Case Study: Polymer-Stabilized Visitor Parking Lot – Southern California Winery
Project Overview Lithic Industries used T-PRO® to construct a 1-acre visitor parking lot for a local winery in Southern California. This project delivered a smooth, dust-free, and durable parking surface as a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to traditional asphalt or concrete paving.
Project Objectives The winery needed an attractive, functional parking area for patrons that was budget-friendly, quick to install, and environmentally responsible. The solution had to use existing on-site recycled materials while providing high strength, dust control, and reduced heat island effect near wine storage buildings.
The Challenge Standard asphalt and concrete options were expensive, time-consuming, and created excessive reflective heat that increased cooling costs for adjacent buildings. The project required a fast, low-cost solution using previously imported ¾” minus recycled concrete and aggregate base material.
The Lithic Solution T-PRO® was infused into a 3-inch deep layer of the recycled aggregate at a 0.75% polymer concentration, followed by a light topical seal coat. The entire parking lot was constructed in just two days — one day to process the existing material and one day to build the finished surface. The lot was ready for parking striping within 48 hours.
Proven Results
- Completed a full 1-acre parking lot in only 2 days
- Created a smooth, durable, dust-free surface using recycled materials
- Delivered significant cost savings compared to asphalt or concrete
- Reduced reflective heat on nearby buildings, lowering summer cooling energy consumption
- Provided a green, sustainable paving solution with excellent long-term performance
