Perma-base Exceeds Standards For Asphalt Surfaces.

Dec. 29, 2008 - PRLog -- The big boom in both commercial and residential new construction in the last ten years has taken its toll on blacktop surfaces in the St. Louis area.  Parking lots and subdivision roads have been more prone to premature failure mostly due to undesirable soils, poor base construction, or improper design for intended load force.  “We’ve just noticed that newer asphalt surfaces are falling apart much faster than they should.  This region is comprised of a variety of soil conditions which should be accounted for when constructing a paved surface,” said Richard Dinkela II.  

Perma-base stops many of the area’s bad soil characteristics from causing damage to blacktop pavements.   The extra cost in constructing a Perma-Base structure is minimal when compared to the exhaustive efforts required to maintain or repair a surface that experiences problems associated with sub-base decline.  Creve Coeur Paving (www.CcpStl.com) is excited to bring this new process to the St. Louis area.

Area business owners and property managers can expect a much better return on their investment.  The system possesses a higher tolerance for heavy loads and is more permeable so moisture can pass through it, instead of surfacing to the pavement.  Because of this quality, new construction can take place after the base has been compacted.  Heavy loads such as concrete and refuse trucks will not disrupt the base.  The project manager doesn’t have to worry about soil-yielding causing delays at his worksite.

Expansive clay found in northern areas of St. Charles County and Lincoln County has been known to cause severe cracking even in 8” thick asphalt surfaces.  The Perma-Base system resists reflective cracking from clay to help protect against surface cracking and shifting.

Property owners and managers are doing more to find ways to lower their overhead.  Perma-Base from Creve Coeur Paving brings them the desired solution.  Less maintenance, larger load capacity, and greater longevity from asphalt surfaces depend on a solid sub-base.  Perma-Base offers the solution.
