Industrial Roadway Expansion for a Logistics Hub

Client: Major Distribution Center
Location: Memphis, TN
Scope: New roadway construction and heavy-duty asphalt paving for 1.2 miles of industrial access road.

Challenge:
The distribution center needed a wider, stronger access road to handle heavy truckloads without constant maintenance issues. Their current gravel road created dust hazards, slowed vehicle turnaround times, and damaged fleet tires.

Solution:
We engineered a high-load-bearing asphalt mix specifically designed for heavy commercial traffic. The team constructed a reinforced base, laid multiple asphalt layers for added strength, and designed the layout to reduce sharp turns, optimizing truck maneuverability.

Results:

• Reduced truck loading/unloading delays by 22%.
• Increased operational efficiency with smoother logistics flow.
• Maintenance requirements dropped by over 60% compared to the gravel road.
