Summer Asphalt Repair

Yesterday in Salt Lake County a main section of Interstate 15 buckled. Around 138000 South in Draper the HOV lane buckled due to the heat and old construction. The Utah Department of Transportation was on the scene to fix the problem. I-15 was reduced to two lanes while the repair is getting fixed. This caused a lot of traffic problems for people going South. It was repaired in several hours. The delays were probably the worse part.

The cause of this was the heat. When the temperatures hit near record highs it caused the concrete to expand. It is common for concrete to expand but it happened at such a rapid pace that it caused the road to buckle. No accidents were reported due to the buckling concrete. The concrete that was affected was the oldest concrete along I-15 in Utah. It hasn’t been replaced since it was originally poured nearly 50 years ago.

UDOT crews were able to go in and cut the bad concrete out. Then they are going to pour new concrete to replace the old worn concrete. If you have a business and see this happening give Eckles Paving a call right away. With their seal coating service you will be able to have a longer lasting surface. If you have very old concrete you will be more likely to have a problem with the temperatures fluctuating like they have.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

In 2016 - 2017 we have built 7 Quick Quack Car Washes along the Wasatch Front. We have had the need to do some asphalt work on the different sites. And each time the need has come up, we have called on Eckles Paving to get the job done. The job has always been completed to our high standards. I cannot say enough great things about this company. Very pleasant to deal with. I would refer them to anyone that ask.

To deal with a company that does what they say they will is a pleasure. What really astounded me in today's world was the quality and efficiency of their work crews, which happens as a prep/road base crew 1st and then an asphalt crew. Both crews ran like clockwork and you could watch how each man knew what to do and did it right. My job was done very well, and they cleaned up the road after. I would certainly recommend anyone to Eckles Paving anytime

My parking lot Super Hero's! Eckles paving was Fair, Fast and Friendly! never had so much fun replacing a parking lot! I'm being totally serious. Attention to detail, easy to work with and competitive in price set them apart. I shopped four other companies and I'm so happy I went with Eckles. Amazing experience! They had my 4,000+ sq. ft. parking lot demoed, regraded, paved and striped at Super Hero Speed!

Eckles paving has done work over the years for many State Agencies in Utah and has always been professional and conscientious. As the Engineer on some of these projects I have enjoyed working with them and have found that their new paving and paving maintenance work is done correctly and in accordance with the bid and our direction.

John K. – Engineer

I trust Eckles completely. They are honest and fair. If you’re getting quotes that are substantially different than theirs, do some research to find out why. There are a lot of shortcuts that vendors can take to shave money off, but for an asset that is this big, you need someone to be honest with you!
