Built To Handle The Pressure: Designing Parking Lots For Heavy Vehicle Load

Paving can be overlooked until someone is struck by an open pit, falls on cracks, or gets into a parking lot that clearly hasn’t been maintained in the past. Behind the scenes, great paving makes the life of a person easier, safer and efficient. If it’s a bustling commercial center, a tranquil RV camping area, or a brand-new neighborhood, paving plays an essential role.

We are Blacktop Experts, we bring high-quality paving services to each project big or small commercial or residential. Asphalt isn’t our only service. Making surfaces that are durable as well as functional and good to drive on or walk across is important.

The Real Impact of Parking Lot Paving

Consider the last time that you walked into a retail store. The parking lot was smooth and well-marked? You had to navigate around potholes or guess where you should park. Parking lots aren’t simply the place you leave your vehicle, it’s also the first impression customers get.

Parking lot paving is about functionality and presentation. The first step towards a good paving is grading. Water should drain away from the surface and not in a pool. The base should be a solid, well-compacted and strong enough to hold anything from heavy trucks to small cars. Asphalt must be applied in a uniform manner, using the appropriate mix for the weather and traffic volume. Striping and signage give the asphalt structure and safety.

Companies that invest in professional parking lot paving will not only improve the aesthetics of their facility and reduce risk and increase satisfaction with customers. They can even increase longevity.

RV Park Paving: Built for More Than Just the Road

RVs aren’t the typical vehicles. They’re long, heavy and packed with features. This means that they need more than a simple asphalt surface. They also require durable well-draining surfaces capable of enduring the weight without rusting or cracking.

Understanding these needs is key for paving the RV park. Wide turning areas, solid parking pads, as well as reliable roads for access are all a part of the equation. In many instances chip seal and recycled pavements are cost-effective options that produce excellent results.

Many RV parks are situated in rural or semi-rural areas where terrain and weather can pose additional challenges. It is our responsibility to analyze the site analyze the soil, test the soil and decide the most efficient solution. What’s the aim? A floor that will last every year, no matter the number of RVs that roll through.

Subdivision Paving The Place Where Community Begin

New neighborhoods offer beyond a collection home. They are a place where kids can ride bicycles and connect with neighbors. Subdivision pavement helps bring these communities to life by creating safe and reliable roads, alleys and driveways.

Subdivision projects require a lot of planning and customization. The roads need to be compliant with city regulations and provide seamless transitions at intersections. They should also be able to support traffic on a daily basis without becoming deteriorating. Subdivision paving contributes not only to the engineering but also the look and feel of the neighborhood.
