Pavire - the name

Pavire (pronounced pa-veer) is a Roman term for the process used in making an early road and contributed in no small part to the success of the great Roman Empire of the day.

Our History
The Roman’s used the road to their competitive advantage and move armies of people and conduct commerce and trade, without the road or the Pavire they wouldn’t be the great civilization they were.

Just like the Roman’s our customers are taking on the world and winning – they have that competitive advantage and we play no small part in giving them that edge.

The shortened History of the Roman Road
The road was constructed by filling the ditch or Fossa. The method varied according to geographic locality, materials available and terrain, but the plan, or ideal at which the architect aimed was always the same. The roadbed was layered.

Into the fossa was dumped large amounts of rubble, gravel and stone, whatever fill was available. Sometimes a layer of sand was put down, if it could be found. When it came to within several dozen centimeters of the surface it was covered with gravel and tamped down, a process called pavire.

The flat surface was then the pavimentum. It could be used as the road, or additional layers could be constructed. A statumen or "foundation" of flat stones set in cement might support the additional layers.

Our logo
The logo is a combination of parts that make up what Pavire is all about. The name itself sits on a sheet of paper to signify the completing stage of the Roman road. Very much like the way Pavire completes projects no matter what size or scale and flattens the 'bumps' along the way. The flattening of a piece of paper acts as a metaphor for reducing waste and paper documents, which is one of the steps every business should take to ensure a better environment today, tomorrow and the future.

Ultimately, Pavire will increase your visibility by placing you at the top, so you and your suppliers can foresee the entire project and make the right decisions throughout the whole process.
