One aspect of many Masonry and Paving projects are parking lots. Parking lots are generally a large lot and often constructed of concrete, asphalt, or hard-packed gravel. In addition to the expense involved in laying an asphalt parking lot, periodic maintenance is necessary. One of the challenges faced by many a Procraft Masonry and Paving Company is the upkeep of asphalt. The company uses high-performance aggregates to fill the gaps left by pouring concrete, sand, gravel, or steel onto a concrete slab.
When concrete is poured onto a parking lot, it often leaves large voids in the concrete which can be filled with a variety of material including sand, gravel, asphalt, or concrete chips. A Procraft Masonry and Paving Company engineer will determine the best filling material for each void and then place the filling in the void. One challenge faced by many companies is that concrete often does not dry correctly and needs to be added at a later time. Many companies have the advantage of scheduling a daily or weekly appointment to check the concrete as it dries.
Another challenge often encountered is the creation of a new pavement, either new parking lots or an extension of an existing pavement. This can also involve grading an existing driveway. When grading an existing driveway, the material used should be as durable as asphalt. Concrete is used as an underlayment to help seal the edges of the newly graded area. There are several Concrete Engineered Paver Systems available on the market that incorporate rebar into the concrete mix, which helps eliminate the voids and helps to seal the edges.
When the time arrives to add the concrete, the company must prepare the area by removing all debris from the area. The paver contractor would then pour the concrete mixture while the Concrete Engineered Paver system sets in. Once this has set, a Concrete Engineered Paver System with rebar reinforced steel mesh will hold the concrete in place. This Concrete Paver System, together with Concrete Paving will create a durable and attractive parking lot which will withstand the elements and will last for decades.
