Built for logistics ops
Industrial pavement is a different animal from retail or office. 80,000-pound tractor-trailers, intermodal containers, swing trailers, forklift traffic, and 24/7 operations punish asphalt that wasn’t engineered for heavy loads. With 20+ years servicing the Chicagoland area, we specify mixes, base depths, and compaction targets engineered for sustained heavy-axle service.
What logistics ops Need from a Paving Contractor
Heavy-Duty Mix Design
Standard 3-inch commercial asphalt fails under 53-foot tractor traffic in 3 to 5 years. Industrial spec is 4 to 5 inches of asphalt over 10 to 12 inches of CA-6 aggregate base, often with geotextile fabric for sub-grade reinforcement. We design and build to that spec.
24/7 Operations Coordination
Logistics yards never sleep. We phase work to keep dock doors, container yards, and trucking gates operational throughout the project. Night work, weekend work, and section-by-section closures are routine.
Sub-Grade and Drainage
Industrial yards punish sub-grade. Failed soils mean failed pavement no matter how much asphalt you put on top. We assess the sub-grade, repair where needed, and design drainage that handles fleet wash-down and storm runoff.
Common Industrial Pavement Issues
Rutting in container staging lanes, alligator cracking at yard entrances, dock-door approach apron failure, wash-down concrete pad deterioration, sub-grade pumping that produces persistent potholes.
