Good Day Friends!
Paving Arts Corp. is proud to announce the completion of the Home Depot Parking Lot reconstruction project located on Avery Avenue in Flushing, New York.
This project encompassed the milling and repaving of over 221,000 square feet of asphalt parking lot, including 6,800 square feet of 24 inch deep excavation and proper restoration of a failing utility trench.
The asphalt that was installed was a NY State DOT approved “SuperPave” mix as specified by the project engineers. The concrete was a high strength 5000 psi design mix that should hold up to the rigors of New York traffic for years to come.
Throughout the parking areas, we formed and poured new concrete collars around more than 60 manholes, catch basins, and utility boxes to improve their durability.
In the process of cleaning out a packed catch basin, we encountered a collapsed drain line which was promptly excavated and repaired the very next day prior to the new pavement being installed leaving a seamless finish.
During the completion of the asphalt paving, we installed over 40 new 6″ and 12″ bollards complete with protective poly bollard covers, embedded sign posts, new ADA signage, Truck Parking, and Pro Shop parking signs.
Also involved was the removal and replacement of 3000 SF of concrete sidewalk across the front of the store entranceway. This concrete installation utilized Diamond-Dowel joint reinforcements and PD-3 load basket assemblies from PNA Construction Technologies. These products were engineered into the project to minimize lateral movement while stabilizing the construction joints preventing cracking in the newly poured slabs.
The final phase of the project involved installing all new concrete parking wheel stops and complete new striping of the lot including all parking stalls, ADA compliant handicap parking areas, fire zones across the front of the store, and all traffic control markings throughout the entire parking lot.
Additional miscellaneous work completed during the project included replacing several sections of damaged guardrail, installation of a new flush mounted floor access door assembly, and replacement of an existing damaged traffic island curb.
On a “Greener” note, all asphalt millings and broken concrete that were removed were sent to local facilities that recycle these materials. The striping paint and concrete curing compounds used were both low VOC products. And all drainage structures were protected with Silt-Sacks to eliminate any construction debris entering the waste water stream for the duration of the project. Even the bollard covers play a green role, they remove the need for yearly scraping and painting of the steel bollards which eliminates the use of VOC containing paints and also the disposal of any toxic paint scrapings!
All of this work had to be completed in phases to minimize disruption of the stores retail traffic. This involved heavy use of portable fence systems, lighted traffic barrels, and custom signage directing store patrons to the currently available parking areas. It also involved many early mornings and late evenings to complete the phased work.
