Asphalt Parking Lot Repair At Marban Investments
Marban Investments’ needed some asphalt patchwork at its Richmond location
The Marban Investments location on Richmond Avenue had an asphalt parking lot in need of restoration. Though deteriorating in spots, the pavement was still functional. However, prompt repairs were needed to preserve those still-usable areas.
The American Paving team was brought in to rescue the asphalt and patch over any emerging failures.
How American Paving helped Marban Investments address its asphalt problems
There were two failures present on the property, both of which necessitated repair. One area was 13’ by 10’ in area. The other was 21.5’ by 4’ in area. Both were found on the client’s primary parking lot. Once identified, our team got to work patching the failed asphalt. Repairs included:
- Sawcutting out the failed asphalt – First, the failed asphalt was isolated from the intact pavement. This included sawcutting around the failed areas and extracting them from the pavement.
- Cement stabilizing the failures – Base failures were behind Marban Investments’ pavement problems, so our crew cement-stabilized the unstable areas first. During this process, the subgrade soil was mixed with cement to provide it greater cohesion and strength
- Tack coating all vertical surfaces – With the base restored, the pavement team applied tack coat to the base and all vertical surfaces. Tackcoat works like an adhesive between existing and new layers of pavement. This helps the asphalt bear weight through all pavement layers, which prolongs its life.
- Placing and compacting type D hotmix asphalt – New asphalt hotmix was rolled out to a depth of 3”. This new mix was compacted following placement.
After installation, the American Paving team restriped the parking lot where it was necessary. When restriping, the pavement crew places pavement markings on the asphalt. This includes parking spaces and traffic flow arrows, for example, that help safely regulate traffic.
Our team is deeply familiar with asphalt patching. We’ve performed cut and patch jobs all over the Houston area and beyond, and so our crews are used to working in demanding conditions.
