Visitor Parking Lot Temecula California | T-PRO®
Project Overview
Lithic Industries used T-PRO® polymer soil stabilization to construct a 1-acre visitor parking lot for a local winery in Temecula, California. The project delivered a smooth, dust-free, and durable parking surface as a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to traditional asphalt or concrete paving. The solution used existing on-site recycled materials while providing high strength, dust control, and reduced heat island effect near wine storage buildings.
Project Objectives
The primary goals were to provide an attractive, functional parking area for patrons that was budget-friendly, quick to install, and environmentally responsible. The project needed to deliver long-term performance while minimizing cost and construction time compared to conventional paving methods.
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 Polymer Soil Stabilization Solution
Lithic Industries applied a targeted T-PRO® polymer soil stabilization approach using the existing in-situ recycled aggregate. T-PRO® was infused into a 3-inch deep layer of the recycled material 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
The T-PRO® treatment delivered excellent project outcomes:
- 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
