Drainage Issues Caused by ADA Upgrade

I was walking a shopping center for a client and came across this. An ADA upgrade was probably required by the city when this tenant moved in–no problem!

Reflective Cracking & Patches

This video was taken in Henderson, Nevada at a shopping center. There was asphalt overlay done, yet the cracks are clearly showing through. The patches that were done, were most likely done with a skid steer or backhoe and the uneven wobbly lines show that. Saw-cutting or a grinder attachment would have produced a cleaner […]

Compaction for paving or concrete is ideal at 95% no less than 90%.  The depth of penetration by the probe signifies the percentage of […]

Saturated Substrate

This video shows the result of a core sample in Denver, CO.  This was the last of several core samples taken on site.  What was revealed was a saturated substrate in an area that had no cracks.   Finding this out before construction allows us to create options without exposing saturated substrate.  If we expose […]
