5 Reasons Why Your Business or Municipality Should Repair Potholes In Spring

 Spring in Wisconsin means longer days, blooming bulbs, baseball...and potholes. Potholes are caused by the same science that makes a can of soda explode in your freezer - the expansion and contraction of water. Ground water gets under the pavement, expands when frozen, and contracts when it melts. The expansion bends and weakens the asphalt, and the contraction leaves gaps behind where the pavement can collapse and create a hole. This is why potholes multiply in spring as the ground thaws. 

If you require the expertise of a commercial pothole repair contractor or a municipal pothole repair contractor, our team of pothole repair contractors at Wolf Paving have the information you need to know about asphalt pothole repair.

Here are our top 5 reasons why your business or municipality should repair potholes in spring:

1. Pothole Repairs Prevent Further Damage: One pothole can do a lot of damage to your entire driveway or parking lot. Here are three things to consider:
   • Water is the root cause of potholes.
   • Existing potholes let more water get in under the sub-surface of your pavement.
   • Repairing a potholes now will prevent the formation of larger potholes and more substantial asphalt pavement damage. 
2. Pothole Repair Now Will Reduce Long-Term Repair Costs: It can be tempting to ignore a couple of small potholes, but those small savings will have a big cost in the long run for your business or municipality. Remember, one pothole can lead to another.
   • Unrepaired potholes can grow and multiply with ongoing traffic and use, resulting in an even more expensive residential or municipal paving project. 
   • The small cost of preventative maintenance today will provide you with big savings in the future. 
3. Pothole Repair will Improve Curb Appeal: Many business and municipalities want to make improvements to property in the spring, as more people get outside.
   • What kind of first impression is your business or municipality making on visitors? 
   • Pothole repair and affordable options like sealcoating can help you keep your property looking great.  
4. Improved Safety: Potholes are more than just ugly, they can also be dangerous, causing damage to vehicles and potential trip and fall accidents for pedestrians. Keep your customers happy and protect your business by making sure that your commercial paving projects are in good condition.
   
   
5. Hot Mix Asphalt Can Be Used: Hot-mix asphalt is a durable type of asphalt that is great for large, long-lasting projects, like pothole repair. In the extreme climates of the Milwaukee, Sun Prairie and Waukesha, hot mix asphalt is the solution your business or municipality needs to properly repair potholes this spring. Wolf Paving offers custom mix hot-mix asphalt specifically designed for the Wisconsin climate. 

If you are interested in purchasing hot-mix asphalt for your pothole repair needs, please contact Wolf Paving today.

Quick Fixes for Cracks in Your Driveway

Concrete is used the world over because of its strength, durability and good looks, but even it sometimes needs repair.

One area where small problems can sometimes occur is on driveways. Concrete driveways take a ton of abuse from heat and cold to sand and salt, not to mention the in and out of traffic of cars. Over time this traffic and changing weather conditions can cause small cracks to appear, but luckily they are something most homeowners can repair themselves. If caught early, these cracks can be easily and economically fixed with a few simple steps.

First remove any loose particles with either a screwdriver or a chisel. Follow over the cracked area with a wire brush or a chisel to get rid of anything that may have gotten left behind. You’ll also need to buy a small supply of concrete patching compound or masonry crack filler – something easily found at any major hardware store.

The easiest solution is to put the masonry crack filler into a caulking gun and apply it to the cleaned crack in the driveway, using a putty knife to smooth out any access. After the compound cures, spread a sealer over the patched area to prevent the crack from growing larger.

This repair can be done with any crack found on your driveway and can stop them from growing larger, which could lead to larger problems and repairs that require an expert to fix.

If you do find yourself in need of hand or face a project that is out of your scope of knowledge, contact Bergen Mobile Concrete. Serving Bergen County since 1990, Bergen Mobile Concrete provides dependable service regardless of the size of the delivery. We can deliver short or large orders, using metered trucks that can save you money by allowing you to pay only for the concrete that is used. Let our team bring you the supplies you need for your concrete-related projects – both large and small. Call us today at 201-797-7550 to learn more or to schedule a delivery.

London’s first timber skyscraper plan put to Mayor

London’s first timber skyscraper came a step closer to reality this week after researchers presented Mayor of London Boris Johnson with conceptual plans for an 80-storey building.

Researchers from Cambridge University have teamed up with engineers and architects to work up plans for a 300m high wooden building integrated within the Barbican.

At present, the world’s tallest timber building is a 14-storey apartment block in Bergen, Norway.

