Challenge
The hotel's rear communal area presented a serious health and safety risk to guests. Multiple concrete pavement slabs were broken and loose, potentially causing guests to trip over. The original installation, completed by another contractor, had failed due to inadequate and poor foundation preparation.
Solution
Oltec's Reactive Maintenance team conducted a comprehensive assessment, identifying insufficient bedding material in two separate areas. The repair strategy involved:
Systematic removal of affected slabs while maintaining guest access
Complete excavation and replacement of the sub-base
Precision relaying with high-grade bedding material
Quality assurance testing for long-term stability

Results
The project was completed within the deadline without disrupting hotel operations. The new installation eliminated the safety hazard immediately. The hotel management praised Oltec's professional approach and minimal disruption to guest experience.
