If the asphalt in front of your dumpster is failing repeatedly, you're not alone. It’s a common issue faced by many businesses, and it can be frustrating to repair the same spot over and over again. So, what’s causing this persistent problem, and what can you do to fix it for good?
Why Does Asphalt Fail in Front of Dumpsters?
The problem usually boils down to one word: weight. Garbage trucks are incredibly heavy, and the repeated pressure from their weight, combined with turning movements, can cause significant stress on asphalt surfaces. Most parking lots aren’t designed to withstand this level of force, leading to cracks, potholes, and even complete failure of the asphalt in these high-traffic areas.
Common Solutions for Failing Dumpster Approaches
The good news is, there are effective solutions that can permanently solve the issue. Here are a few options to consider:
Reinforced Concrete Pad
One of the most effective solutions is to replace the failing asphalt with a reinforced concrete pad. Concrete can handle the weight and pressure of garbage trucks much better than asphalt. It’s a durable, long-lasting solution that can save you from future repairs.
Steel Grid Panels Under Asphalt
If you prefer to maintain an asphalt surface, installing a steel grid panel beneath the asphalt can be a great alternative. This method reinforces the area, distributing the weight of the trucks more evenly and reducing the risk of cracking or sinking.
