Lowe's PARKING LOT,
Logan Utah

Top Job Asphalt worked Monday through Thursday for two weeks to get this job accomplished without hindering customer access to the store. The parking lot was carefully split into 4 sections, with parking, deliveries, ADA access, trailer/ pro parking, and general access in mind. Top Job worked daily with store managers to ensure unforeseen issues could be handled quickly, and some small modifications to the phasing plan were made to better accommodate the stores needs.

A major issue was encountered on the first day of paving. The asphalt matte was struggling to meet compaction, even with multiple rollers working full time. It was discovered that the ½” mix design approved by the engineer actually contained some ¾” rock, which was not allowing proper compaction of the 2” overlay. Top Job immediately got to work finding solutions. A new mix design was submitted and approved by the engineer, and Top Job rented a huge roller, designed for paving roads. Needless to say no additional compaction issues were encountered for the remainder of the project.

The timeframe on this project was extremely aggressive, in order to minimize lost revenue. Mondays and Wednesdays were milling and prep, and paving was performed on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Milling was struggling to keep to the timeframe, so a night shift was scheduled, which enabled the crews to stay on track.
