Asphalt Car Park Construction
One of the first things that a customer notices when arriving at your commercial business, caravan park or retail store is the car park. With first impressions being important, your car park needs to look good and be functional. At Bitumen Co we have been doing asphalt car park construction and commercial driveways for over a decade. Our team takes pride in delivering professional car parks that not only look great but are long-lasting.
Benefits of Asphalt Car Parks
Having a smooth, crack and pothole-free car park for people to park their cars on shows that your business is professional and successful.
Asphalt, not to be confused with bitumen, is the most common material used for surfacing roads and it is also highly recommended for car park construction. Here are a few other benefits to asphalt car park construction:
Robust properties that make it durable and long-lasting
Fast curing meaning that customers can drive on it within 24 hours of being laid
Dark colour allows for high contract line-markings and reduced glare
Colour can be changes to suit your property or building aesthetics
Material properties allow for expansion and contraction meaning lower risk of cracking
Asphalt can be laid to any shape including curves without gaps
Heavy vehicle loads are not a problem with asphalt
Asphalt Car Park Design and Installation
Our team has a wealth of experience in civil asphalt construction projects, including the design of new car parks, extensions, and resurfacing works, as well as fixing potholes. When designing an asphalt car park, it’s essential to work with a professional asphalt car park construction company. This will ensure your car park is built with the less amount of inconvenience for your customers and that it lasts as long as possible without needing repair or unnecessary maintenance due to poor installation.
Gradient and Drainage
Before we begin the asphalt laying process, we need to assess the gradient of your car park or driveway and drainage points to ensure that water will not pool on the surface and will flow to the drainage areas. Pooling water can affect the surface integrity and compromise the substrate, which causes cracks or potholes.
Concrete Kerbing and Channelling
Concrete kerbing around the edges of your asphalt car park or along your driveway protects the exposed asphalt edges from debris, water, and uneven pressure, which may lead to cracking. If we resurface your car park or driveway, we will ensure that the concrete kerbing is in good condition (recommending repair or replacement of damaged kerbs as required) and that the correct gradient into the drainage points is achieved during installation.
Bollard and Concrete Wheel Stop Installation
We help your customers not to park too far forward in a designated car spot by installing concrete or rubber wheel stops. These barriers are fitted to the ground and sit on top of the asphalt surface and are ideal for protecting people and property from damage by vehicles.
Car Park Line Marking Services
On completion of your new asphalt car park, you will need to have the driving lanes and parking bays marked out. Car park line marking can be tricky. This is why a lot of line marking companies only do road marking. We have a specialist crew who are very experienced in line marking of car parks. We will do the job right the first time, as there is nothing worse than poorly planned and executed line marking, especially on your nice new asphalt surface.
