Value-Added Solutions for Parking Facilities |
|
|
| * |
|
Parking facilities - commonly found on commercial properties, and often the predominant feature of large developments. Depending on the location, these vast amounts of space may be left un-patrolled, un-guarded, and without any means of traffic control devices. Consequently, these areas become breeding grounds for dangerous driving behavior (see our March Newsletter issue).
Installing traffic control devices, such as speed bumps or parking curbs, are one |
 |
|
|
|
important way to combat the ongoing perils of today's lots. These solutions force drivers to travel at minimum speeds - increasing both driver and pedestrian safety. Traditionally, these products were produced from asphalt or concrete materials. People liked these solutions because they were durable, inexpensive, and served their purpose well. |

An Alternative Green Solution: Recycled Rubber Products |
|
|
| * |
|
Today; however, several alternatives for parking lot products are available. Traditional concrete or asphalt solutions are being replaced by more innovative, lighter designs made from rubber. Why? Contractors like the ease of installation, transportation, and minimal risk of injuries to their installers. Furthermore, property owners and managers find the differences in product features and benefits to be very appealing.

Not only do these solutions help reduce the dangers in parking facilities, they also add value to the property. These products:
- are not only highly visible to drivers and pedestrians, but also aesthetically pleasing to the eye
- promote environmentally-friendly solutions (they are green products!)
- minimize potential liability issues arising from:
- accidents that occur in parking facilities
- vehicle damage due to traditional concrete or asphalt solutions
