Durable panels for safe walkways and site access
When construction sites become muddy and uneven, pedestrian access can quickly turn into a safety issue. Our precast duckboards provide a stable, non-slip walking surface that’s quick to install and built to last.
The larger 2m × 2m units can also serve as temporary driveways, parking areas, or protective slabs for underground utilities and pipes. Reinforced with steel mesh and cast with chamfered edges, these slabs are strong enough to support both foot traffic and light vehicles.
Product Features & Specifications of Precast Concrete Duckboards
Precast concrete duckboards are designed for site safety and versatility.
Here’s what sets them apart:
Concrete strength: C50 mix
High-strength C50 concrete ensures durability and long service life in demanding site conditions.
Connection: Flat edges
Units sit flush together without interlocking, making them quick to install in straight runs or larger platforms.
Edge detail: Chamfered edges
Chamfered edges help prevent visible chipping and damage during handling.
Concrete finish: Brushed non-slip top surface
Brushed finish provides reliable grip for pedestrians, even in wet or muddy conditions.
Design life: 50 years+
Manufactured with reinforced concrete for long-term durability in demanding site environments.
Reinforcement cover: 30mm
Steel mesh reinforcement adds strength and prevents cracking, with 30mm cover for protection and compliance.
Wall Sizes, Dimensions & Product Range
Our duckboards are available in two standard sizes, both cast with the same high-quality finish. The smaller 2m × 1m slabs are ideal for narrow walkways, while the larger 2m × 2m units are better suited for wider pedestrian routes, temporary parking areas, or utility protection.
