Hospital pavement and parking lots are high-traffic areas. With ambulances entering the property around the clock and thousands of patients, visitors, and medical professionals driving onto the property daily, a hospital’s asphalt can easily be damaged.
With increased traffic and use, asphalt can begin to degrade and wear out. Hospital parking lots and driveways are susceptible to many forms of damage, including cracks and degraded surfaces. These types of damage can lead to further problems, including potholes, uneven surfaces, and pavement collapses.
These are major problems on hospital and healthcare centre properties where accessibility is essential. Asphalt damage on a driveway can impede ambulances and emergency vehicles, while poorly maintained parking lots can impede access for patients. Regular asphalt maintenance is crucial for hospitals, particularly for avoiding liability and ensuring public safety. In the whole year, summer is the best time to sealcoat your asphalt pavement and can extend the life of the pavement.
