Having a well-designed parking lot is important for any business, which is why when Swift Real Estate in Pleasanton, CA, needed a new parking lot, they called on the DRYCO team. We completed a massive parking lot construction project for Swift, which utilized most of our services.
Preparing the Lot
We started with removing existing trees and tree stumps. We had to clear and grub 170,000 square feet (SF) of existing sod and plants and off-haul all debris.
Then, demolished the existing hardscape. The parking lot construction continued with the excavation and curb backfill of the lot. From there, the DRYCO team completed subgrade preparation and grading.
Finally, the lot was ready for us to furnish and install 2,200 linear feet (LF) of underground pipe, area drains, and cleanouts for storm drains.
Installing Rock and Asphalt
DRYCO furnished and installed 8” of recycled class 2 baserock for parking areas, 10” of recycled class 2 for drive aisles, and 4” of recycled class 2 new sidewalk.
We then furnished and installed pervious rock, filter fabric, and a drain pipe over the pervious paving areas. This includes a 3” permeable base section below the paving.
Site Concrete
We formed and poured 5,382 LF of standard curb concrete, 3,327 LF of deepened curb concrete, 3,653 LF of flush curb concrete, 529 LF of C&G concrete, and 5,250 SF of concrete sidewalk.
Curb Details
The DRYCO team used a trencher to trench subgrade to create a 6” minimum trench for 2 sk slurry. We poured 2 sk slurry in the trench, 20” deep. From there, we formed and poured a new curb on top of the slurry.
Asphalt Paving
The team then furnished and paved 2.5” of non-pervious asphalt over non-pervious parking areas and 3” over the drive aisles. We also furnished and paved 1” of open graded asphalt.
Lighting up the Parking Lot
With the construction for the parking lot complete, we furnished and installed new light poles and bases. We trenched between the poles and installed a new conduit, concrete bases, new wire, and 30′ poles. The team connected the new lighting to the existing system.
Fencing the Parking Lot
We demolished 60 LF of existing fencing and installed 60 LF of new 6’ tall black vinyl chain link fencing. We also installed two main gates.
Landscaping
The DRYCO team completed some extensive landscaping work next. We furnished and installed 97,000 SF of drip irrigation, 1,600 SF of spray irrigation, 2,676 LF of 6” and 324 LF of 3” main line. We also included 97,000 SF of 3” mulch and sod for 1,600 SF — which came with a 90-day maintenance period.
We also furnished and installed three shade structures and one wood bench on the property.
Parking Lot Striping and Signage
The finishing touch on this new parking lot construction project was to use our pavement marking services on all of the new asphalt areas.
