base for a paystation or EV Charger? – Rio Surfacing work with many national suppliers for parking control and EV charging – we hold a database of standard details to provide bases and hardstandings for current or future installations.
- Cycle Shelters – Encourage your staff to cycle to work when they can – provision of facilities will make this option appealing and also add to your carbon reduction commitment.
- Covered canopies – In addition to covered cycle shelters we will review and suggest options for your outside communal areas/pick up points/meeting areas to provide protection from the elements.

All surface options can be installed to give a cost effective and suitable hardwearing finish in all circumstances. Whether a basic stone or gravel area is required, or a more robust concrete or asphalt/tarmac surface is needed, we will provide the correct detail to complete your hardstanding installation. Please refer to our other service categories for specific products available. This service will also cover minor works such as vehicle or pedestrian access considerations, paved areas for rapid install and removal of short term hardstandings for interim storage of important material items etc.
