Asphalt Coatings Company repairs asphalt with infrared heat in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Asphalt Coatings Company made infrared asphalt repairs at Academy Station on North Academy Boulevard. Asphalt Coatings Company restriped the Academy Station shopping center parking lot with yellow stall lines, ADA stalls and no-parking bars.

Infrared Repairs in the Stall Rows

Asphalt Coatings Company placed infrared repairs in several stall rows at Academy Station. The repairs show as smooth, dark rectangles set into the older, cracked surface.

Some sit beside a storm drain in the middle of the lot, and another runs along the end of a stall row in front of the shops. Areas near storm drains collect water, and the front row sees the most turning traffic, so both are common places for pavement to break down.

How Infrared Repair Works

Asphalt Coatings Company uses infrared asphalt repair to fix localized damage in commercial parking lots. Infrared equipment heats the existing asphalt until it softens. The crew then rakes the material level and compacts it with a roller, leaving a smooth repair that blends into the surrounding pavement. The approach targets the damaged areas without tearing out sound pavement around them.

Restriping the Whole Lot

Asphalt Coatings Company restriped Academy Station across the whole lot. Bright yellow lines mark out the stalls again, from the far rows to the storefronts. The new stall lines were painted around the infrared repairs.

What the New Striping Covers

• Stall lines: long rows of yellow stall lines stretch across the open lot toward the shops.
• ADA stall: near a fire hydrant, an ADA stall has a fresh blue accessible symbol and a hatched yellow access aisle.
• No-parking bars: solid yellow bars close off the ends of rows, including one beside a fenced service area.

Why Repair Before Restriping

Asphalt Coatings Company sequences infrared repair before striping. Repairing first means the new lines go onto a sound surface and do not need to be repainted after later patching. At Academy Station, the repairs and the new yellow layout together give shoppers a smoother, clearer lot.

Pavement Challenges in Colorado Springs

Asphalt Coatings Company designs repairs for Colorado Springs conditions. At 6,035 feet, the city sees intense UV exposure, repeated freeze-thaw cycles and clay-heavy soils. Water entering cracks and freezing breaks pavement apart from within, and UV fades striping. Targeted infrared repairs and fresh markings address both effects on a working retail lot.
