SHIMPAC®- A Marathon AND a Sprint: The Olympian of Ironwork Seating & Levelling

As the world watches Olympic athletes push the boundaries of human speed and endurance, the same principles of elite performance and durability are at the heart of SHIMPAC®’s innovative system.

Combining what may appear to be polar opposites when it comes to required attributes, SHIMPAC® excels in both speed AND durability, making it the sprint and marathon champion of the highways arena.

The Sprinter: Lightning-Fast Installation

With the Olympics in full swing, the world is captivated by the speed of elite sprint athletes. From swimming pool to athletics track, fans worldwide are excited by speed, all observing the quest for faster that event participants are striving for.

The SHIMPAC® system can be installed in just 15 minutes

SHIMPAC® embodies this same pursuit of speed, revolutionising ironwork seating and levelling with its rapid installation and minimal disruption.

Traditional roadwork methods can take 6-7 days for mortar to fully set.

SHIMPAC® eradicates this wait time with its innovative design, which doesn’t rely on mortar thickness. Our system can be fully installed in just 10-15 minutes, allowing more ironwork seating to be completed within a single day’s road closure.

The Marathon Runner…

Unlike on the sprint track, durability and longevity on our roads is equally important.

SHIMPAC® excels here too, much like an Olympic marathon runner, performing consistently for the long run.

Engineered for Longevity…

SHIMPAC® systems are built to withstand the test of time and usage.

They are pressure tested to endure up to 120 tonnes of shear and compression forces, far exceeding the typical 40-50 tonnes seen on roads – and even the 90-tonne forces associated with airports.

SHIMPAC® ROADSHIMS® are a fully engineered solution that can withstnd the sheer and compression forces associated with failing ironwork

The system is designed to endure the rigours of road maintenance cycles, ensuring it doesn’t disintegrate under the pressure of repeated use by heavy vehicles. This robustness is key to its impressive longevity and consistent performance.

National Highways-approved and accredited with ISO:9001 and Construction Line Gold status, SHIMPAC® delivers peace of mind to local authorities and contractors alike, offering long-term value and reducing the need for frequent maintenance and replacement.

The Ultimate Ironwork Champion

SHIMPAC® embodies the best of both worlds: an Olympic sprinter’s explosive speed and a marathon runner’s enduring strength. It is quick out of the blocks, powerful through the drive phase, and has the stamina to keep the pace and stay the course.

The difference between the Olympians and the SHIMPAC® system?

With no reported failures, there’s no sign of a finish line for SHIMPAC®, as the system continues to deliver year in, and year out.
