What is a GREEN PARKING LOT
and why do you need one NOW?
A green parking lot
is inspected annually by a qualified pavement specialist, who evaluates
it in three key areas: Comfort, Cost, and Conservation.
Comfort; a green parking lot is kind to your clients!
Is the pavement safe and comfortable for car and foot traffic?
Can your customers walk, drive and push shopping carts in your lot easily and safety? Is it ADA and code compliant?
Can ALL of your potential customers access your business in comfort and safely? Is it easy to keep clean?
Potholes and broken pavement are messy, impossible to sweep around, and invite dirt and debris
into your building.
Because a trip to your front door should be as pleasant as a walk in the park!
Cost; a green parking lot is kind to your bottom line!
Is your pavement friendly to your bottom line because you fix small problems before they become larger and more expensive?
Studies show that, over time, every dollar you spend on preventative maintenance can save you up to $10 in major repairs! Is it maintained so that you are protected from the high cost of a negligence judgment in a trip and fall claim?
If you think paving is expensive, just try being sued! Is it being cared for like the multi-million dollar asset that it is for many companies?
Most of us take better care of our cell phones than we do our pavement.
Get rid of that BLACK pavement that may be leaving you in the
RED;
go GREEN now!
Conservation; a green parking lot is kind to our environment!
Is your pavement friendly to the environment because your company sustainability policy includes regular preventative maintenance and repair of minor failures?
Asphalt is a petroleum-based product and must be used with care! Small repairs use less material to fix than larger ones. Is your pavement maintained so as to maximize the lifetime of the pavement?
When you have to completely remove and replace a parking lot, any asphalt that cannot be milled and recycled is considered a hazardous waste and requires special disposal! A well-maintained parking lot will give you many years of safe, clean service! Is your pavement ready to serve you for the long haul, or is it dying before your eyes?
Use it up, wear it out, Make it do, or do without!
We may not be able to ‘do without’ asphalt and concrete paving, but we certainly can ‘use it up’,
‘wear it out’ and ‘make it do’ by wisely and carefully taking care of it.
Let Obermiller Construction Services, Inc. help you create a parking lot that is an asset to your
company and our planet!
Once you’ve ‘paved paradise and put up a parking lot’, at least take good care of it –
Go lean, clean and green today!
