When a long‑time client referred us to handle their large parking lot in Union City, we knew the stakes were high. At APCO Paving Co., we pride ourselves on delivering not just asphalt, but uninterrupted operations.
Smooth Collaboration
We were brought in through a referral, which meant the client already trusted our team. They needed a solution for an existing baserock lot that had become worn and wasn’t supporting their delivery truck traffic efficiently.
The primary challenge: how to re‑grade the baserock and install a new asphalt surface without disrupting the flow of delivery trucks and the business’s day‑to‑day operations.
Tackling the Challenge in Union City
Working in the East Bay, our commercial‑site experience guided our approach. Because the client operated daily “truck‑in/truck‑out” logistics, closing the lot or shutting down traffic for long periods simply wasn’t an option.
Here’s how we handled it:
- First, we re‑graded the existing baserock surface to ensure correct slopes and drainage, readying the lot for heavy‑truck usage.
- Next, we coordinated our schedule to allow trucks to continue turning and moving during the paving process, using phasing and temporary lane setups to maintain traffic flow.
- Then we installed the new asphalt surface on the prepared base, timed and managed so that the delivery operations never lost momentum.
The result: a fresh, uniform asphalt parking lot that supports heavy truck traffic, with none of the disruption the client feared.
Outcome & Client Response
The client gave us high marks for how we handled the job:
“We were very satisfied how you did not disrupt our business during the project.”
That feedback summed up our goal: deliver quality paving without interrupting business continuity. Because we kept their delivery operations moving, the client maintained productivity while we improved the lot’s function and durability.
