This is the work national paving pamphlets do not mention. West Odessa and unincorporated Ector County are full of yards that were paved like a dentist’s office and then asked to host tandem dumps and hot-shot trailers.
We spec thickness and base for the axle, put concrete in the abuse panels when asphalt would only dish, and crown the pad so brine and stormwater leave. You are the inspector out here. We still give you compaction records.
Lease-road approaches, laydown yards, and Kermit Highway shops are a specialty because the failure mode is always the same: too thin, too hot, too much turning.
