Roughly 4600m2 of untouched grass land was converted into a Heavy Duty Parking lot that now serves as a parking space, and loading/unloading area for heavy tanks and other cargo. In addition to heavy trucks, the asphalt must withstand heavy forklift traffic.
The raw land was first cut down roughly 650mm in depth. Cement powder was then mixed into the exposed subgrade for extra stability. 300mm of gravel was then placed in two lifts, followed by two lifts of hot mix asphalt with a combined depth of 125mm.
The project was completed in three phases to accommodate electrical installation and permitting. Precautions were taken to protect the completed work at each stage to prevent delays and additional costs.
