Quick hardening pointing mortar - Product advice please

[quickfixneeded]

Excellent site - this is my first post.....

I will be bedding bricks/blocks on a road project. Using a strong polymer cement sand mortar bed to hold the blocks, will leave it 24 hours to cure and gain strength.

The next day i need to point between the bricks, but.....after 4 hours the cars and coaches and possibly lorries need to get onto it - i know that's fast. Joint is 30mm wide, 10mm deep.

Not sure where to look for a product; any ideas?

Thanks

There are rapid set mortars, but they rely on the bed and the joint being done in the correct material and with such a shallow joint, I'm not sure what would be used.

I can't understand why:

a) blocks would be rigid-laid in the first place

b) why they would be rigid-laid with such wide joints

c) why there's such a rush to open to traffic - a flexible system would be quicker.

I'll ask a few colleagues if they know of a suitable product.

surely 70mm + block paving would work better?

Call Matt Carter on 01827 872244, at ultrascape, he may be able to help, sells a product for slurry jointing which accepts traffic in 4 hours,but those joints will need to be deeper, why so shallow?

Joint is 30mm wide, 10mm deep.

Or is it a typo and should read?
Joint is 30mm deep, 10mm wide.
