Concrete Drainage & Parking Lots 

Many commercial building owners will opt into gaining access to concrete drainage and parking lots created from properly sourced and placed cement. Concrete has been more competitive and widely used than asphalt in the business industry and has increased the overall value of the business for a lucrative market. A smart business owner will choose commercial concrete with professional cement contractors due to the decreased amount of overhead and maintenance plans that come with concrete choices.

A concrete parking lot is a large exterior slab that is placed on the ground that defines the useable boundaries of the building. It is also detailed to match the typography and to allow for particular drainage accessibility that can maintain a heavy impact and loading capability. Businesses choose to add concrete parking to avoid damage from environmental exposures and makes the business more aesthetically pleasing and accessible.

Asphalt is an option that is existent for businesses; however, the prices of asphalt are continuing to rise and the repairs are extensive, which is why most businesses choose to go the route of concrete. To put it into perspective, concrete will occasionally need to be resealed or resurfaced, however, its life expectancy far surpasses any asphalt slabs. Business owners may need to maintain some annual inspections for cracks and surface damage; however, the overhead costs of maintaining it are dramatically lower than any other choice on the market.

Commercial Concrete Choices And Design

There are a variety of choices of concrete texturing and colors that can be added to a parking lot or drainage area for commercial buildings. However, the usual choice is a lighter color and they can withstand the normal amount of lighting around the area.

Commercial businesses choose to go with a properly placed drainage solution as it also helps with the safety and preservation of the business. Concrete can reduce heat compared to asphalt, thus allowing lower cooling costs for the businesses in the surrounding areas.

Since concrete can withstand a heavy load without developing a pothole or starting the erosion process, it is stronger than any asphalt that was previously used or considered. Concrete contains a lot of recycled materials such as slab, fly ash, or concrete aggregate which leads to lower toxicity for the passersby.

The design choices that are allowed with commercial concrete decisions allow for overall better smoothness and flatness as well as appropriate thickness where high traction may be induced. A few design pointers that commercial companies should consider are the following:

• Concrete is more than just a parking lot, it is an aesthetically improved design feature that offers joints, light poles, drainage abilities, slabs, and curbs that all coincide with each other.
• An average 4 to 5-inches of  pavement concrete is usually acceptable within the codes, however, there are options for thicker concrete choices depending on the traffic flow that is going to be considered.
• There are a variety of choices for designs and co-joining other lots that make the concrete options more accessible and convenient for consumers and commercial business owners.
• Most of the parking lots and drainage areas will have a thickened amount of concrete added to allow for curbing and decorative treatment designs. Overall, the concrete option will allow the business to look cleaner and add dimension for any business.
