To ensure your commercial lot is paved in a way that meets your expectations, discuss preparation strategies with your contractor. There are at least six steps a contractor should take before concrete paving begins:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; State a Start Date<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concrete planning, preparation, and paving require multiple days. Discuss a start date with the <a href=\"https:\/\/concretecontractorjnv.com\/\">concrete contractor<\/a> so you know when the area will not be accessible. This allows you to make alternative access arrangements for any employees and customers in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Define Project Outline<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crew\nmembers will delineate the physical area that is being paved or repaired. It is\nimportant that the squared edges meet your specifications while also appearing\nneat and professional.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Evaluate Former Surface<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before\ninitiating new paving on a commercial lot, the contractor must evaluate the\ncondition of the old surface. Sometimes it is possible to treat and pave over former\nconcrete, while in other cases asphalt must be broken up and removed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Construct Base Layer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the\nproject plan is in place and the former surface is addressed, it is possible to\ncreate the base pavement layer. This includes cutting into the existing surface\nand placing up to 8 inches of project specific crushed base material, such as\ncrushed stone or concrete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Establish a Drainage System<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When\nconstructing the drainage system, the finished grade, the placement of forms\nand the strength of the base must be considered. This is important to prevent\nfuture water damages and flooding problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Reinforce With Steel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nstrength and effectiveness of pavement is a combination of proper planning, a\ngood base layer and a grid reinforcing steel. Such steel is important to\nprotect pavement against high levels of tension and weight that the pavement\nwill experience in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contractors at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/nvmpaving.com\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\">NVM Paving and Concrete<\/a> are ready to evaluate a potential project on site or to discuss questions and ideas.