The proposal presented to the Mayor by Cambridge University working with PLP Architecture and engineers Smith and Wallwork pushes the boundaries to envisage a structure that could be the second tallest building in London after The Shard.

Simon Smith of Smith and Wallwork engineers said: “Timber is our only renewable construction material and in its modern engineered form it can work alongside steel and concrete to extend and regenerate our cities. It is only a matter of time until the first timber skyscraper is built”.

Dr Michael Ramage, Director of Cambridge’s Centre for Natural Material Innovation, said: “We’ve designed the architecture and engineering and demonstrated it will stand, but this is at a scale no one has attempted to build before.

“We are developing a new understanding of primary challenges in structure and construction. There is a lot of work ahead, but we are confident of meeting all the challenges before us.”

 The biggest concern for a timber frame building of such scale is fire, but the team said the proposed building would eventually meet or exceed every existing fire regulation currently in place for steel and concrete buildings.

The research team point to potential benefits, such as reduced costs and improved construction timescales and significant reduction in the overall weight of buildings.

The conceptual proposals currently being developed would create over 1,000 new residential units in a 1 million sq ft mixed-use tower and mid-rise terraces in central London, integrated within the Barbican.

Dr Ramage said: “The Barbican was designed in the middle of the last century to bring residential living into the city of London – and it was successful.

“We’ve put our proposals on the Barbican as a way to imagine what the future of construction could look like in the 21^st century.”

UK’s most considerate constructors get ready for 2016 National Site Awards

UK’s most considerate constructors get ready for 2016 National Site Awards

The Considerate Constructors Scheme – the national Scheme to improve the image of the construction industry – will be hosting the prestigious 2016 National Site Awards at ceremonies throughout the UK this month (April).

The Scheme will be rewarding the top-performing registered sites that have demonstrated the highest level of considerate construction towards the public, the workforce and the environment.

This year’s National Site Awards apply to registered sites that completed in 2015.

Over 3500 guests from construction sites of all different sizes will be attending award ceremonies during 11-29 April in Edinburgh, London and Manchester.

For the first time, ‘value bands’ are being introduced to enable sites to be assessed based on their project value. The value bands are: Less than £500k; £500k to <£5m; £5m to <£10m; £10m and over.

Out of thousands of registered sites, over 900 have been selected to win Bronze, Silver or Gold Awards. One Gold Award winner per value band will also be given the prestigious title of ‘Most Considerate Site 2016’, with all shortlisted sites for this accolade receiving Runner-up Awards.

Chairman of the Considerate Constructors Scheme Mike Petter commented: “The Considerate Constructors Scheme is privileged to be honouring top performing sites at the upcoming 2016 National Site Awards.

“Award-winning sites have demonstrated exceptionally high levels of best practice in meeting and exceeding the Scheme’s Code of Considerate Practice. This year is the largest-ever awards to date – a true testament to the outstanding achievements being made by Scheme registered sites across the UK”.

A host of leading industry figures presenting at each award ceremony include Chris Blythe, Chief Executive, the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB); James Wates, Chairman, Construction Industry Training Board (CITB); John Slaughter, Director of External Affairs, Home Builders Federation (HBF); Paul Everall, Chief Executive, Local Authority Building Control (LABC); Bill Hill, Chief Executive, Lighthouse Club; Simon Carr, National Chair, National Federation of Builders (NFB); Willie Watt, President, the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland and Peter Simpson, Director of Partnerships, Which? Trusted Trader.

In 2015 Berkeley Homes’ Roman House project was awarded the prestigious title of Most Considerate Site. This residential development in the Barbican area of the City of London went far over and above standard requirements to demonstrate exceptional levels of best practice across all areas of the Scheme’s Code.

Go to Twitter @CCScheme #ccsawards for the latest news from the awards ceremonies which are taking place between 11-29 April.

Advantages of Asphalt Paving Over Concrete Driveways

The majority of commercial and residential driveways are finished with one of the two most cost-effective materials on the market: asphalt or concrete. If you're paving a new driveway or refinishing an existing one and you're wondering about the relative benefits of these common options, asphalt has many benefits beyond its price — which is typically 30 to 40 percent less than concrete.

Asphalt Offers Both Installation Speed and Fast Usability

An asphalt driveway can usually be laid in one or two days, depending on the size of the project. Concrete, on the other hand, typically takes twice as long to lay and even longer to set. Depending on the season, asphalt driveways can be ready for use in as little as two days after completion, whereas concrete can take up to a week to cure.

