The corners of the metro we cover
A single market on paper, and nothing like a single pavement problem from one end of it to the other.
What is wrong with a lot, and what putting it right will cost, is set by a handful of local variables: when the buildings around it went up, what drives across it now, how the ground beneath responds to moisture, how tight the working season runs at that elevation, and what the property is expected to do every day. A retail center from the 1970s sitting on clay that moves and a ten-year-old distribution site with a failed apron slab are unrelated projects that happen to be a few miles apart.
Each page below sets out what is particular about that part of the metro, and what it implies for pavement there.
Asphalt in Broomfield
Newer ground, newer buildings, and a maintenance conversation that is only now arriving for a lot of it.
Asphalt in Westminster
Older pavement, long maintenance backlogs, and lots that have been patched more often than they have been assessed.
Asphalt in Arvada
Older pavement on ground that moves, which is a harder combination than either one alone.
Asphalt in Thornton
A lot of newer commercial ground carrying more truck traffic than the pavement was designed around.
Asphalt in Boulder
Tight sites, high expectations and hard phasing — which makes how the work is sequenced matter more than the square-foot price.
Asphalt in Denver
The widest range of pavement conditions in the metro, from distribution yards to lots older than the buildings beside them.
Somewhere else along the Front Range? The forces involved do not change across the metro — water freezing in cracks, sun at elevation, ground that swells and shrinks, and a short calendar — so the conversation is worth having either way.
