Whether it is placing a 30,000 SF
slab or just repairing curbs, American Asphalt caters to
your needs. Concrete is a vital part of parking lot and paving
construction. American Asphalt self-performs all aspects
of forming, placing, and finishing concrete.
| Valley Gutter |
 |
A valley gutter is a section of concrete that is used to channel
water to a drainage point. Poor drainage and/or ponding of water
can lead to accelerated pavement deterioration. Valley gutters
help with rain water as well as irrigation runoff. |
| Dumpster Approach and Mat |
| A concrete slab is recommended for the approach
as well as a mat for the dumpster to rest on. Typical
parking lot asphalt is not designed for and may not
withstand the stress and load of the trucks. Concrete
is a stronger material and can sustain a much higher
load capacity. |
| Curbs |
 |
The most common curbs are used to separate pavement
or parking lot areas from landscaped areas and sidewalks.
Just like any other parking lot product, curbs sometimes
do get bumped or naturally deteriorate. American
Asphalt repairs existing curbs and places new curbs
with respect to specification detail. |
 |
| Ramp |
| Asphalt or concrete, depending on the purpose,
ramps are important for disabilities, code, deliverables
and receivables. |
| Sidewalks |
| Sidewalks are important for pedestrian safety and
marking clear paths to and from any given areas.
American Asphalt repairs and installs any sidewalk
that serves pedestrians and/or vehicles. |
| Utility Aprons |
| It may be recommended or required that manhole,
water, and sewer covers have a concrete apron. This
rigid pavement provides a secure support around the
manhole or water valve cover. This also prevents
flexible pavement from overlapping and creeping over
the covers. |
| Entrance Ways |
| The entrance of parking lots are exposed to a high
volume of traffic. This is a frequent area where
asphalt failing occurs. A concrete entrance way provides
strength against the lateral shear of vehicles turning
in and out of the way. |
| Wheel Stops/ Parking Blocks |
| Wheel Stops/ Parking Blocks are designed to protect
vehicles against hitting curbs and or other vehicles.
American Asphalt replaces a variety of old and cracked
wheel stops as well as installs for new construction. |
