The construction of the park calls for a new, larger boat trailer parking area. Crews have been working on this for quite a while. With the wet winter, compaction was difficult to achieve. Just Bucket Excavating brought in two feet of rock on top of geotextile fabric to insure a solid subbase and base for the pavement.
We had a good break with the weather. The base course is dry and compacted and paving operations have begun. The parking lot will be paved in two lifts or layers of asphalt. The first layer goes on the rock subbase and the second, final layer goes on top of new or existing asphalt.

Patching the existing asphalt
Where the final lift will go on top of existing asphalt, any damage or trenches dug during construction are patched and compacted.
Independent laboratory inspectors are on site during the paving operations to insure that the asphalt meets the specifications and the intended use.
