Commercial Pavement Takes More Abuse
Parking lots and commercial asphalt surfaces often experience more repeated loading than residential pavement.
Delivery vehicles, customer traffic, turning movements, snow clearing equipment and heavy vehicles can all contribute to pavement wear.
Pothole Repair
Potholes are one of the most visible commercial asphalt problems.
Where damage is localized, the failed material can often be removed and repaired with new asphalt.
If the base underneath has failed, a deeper repair may be required before new asphalt is placed.
Crack Filling
Open cracks allow water to enter the pavement structure.
Routine crack inspection and filling suitable cracks can help reduce water intrusion and slow further pavement deterioration.
Localized Asphalt Patching
Not every damaged parking lot requires full resurfacing or replacement.
Localized patching can be useful for isolated failures, damaged loading areas, utility cuts and sections affected by base movement.
Drainage & Low Areas
Standing water can accelerate commercial pavement problems.
Low areas, poor drainage, failed catch basin surrounds or repeated water flow should be considered when planning repairs.
Correcting the underlying drainage problem can be just as important as repairing the asphalt surface.
Parking Lot Maintenance Planning
A practical maintenance plan can include regular pavement inspections, crack filling, pothole repair, localized patching, sealcoating where appropriate and line painting.
Addressing smaller failures before they expand can help reduce the amount of pavement requiring larger repairs later.
Property Managers & Strata Properties
Property managers and strata communities often need to balance immediate repairs with longer-term pavement planning.
Identifying priority areas can help separate urgent safety or access concerns from preventative maintenance that can be scheduled later.
Commercial Access & Scheduling
Repair work should also consider how customers, residents, staff and delivery vehicles will continue accessing the property.
Larger commercial repairs may be completed in stages to help maintain access while work is underway.
