Deerbrook is a brand-new, 87-unit, housing subdivision located in central Macomb Township. The Deerbrook subdivision stands out for its strategic layout and meticulous planning. The project aimed to optimize paving output by implementing a specific layout, calculating each section to be done with the least number of passes for the paving machine, and streamlining the construction process.
The foundation of any successful paving project lies in the choice of materials. In the case of the Deerbrook subdivision, the project utilized a combination of concrete pavement with integral curb at varying thicknesses to meet the specific requirements of different sections:
7" Concrete Pavement with Integral Curb: 12,251 square yards
8" Concrete Pavement with Integral Curb: 4,919 square yards
9" Concrete Pavement with Integral Curb for 23-Mile Approach: 124 square yards
These specifications were carefully selected to ensure durability and longevity, considering the varying traffic loads and conditions within the subdivision.
The layout strategy not only enhanced efficiency but also contributed to a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing finish. By carefully planning the paving process, the project managers were able to achieve a high-quality result while minimizing disruptions to the community.
