GOOD CAR PARK DESIGN First impressions count! The car park is the first thing that people experience when arriving at a destination and also the last things they experience when leaving. A car park must have a good quality creative design that is attractive, convenient and comfortable for all users including people with restricted mobility like people with disabilities and parents with young children. Where required, a range of cladding options must be added to meet local planning requirements. Good Car Park Design should include the following attributes: •Easy entry and egress to the car park and the parking stall •Uncomplicated and logical traffic flow around the car park •Good turning radii for unimpeded movement of cars •Adequate lighting, bright and airy •Low-maintenance •Safe and secure •Landscaping to make car park visually more attractive •Convenient traffic/ pedestrian circulation It is always recommended that the engineer is aware of necessary regulations and consults with the local urban planning authorities for approvals before commencing the construction of the car park.

The most effective material for car park construction is concrete because it is strong and durable. However, usually, asphalt driveways is more suitable for small commercial car parks. Here are different car park surfacing materials Asphalt Positive Qualities: •Smooth even surface for all users including disabled users •Hard wearing •Bitumen driveways are easier to repair and resurface •Flexible and not slippery •Provides good gripping for sloping sites •Low-cost, low-maintenance and easy to clean and remove debris •Variety of colours and finishes •Resistant to weeds •Fewer cracks than on concrete Negative Qualities: Prone to cracking when laid in large areas, especially during rains and winters. CONCRETE Positive Qualities: •More durable and requires less maintenance than asphalt •100% recyclable •Concrete is light and naturally reflective which keeps the area around car park cooler •Allows brighter car parks, better lighting for better visibility for car parks that operate at night •Ideal for car parks in urban areas •Long life-span of 30 years as compared to 15 years for asphalt Negative Qualities •Expensive for large car parks Loose Gravel

Regarding project time, you must be aware that electrical and plumbing takes the same amount of time as the earthwork. Further, if you choose asphalt as the construction material, the curing time will be less than that for the concrete surface. If you are in Sydney and have a requirement to construct a commercial car park, hiring a civil engineering company in Sydney that has a reputation of delivering technical excellence and has worked across various projects can deliver it best.
