Build the Right Concrete Parking for Your Commercial Property
Concrete parking lots are not uncommon in the United States, especially toward the southern region of the country. Toward the northern region, asphalt lots may be more commonly seen. Asphalt is used more often in the northern region because it is more suitable for colder temperatures and weather. Because it is not as pliable a material, concrete does not typically withstand freeze and thaw cycles in the same way that asphalt does.
Installing a Concrete Parking Lot
If you wish to install a parking lot made from concrete, you will need to rely on blue print drawings, which should include the specifications for preparation, installation, sub-grade material, concrete mix design,

Sealing is an important aspect of maintenance for parking lots in locations that experience snow and cold temperatures. Resealing should be done every two to three years, in order to protect your parking lot from the weather and traffic. Always use a sealing contractor with a good reputation, and be sure that a high-quality, commercial grade sealer is used. A concrete crack sealer will help to seal cracks and prevent additional damage, including potholes. This type of sealing should be done on a yearly basis if possible.
When you have a quality concrete parking lot installed by qualified professionals, the return on your investment should be many years of use. A viable water drainage plan is a must for any parking lot owner. Maintenance is a major aspect of keeping your concrete parking lot in good shape. Sealing should be done on a regular schedule, in order to prevent damage that can deteriorate the parking lot. It’s always advisable to use quality materials and to utilize a reputable company to do the job. With the right kind of planning and implementation, you will ensure that you get the most from your concrete parking
Doing so would cause the asphalt to harden and therefore make it unusable. “Because asphalt cannot be stored, it is not susceptible to being inventoried” (Justia, 2000).
Mitchell Duneier, a sociologist with a rather impressive curriculum vitae to his credit, spent five years of his otherwise privileged life keeping company with drunks, derelicts, drug addicts and the homeless on the sidewalks of New York's Greenwich Village. His purpose was not to exploit the individuals whose reason for being on these streets is to drum up whatever income they can by selling books and magazines; rather, it was to learn and understand why they were there. In the process of doing so, Duneier drew his arguments and methods mostly upon symbolic interactionism perspective's theories; his focus on "shared meanings", "deviant", `laws", "individual (and social) interactions" flourish throughout "Sidewalk."
There are several types of porous pavements, namely porous asphalt, porous concrete, and numerous modular paver systems. Both a construction material and a design technique, systems may be used individually or enhanced through a combination of types. Porous asphalt consists of an open-graded coarse aggregate bonded together by asphalt cement. The mixture contains fewer fines than traditional asphalt and sufficient void space between aggregate particles allows water to drain through quickly. Porous concrete also consists of an open-graded coarse aggregate, formulated with Portland cement and water. Modular porous pavers are structural units, such as concrete blocks or reinforced plastic mats, with void areas that are filled with pervious materials, to achieve a load-bearing permeable surface. The pervious fill materials include sand, grass turf, and gravel.
Parking Lot Striping: Parking lot striping and professional pavement markings can help improve the safety and appearance of your parking
The park's primary purpose entails the creation of a greener environment through an aesthetically well-designed landscape. Moreover, all materials used for constructing the park will come from post-consumer-recycled content or materials that are environmentally degradable. The intrinsic value of building a park goes bey...
Repairing a damaged concrete garage floor can be expensive and there is no guarantee that an accident won't occur to ruin the concrete as soon as the work is complete. An epoxy covering eliminates the worry of damage and will last for years. In addition, the cost is considerably less than other surfacing options or repair work. It is recommended that the services of a professional be employed to install the epoxy coating. Hiring a professional is more convenient and safer for the homeowner than doing the job

Anytime the idea of making any corrections or additions to the parking lot comes up in a discussion, the notion is put down due to the time the parking lot would be unusable while under renovation. How long does it take pavers to put in a residential driveway? A licensed and bonded concrete crew can lay multiple driveways in one day, and to add an entrance to the parking lot is very comparable. Therefore, if the school shut down the front parking lot for less than a week, students could enter and exit the parking lot quickly and with ease or the school could schedule the work for days the students have off..
The history of Webberville began with a handful of settlements in the 1820s. In 1839, the community was formally established as Webber's Prairie, becoming Webberville in 1853. It would be 150 years before Webberville was officially incorporated as a village.
First, parking on campus needs improving. . Baton Rouge community college needs to expand their parking lot because it be complicated trying to find a parking spot on campus. With every new freshmen students that’s just coming out of high school is taking up most of the parking spaces. I believe parking passes should be free for students because students have to park sometimes in Mc Donald parking lot because they don’t have no other choice. Also there needs to be additional parking on campus and also for those that are visiting the campus. The parking lots have also plenty of pot holes that can damage student car and can cause a flat tire. If a student hit another student car it’s hard to find out who did it because there isn’t enough policemen out in the parking lots looking. Brittany
My life is related to the sidewalk I chose because of the characteristics that represent the story of my life. A sidewalk to me is a laid path to my future and along the way there are bumps and cracks in the road. But there is only one rule to my sidewalk. You have to keep walking no matter how hard life gets or no matter how many cracks are in my sidewalk. Sometimes life goes as planned, and sometimes life can be unpredictable or hard off.Just like a sidewalk, the older i get the worst i'll look but underneath the concrete slabs is a man know one knows. Sidewalks can be as hard as the concrete but as soft as the grass. The cracks on my sidewalk represent many different things such as basketball, and hard times.
Concrete is one of the most widely used construction material in the world. The reason for this is because concrete is strong, easy to make and can be molded into various shapes and sizes. Besides that, concrete is cheap, affordable and is readily mix.
During my under graduation I have learnt only about basics of pavement materials and different layers of pavements. It was only after studying graduate courses I realized how limited my knowledge was and I need to work very hard and explore more in this vast field. During first year of my graduate study I have studied Pavements Materials, Pavement Design and Evaluation, Highway Construction Practices and these graduate courses opened a new paradigm for me to the way I looked at pavement engineering. This prompted me to look at it as a field full of challenges which make it even more dynamic and op...
Finding an empty parking space is a common problem in most urban areas which especially occurs in popular areas and tourist attraction spots. This situation has become more serious especially during their peak time, be it holiday seasons ,carnivals or any other festivals. The limited availability of vacant parking spaces often result in traffic congestion. Limitation of a driver’s capability of finding a vacant parking spaces and absence of efficient management are also at fault causing this problem.
It is hard to find parking on campus, especially during rush hours. Both students and professors are encountering trouble for this crisis. As a simple example, the parking lot next to the Sarkeys building is always full. This problem is a continuous, daily hazard. As a student required to maintain a lot of class schedules and activities, I suffer from the parking problem daily and find that others encounter the same. It is true that the university is working on a new parking garage, but during the construction process, there is no alternative way to settle the crisis. The official home page of OU parking and transportation services is a source to consider for exploring the problem.
