Commercial Paving in Warner Robins, GA

Commercial paving in Warner Robins supports a city built around one of Georgia's largest employers. Robins Air Force Base employs more than 25,000 military, civilian and contractor workers, and the shops, restaurants, offices, churches and apartment complexes along Watson Boulevard, Russell Parkway and US 129 see that traffic every day. Lots here need drive lanes that hold up to trucks, surfaces that drain in summer storms and striping that keeps cars moving.

Building for the load

Lots generally need more base and asphalt than driveways, and the busiest areas, such as entrances, drive lanes, dumpster pads and loading zones, need more than parking stalls. We look at where trucks go and build or repair those areas heavier. On engineered sites we follow the plans; on smaller projects we put the proposed section in writing.

Drainage

July is the wettest month in Warner Robins, averaging about 5 inches. A large paved area sends that water somewhere all at once. Lots need steady slopes to inlets and edges, with no ponds in stalls or across walkways. On rebuilds, we correct low areas and check inlet heights. New lots and expansions may need site plan and stormwater review, which should be checked with the city or county early.

Options

• Repair and seal for mostly sound lots
• Overlay for worn surfaces on a firm base
• Mill and overlay to keep curb heights and drainage
• Full-depth rebuild where the base has failed
• New lots and expansions

Staying open

We phase work so entrances and some parking remain usable, and schedule around shift changes, services and peak hours.

Striping and ADA

A new or resurfaced lot is restriped, and restriping triggers the 2010 ADA Standards for accessible parking, so stalls, aisles and signs are laid out to current requirements.

Church and apartment lots

Church lots see heavy use on a few days a week; apartment lots see steady use every day and frequent move-ins with trucks. Both benefit from heavier entrances, regular crack filling and fresh striping. We schedule around services and move-in days.

Dumpster pads and loading zones

Garbage trucks set down their front wheels and lift several tons in the same spot every week, and that point load crushes ordinary asphalt into a dish. Dumpster pads and loading areas get the thickest section on the lot, and on some sites a concrete pad is the better choice. We tell you which makes sense for your lot.

Maintenance plans

Crack filling every year or two, sealcoating every few years and restriping as lines fade keep a lot in service far longer. We can set a schedule so costs are predictable.
