Asphalt Concrete and Striping for Celgene of Costa Mesa

In this blog we are showcasing some asphalt pavement maintenance performed in Costa Mesa, California. The customer was a local company called Celgene, and they required us to come out and perform several types of asphalt pavement maintenance.  The first service they required was some pavement demolition of both concrete sidewalk as well as the removal of some asphalt. Once these where out of the way, our customer had some plumbing work done to a pipe in the parking lot, then they gave the project area back to us. The next step of this asphalt pavement maintenance project was to form and pour back about (36) square feet of 3inch concrete sidewalks. These sidewalks where located in the handicap parking area of the parking lot so it was important for us to return it to them up to ADA code. With the sidewalks and concrete curbs repaired we were able to move onto the next step of this asphalt pavement maintenance project. The next step in this project consisted of the installation of approximately (215) square feet of new asphalt. The asphalt was installed at three inches as well and was then rolled with our 3 ton roller for maximum compaction. The last part of this asphalt pavement maintenance project consisted of the re-painting of (6) handicap parking spaces and installing new concrete wheel stops. The customer was very pleased with the outcome and so where we!

Asphalt Contractors Perform ADA Upgrades in Santa Ana

This week Orange County paving company; Empire Parking Lot Services was contacted to do some asphalt and concrete repairs relating to an ADA lawsuit. As mentioned our customer had been named in the compliance lawsuit, and needed to make the repairs in order to satisfy the ADA compliance codes for Orange County California. This project was basically removing some concrete sidewalks and ramps that were not compliant, and installing some new ones in that met local ADA compliance. Once the asphalt and concrete grades were shot and a scope of work was determined, we gave our customer the proposal. They accepted the proposal, and we scheduled the project to be completed on a weekend for the convenience of our customer’s tenants.  This project was located in Santa Ana and required some careful planning as well as our customer needed us to pull all of the permits as well as  setting up the inspection after the project was completed.

About this ADA Compliance Project

This job started as every project Empire Parking Lot Services performs. We barricade of the work area keeping the general public at a safe distance. As always safety is our chief concern on these projects. Once barricaded, the next thing to be done was the removal of the asphalt and concrete that was not up to code. We use saw cutting to cleanly remove only the areas of concrete and asphalt that were affected by the ADA code. One of Empire Parking Lot Services main goals is to get a customer’s parking lot up to ADA compliance while doing as little work as possible. With the asphalt and concrete demolition work done it was time to load the old asphalt and concrete into the trucks and haul it away to the plant for recycling. It’s important to keep in mind the fact that both asphalt and concrete are highly reusable and are some of the oldest and greenest building mediums on the planet. Long before recycling was necessary or trendy these materials have been getting recycled and reused. Once the asphalt and concrete removal was done, we started to form and pour the new concrete handicap ramps and concrete sidewalks. The concrete sidewalks are the first things we frame, followed closely by the concrete handicap ramps. Once the new ramps and sidewalks where formed and poured, it was time to move onto the asphalt needed to be patched back to the edge of the newly installed concrete.

Asphalt Contractors Fix ADA issue in Costa Mesa Ca.

In October Empire Parking Lot Services was hired to be the asphalt contractors for a small business parking lot in Orange County, California. The area of Orange County is called Costa Mesa and it is in South Orange County, with neighboring cities like Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Santa Ana, and Newport Beach. We were contacted by our customer after the city called them out on some ADA codes that were not up to current standards. The main problem with their parking lot was that their handicapped ramps weren’t compliant. In addition to the handicapped ramps however the handicap striping was also in need of updates. We submitted our price and the customer agreed to it, So it was time to get the job scheduled.

About Handicap Ramp Construction

When it comes to this type of ADA ramp repairs, Empire Parking Lot Services has plenty of experience.  With request coming in from all over Southern California, Empire has become the leading asphalt paving contractor to deal with these ADA compliance projects.  Typically we find, there are two reasons that our customers would need these ramp repairs done.  The first reason is, when a tenant or property owner decides to make some changes to their parking lot, such as a tenant improvement project, or a exterior repair project. These types of projects require a permit by the city, and often require ADA upgrades to be done at that time as well. What typically happens is, when they go to pull the permit the city requires them to update their ADA codes on their parking lot. The second reason is becoming increasingly more common as well. Lawsuits triggered by attorneys representing their disabled clients.  Now often times these are legitimate cases, but recently a few drive by attorneys have started flooding the courts with bogus lawsuits that require their victims to pay up or else make these repairs! The good news is it’s not as expensive as it used to be due to asphalt contractors learning to do these repairs faster and more economically. Often times Empire Parking Lot Services can fix these problem for less than what the attorneys are asking for.

