Christ the King Luthern Church
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The existing pavement at Christ the King Lutheran Church located in Delafield, WI had reached the end of its service life. The parking lot had 118 total stalls, 3 handicap stalls, and covered 6,377 square yards. The pavement at this project was approximately 40 years old with a 30+ year old site lighting system.
The goal of this pavement reconstruction project was to add parking with an emphasis on American Disabilities Act (ADA) and improve traffic flow while minimizing the cost for storm water management (SWM). R/M upgraded the lot with a new asphalt parking lot, concrete sidewalks, concrete curb, gutter, PaveDrain porous pavers, and a concrete dumpster pad. Christ the King now has 122 total stalls, 8 handicap stalls, and now only covers 6,190 square yards. After installing PaveDrain permeable pavers we were able to minimize the size of the rain garden.
This design included use of a geosynthetic to separate the sub grade from the crushed aggregate base course which is critical for extending the life of a low volume pavement. No water drainage will go off-site because of the new design.
