The Ideal Choice for Distribution Centers

Colorado Springs, Colorado is a recent location for an Amazon distribution center. Considered the largest building in Colorado and the largest of its kind in the country, the distribution center boasts a total of 4M Square Feet. Asphalt was chosen as the pavement type to meet the demands of the high-volume parking lot project.  Amazon chose asphalt as the pavement of choice due to speed of construction, sustainability, and cost. The project team was given lofty expectations to meet the fast-paced construction goals. The quick speed of construction offered by asphalt allowed 2,000 tons of asphalt to be placed each day, and 1,804 parking spaces constructed for Amazon associates. In total, 130,000 tons of asphalt were placed at Amazon’s Colorado Springs campus.

Porous Asphalt Pavement Demonstration

In 2013, the City of Burnsville replaced a 12,000-square-foot section of parking lot with porous asphalt. This surface is similar to standard asphalt, except that the smaller sand particles are left out to create voids in the pavement. This allows rainwater and storm melt to run THROUGH the surface into the ground, rather than running into storm drains.
