When it came time to repair the 12-year-old asphalt parking lot and material staging area at the nation’s largest insulating concrete forms (ICF) company, a concrete overlay was the solution, reports NRMCA Senior National Resource Director Jon Hansen. LiteForm Technologies, located in South Sioux City, NE, placed concrete on top of the existing asphalt and everyone is thrilled with the results.

"The old asphalt was so uneven, we had to drive our forklifts very slow when loading pallets of material outside for fear of them tipping and dumping the load. Now on the new concrete it is so smooth we are can speed up our loading process," said Chris Stamm of LiteForm.  "And the lighting, what a difference," added his colleague Dave Hall. "We did not change our lot lighting, but the customer parking area is now so much brighter in addition to the materials area where we are often loading material in early morning or late evening darkness."
