What does a curb and gutter have to get right in Riverside?
A curb and gutter passes when the flow line holds a continuous fall to the inlet, the line and grade match the survey, and the joints align with the pavement so it drains and takes the load. In Riverside the load and the water are both at the top of the scale. We built the new-construction concrete for the Amazon facility here, so we know the demand.
The Horizons and Riverside 69 logistics parks run constant Class 8 truck traffic, a growing entertainment district is going in near the river, and the I-635 and MO-9 interchanges shove pavement under heavy turning.
Heavy-load curb on saturated ground
At a Horizons truck court the curb-and-gutter has to do two hard things at once: take Class 8 axle load at a barrier curb and drain a large impervious lot to the inlet while its base sits over ground that stays wet behind the levee. We build the base to carry the load on saturated soil and size the flow line to the runoff, the kind of heavy-duty work our general-contractor jobs are scoped around.
The new entertainment district near the amphitheater and the riverfront gets the same care up front, so its curb drains right before the crowds arrive.
River bottom behind the levee, slipform, and winter
Riverside sits on Missouri River bottom alluvium with a high water table held behind the levee; per MoDNR mapping this is river-bottom ground saturated from beneath. A base here can undercut or pump under load if it isn't drained, so we compact and drain it and hold the flow line to a steady fall. We run slipform curb on the long industrial runs and place air-entrained 4,000-PSI concrete with joints saw-cut to the pavement, against the freeze-thaw the NOAA record shows for the river bottom and the winter salt off I-635.
We build the same curb and gutter across the river corridor — in Platte City, Weston, and Kansas City, KS. Ford rates 4.9 stars across 29 Google reviews for concrete flatwork across the KC metro.