Asphalt Offers Driveway Durability

Unlike concrete, asphalt is not subject to surface flaking caused by poor installation, incorrect preparations of the mixture and the application of salts to melt ice and snow. Known as ‘spalling,’ this surface flaking is an ongoing problem with many concrete driveways, especially those that were hastily installed. Given its flexibility, asphalt is also considerably less likely than pavement to crack over time.

Asphalt Pavement Offers Lower Maintenance Costs

If your asphalt driveway does start to show some lineal cracking, you can repair these easily and inexpensively. The crack sealant products you need are widely available through home improvement retailers, don't cost very much and can easily be applied on your own, even if you have absolutely no previous paving expertise.

In addition, regular preventative maintenance, like crack filling, sealcoating, sweeping and general upkeep, can extend the lifespan of your asphalt driveway to 20 years or more. Concrete is more difficult to maintain, because it cannot be heated and repaired with the same ease as asphalt pavement.

Asphalt Pavement Offers Additional Benefits

An additional benefit of asphalt is that its black color helps draw and retain more of the sun's heat. In the winter, this means that snow will melt faster on an asphalt driveway than it will on a concrete driveway. Not only does improve safety in residential settings and at commercial business properties, this makes property maintenance easier for everyone!

With Asphalt Paving, It’s Easy to Request A Free Estimate

40 YEARS FOR WATSON BATTY ARCHITECTS

Watson Batty Architects is celebrating a major milestone as it turns 40 this year.  The Leeds established practice welcomes the anniversary with a string of new business successes and new recruitment drive to increase its teams in Leeds and Loughborough.

Last year Watson Batty unveiled a new brand image as it announced impressive plans for business growth and targets to almost double its current £4 million turnover over five years.  It is currently on track to achieve that with a continued average growth of 20% in recent years.

Peter White, Managing Director at Watson Batty Architects said, “We are thrilled to celebrate 40 years in practice.  Over this time, we have delivered many projects to be proud of and established long term client relationships, over 20 years in some cases for the likes of Wm Morrison Supermarkets and Royal Mail, which is testament to our versatility and ability to engage new practices.

Indeed, during its 40 years Watson Batty has created over 1 million sq ft of retail space across 19 stores for Wm Morrison Supermarkets, delivered 3.2 million sq ft in mail centres for Royal Mail, designed 4,000 new homes and supported 20,000 new school places in the UK.

White continues, “With our roots firmly established in the North we are in a fantastic position to leverage the Northern Powerhouse movement and we are in fact engaging with some very significant urban planning projects.  However, our growing office in Loughborough has expanded our existing networks in the South, giving us extended national coverage and the ability to leverage our professional services by sector rather than geography.

“With a team of 50 people we continue to invest heavily in developing our expertise and technological capabilities. To support our growth plans we will pursue more widespread sector expertise covering commercial, industrial, distribution, education, leisure, residential, retail and transport.”

Watson Batty Architects is a future focused business offering architectural, interior design and master planning solutions for all sectors.  It is credited for a number of major public and private sector projects including schools, universities, leisure centres, distribution facilities, residential developments and transport hubs.

It is currently working on a number of significant projects across a varied range of sectors including a dining room and student’s union extension at York St John University, delivery offices for Royal Mail at Nine Elms and Portsmouth, leisure centres for local authorities at Newark and Washington and has recently been successful in supporting Wates Living Space Homes on Calderdale Council’s North Halifax Transformation Project.

Watson Batty has recently invested in using the latest Autodesk Revit software and BIM technology to facilitate 3D modelling, and improved design team collaboration in order to meet the public sector procurement targets for project delivery in 2016.

Caramel Cream Patio Paving & Natural Turf Project

44m2 Of Marshall’s Caramel Cream Patio Paving, Natural Turf & Raised Planters

This project was carried out in Washington, Tyne & Wear, we used Marshall’s Caramel Cream for the patio area which was 44m2. We love the Marshall’s Caramel Cream Patio Paving, the product comes in various sizes, when used together can certainly give more of a creative design to your patio area. In addition to the patio paving we laid a new turf and added raised planters to finish off the overall look.

Below you will see the photos of the project from start to finish.

As you will see from the bottom two photographs,  we used edging in two different colours and shaped the paving to complete the overall look and design. We built and shaped the planters to give the area more of a creative look and design.  The new turf finished off the project, giving the outdoor area a lush green lawn to complement the new patio area and planters.

At The Driveway Company we have a good eye for detail, we have worked in the Landscaping industry for many years and can help advise you on the right design to suit your individual requirements. If you would like to know more about our patio paving please visit our dedicated page.
