Concrete Parking Lots in Gardner, KS

Gardner sits next door to the intermodal — the New Century AirCenter and the Logistics Park KC freight moving through Edgerton put loaded trucks onto 175th Street, US-56 (Main St), and the Gardner Commerce Park approaches all day. Where those trucks turn and brake, a thin or under-jointed slab moves: the surface shoves into ridges at the turns and ruts in the wheelpaths. A lot poured to a retail count fails fast under that shear.

We set the pavement thickness design from the ESAL a site will actually carry, split it into light vs heavy-duty zones so the truck approaches and drive lanes are built heavier than the car stalls, and lay the slab out as jointed concrete pavement so the panels stay put under braking. It is the same approach we bring to freight-heavy Olathe and fast-growing De Soto lots down the corridor.

Concrete cracks; the work is controlling where. We saw-cut the joints on a planned grid sized to the slab, and at the loaded truck approaches we set dowel bars and tie bars so the panels share the load and stay level — the load transfer that keeps a freight-fed lot from faulting into a lip. Every cut is sealed against water and winter salt.

Johnson County’s 34-inch frost depth and freeze-thaw winters mean the mix goes down at 4,000 PSI and air-entrained to resist scaling.
