If you were to ask 100 people to explain the differences they can see between 100 pavements, almost no one will be able to describe anything except the surfaces of the pavements. They may notice that one asphalt pavement is more faded than another, that the parking lot striping on one concrete lot is less visible, or that some pavements need more serious repairs than others. If you only look at the surface, it can be difficult to tell much more than whether the pavement is asphalt or concrete. You will not be able to tell how many layers of asphalt were installed, how thick the base layers are, or whether the depths of the concrete slabs are sufficient to meet your needs. Although this is precisely the type of information that all clients need to know, it is especially important for industrial manufacturers.

What Is Special About Pavements for Industrial Manufacturers?

One special factor is that pavements will need to support a high volume of fully-laden 18-wheelers that deliver raw materials, transport finished goods to distribution centers, or deliver products to customers. Studies have shown that a single truck weighing 80,000 pounds will inflict as much wear as 9,600 passenger vehicles using the same pavement. Furthermore, trucks are not always moving in a straight line. Positioning a truck at a loading dock can require multiple low-speed steering maneuvers, so pavements in these areas must be properly engineered and constructed to bear up under the strain. In addition, you probably have multiple dumpster pads that must also bear heavyweight trucks that must be carefully maneuvered into position. If you add in your employee parking lot, access drives, walkways, and other pavements, you will quickly realize that much of your property is paved with concrete or asphalt.

What Are Some Paving Services Commonly Requested by Industrial Manufacturers?

Black Hawk Paving offers a full line of asphalt paving services as well as concrete work, site grading, and excavation. Industrial manufacturers commonly request the services appearing on the following list.

  • Asphalt paving is fast and economical, and it can have a very long life if it is correctly engineered, professionally installed, and properly maintained.
  • Concrete paving is another option that has a long life. Whether you need a concrete parking lot, dumpster pads, walkways, curbing, ramps, or gutters, we can install your concrete pavement.
  • Asphalt overlays can be a cost-effective way to renovate many aged or damaged pavements. Although primarily used to resurface asphalt pavements, many concrete pavements are suitable for overlaying.
  • Asphalt repairs can help ensure the longevity of your pavement. Potholes, alligatored asphalt, and cracks are some of the damages that can typically be repaired quickly and economically.
  • Concrete repairs are often needed to deal with sunken or uplifted slabs. Other types of damage, including most cracks, can typically be repaired as well.
  • Asphalt sealcoating is an essential service if you want to maximize the life of your pavement and simultaneously reduce your need for expensive repairs.
  • Pavement markings, including parking lot striping, can help eliminate confusion, promote safety, and increase your property’s aesthetics.
  • Asphalt fabric can add structural support when applied prior to the installation of an overlay. It can also be an excellent way to inhibit reflective cracking in an overlay applied to a concrete pavement.

In addition to the above services, we can also provide you with asphalt milling, site grading, parking lot car stops and signs, sewer repair, and excavation services.
