Shimpac

Historically where final adjustment to carriageway and footpath ironwork is required, contractors and sub contractors have used quarry tiles, brick slips, cut bricks or whatever comes to hand, in conjunction with sand and cement mortar or fast setting mortar. SHIMPAC planks and collars can provide a final reinstatement first time.

Numerous County Councils, Local Authorities, Water Companies and Civil Engineering / Asphalting contractors now select SHIMPAC because it solves their ironwork problems.

Shimpac Approved for use by utility companies and Highway Authorities.
Shimpac Complies with requirements of the Highway Agency Specification.

From our distribution depot and network of distributors we currently supply Shimpac products nationwide.
