Western Hills Asphalt Reclamation | T-PRO® Parking Lot
Project Overview
Lithic Industries successfully reclaimed and stabilized a decades-old asphalt parking lot at Western Hills Church of Christ using T-PRO® polymer soil stabilization. The project transformed the worn parking area into a durable, dust-free surface capable of handling several hundred cars per week by reclaiming the existing asphalt in place.
Project Objectives
The primary goal was to rehabilitate the rear parking lot with a cost-effective solution that avoided the expense, disruption, and long downtime of full asphalt removal and replacement. The church needed a long-lasting, low-maintenance surface that performed well under regular vehicle traffic.
The Challenge
The existing parking lot was heavily worn and required rehabilitation. The project was executed during extremely cold weather (low temperatures in the mid-20s°F and daytime highs only in the 40s°F). While cold temperatures do not reduce the final compressive strength of T-PRO®, they significantly slow the curing process, requiring an extended infusion cure time. Mechanical sweeping was also needed before the final seal coat, extending the total project timeline to two weeks.
The Polymer Soil Stabilization Solution
Lithic Industries applied a targeted T-PRO® polymer soil stabilization approach using in-situ reclamation. The existing asphalt was milled, infused with T-PRO® at the optimal concentration, graded, compacted, and finished with a topical polymer seal coat. This in-place method allowed the church to achieve a high-quality parking surface without hauling off old material or importing large volumes of new aggregate.
Proven Results
The T-PRO® treatment delivered excellent long-term performance:
- Successfully reclaimed and stabilized the existing parking lot using on-site materials
- Delivered a smooth, durable, and dust-free surface for hundreds of weekly vehicles
- Completed the project safely and effectively despite challenging cold weather
- Provided significant cost savings compared to full asphalt removal and replacement
- The church was highly satisfied with the final result and long-term performance
Application Details
- Equipment Used: Road Reclaimer/Milling Machine, Grader, Compactor, Water Truck
- Application Method: In-place asphalt reclamation with T-PRO® infusion + topical seal coat
- Maintenance: Periodic topical re-application of T-PRO® seal coat as needed (typically annually)
Maintenance Requirements
Maintenance is simple and cost-effective:
- Remove any loose surface material as needed
- Apply a light topical re-coat of T-PRO® periodically to maintain peak performance
Why Churches, Schools, and Commercial Properties Choose T-PRO® for Parking Lot Reclamation
This project demonstrates how modern polymer soil stabilization provides a fast, budget-friendly, and environmentally responsible alternative to traditional paving methods — even in less-than-ideal weather conditions. It is an ideal solution for churches, schools, commercial properties, HOAs, and any organization looking for durable, low-maintenance parking surfaces using in-situ reclamation.
T-PRO® is a proven, carbon-neutral polymer soil stabilization technology backed by Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) validation. It consistently delivers strong, long-term results using in-situ materials while reducing material hauling and construction costs.