How This ADA Ramp Repair Project Went

When we arrived at the job site, the first thing we do is to block the work area off so that no one unknowingly wanders into the construction area while work is being done. Once the area is safe we start making marks and shooting the elevations needed to insure that the proper grades of asphalt are installed on the handicapped ramp. Next, we started working with the asphalt to build up the handicap ramp and shape it to the proper height. We use tools such as smart levels and and transits to constantly check the grade as we pave the new ramp. We do this to insure the grade that is required stays intact. After the asphalt is distributed properly we rolled it using a 5 ton vibratory roller. Once the asphalt cooled the lines are painted and proper ADA markings are installed. Next handicap signs are installed this signage includes the handicap signs in the parking stall as well as the handicap signed required at the driveway entrance. Once all the signs where installed we cleaned up our mess and turned it back over to the customer. They were very pleased, the work passed inspection and the small office is now open for business. The customer informed us that we were the best asphalt contractors they had ever used.

Asphalt Contractors Make Repairs to ADA ramps in Costa Mesa Ca. is a post from: Asphalt Contractors-Orange County & Los Angeles

Asphalt Paving In Los Angeles California

This month Empire Parking Lot Services was chosen as the preferred paving contractor for a property manager in Los Angeles, California. This paving project was located in Los Angeles, a shopping center that was in bad need of some asphalt overlays, and even a few areas that needed the asphalt to be removed and replaced completely.  Once the customer outlined what they needed, we quickly got a crew out there to get this paving contract executed.  The job itself took all day but when the smoke cleared we had installed nearly 100 tons of new hotmix asphalt.  The customer was very pleased as where the shop owners that got a face-lift on the parking lot near their businesses.

Asphalt Contractor Equipment Needed

To get this paving job done we needed to bring out several pieces of asphalt paving equipment. Included in the list of needed equipment was the following, an asphalt saw was needed to saw-cut the pavement areas designated for removal. Then we used a back hoe with an attachment to break the freshly saw cut asphalt areas out and ready them for disposal. After the back hoe was done breaking the asphalt we used it to load the dump trucks and ship it off to the dump. Next we brought in our skip loader to move asphalt around the job. A skip loader is used for this purpose because it can do the work of ten men in half the time. After the asphalt was distributed throughout the project we used a 5 ton vibratory roller to compact the fresh asphalt and ready it for traffic.

Equipment Used On This Project:

• Saw-Cutting Rig
• Back Hoe with Attachments
• Dump Trucks
• Skip Loader
• 5 Ton Roller

Asphalt Contractors Seal & Stripe 2 Chick-Fil-A’s in San Marcos & Oceanside Ca.

Empire Parking Lot Services is at it Again.

Have you ever eaten at Chick-fil-a? Well if the answer is no, then you don’t know what you are missing! Chick-fil-a is a nation wide chain of chicken restaurants that serve very tasty breaded and grilled chicken sandwiches. I have 2 words for you Char-Grilled Chicken Sandwich. OK so that was 4 words. Or 3? It doesn’t matter what does matter is they are very tasty. So anyways the point I am trying to make is that we ate a lot of food while working on these projects. The first job we did was a Chick-fil-a located in San Marcos California. As asphalt contractors we work on many fast food company parking lots. Chick-fil-A is one of the nicest and cleanest parking lots to work on. They really take care of there restaurants.

About the Striping Job:

We arrived at about 7 am and blocked of the job to have a safe area to work in. This project was a line & stencil painting project over the old faded striping. once the areas where blocked off we quickly set off to work. One of our men started spraying the lines while the other got on stencils. Chick-fil-a needed larger stencils in the driveways so they us gray out the old ones that where only 1 foot tall and replace them with 2 foot tall stencils. The 2′ stencils looked much better and communicated the message clearer then the old ones. Once the stenciling and lines where painted we just had to freshen up the handicaps and we where done. Even though we are a asphalt contractor parking lot striping is a services we offer. All in all the job turned out nicely and there where no problems. Take a look at the photos for small time line of the project.

Empire Parking Lot Services fixes parking lots for different reasons every single day.  Most days the repairs are pretty straight forward. A skin patch here or  small overlay there and the problem is fixed.  But sometimes parking lot issues are not so straight forward.  Drainage issues are one of the most tricky problems that asphalt contractors face these days.  The reason for this is that many asphalt paving contractors are unaware of the complexities and grade issues that are involved in fixing drainage problems.  Earlier this year Empire Parking Lot Services was hired to solve one of those complex drainage issues in small parking lot located Costa Mesa California.

About this Irvine Asphalt Repair Project

This weekend Empire Parking Lot Services performed a project for a local Irvine California business man who needed to get his asphalt fixed before moving his business in to his new building.  He had to do a quick removal of a small section of his asphalt to accommodate some water pipe repairs so he called Empire for there asphalt contracting expertise. The plumbing contractors had removed the asphalt and based the area back in with soil and rock base. Empire was hired to perform a patch back of new asphalt to the tune of (4) inches. Though this was a small job, we took are time in doing it correctly. The ground was thoroughly compacted before any asphalt was installed to make sure there were no voids in the native soil.  Once that was complete we installed the asphalt in 2 lifts. This also insures that no voids form in the asphalt portion of the process. These voids can eventually become potholes or bird baths, so it’s best to do the job right the first time. Once the asphalt was installed we compacted it with a vibe plate for proper compaction. Lastly we iron all edges to be sure that they don’t eventually unravel. Our job went very well and the customer was very satisfied.  They got a quality job done right the first time and good price. Our customer has since called us to schedule a complete seal coat application but that is another blog.
