URBAN BENCHES

Yes, benches can be anchored into various types of pavement, but the method and success depend heavily on the surface material. For permanent concrete slabs, using a hammer drill to create holes and then setting concrete anchors or epoxy-set bolts is the most secure method. With asphalt, which is more flexible, special asphalt anchors or large concrete footings installed beneath the surface are required to prevent shifting and cracking. For brick or paver surfaces, it's often best to remove a section of pavers, pour a small concrete footing, and anchor into that, then replace the pavers around the base. Always check for underground utilities before drilling. The key is matching the anchor system to the pavement's properties—sheer strength for rigid concrete and flexibility for surfaces like asphalt—to ensure a safe, long-lasting installation that won't damage the surface.
