Concrete Driveway Philaldelphia with trench drain

We installed this driveway with a trench drain at the front of the garage door. Our client had a lot of water penetration through the garage door.  We rectified this problem by installing a 72" wide trench drain in front of the garage door.   You will notice in the drain in the video is lower than the garage door and the concrete is pitched towards the drain.   We use 4000psi concrete in the concrete mix and steel mesh to prevent cracking.  We gave this concrete driveway a broom finish for maximum traction in the winter months.

Before

Water would accumulate under the concrete.  In the winter months the water expanded and cracked the concrete.  A trench drain with a stone driveway base is the remedy for this clients problems.

The drain is precisely leveled.

Concrete Driveway extension Philadelphia

We installed a concrete extension for this customer. They live in Manayunk and require additional rear parking. We created another parking space to accommodate an additional vehicle. We had to remove the fencing to achieve maximum width.

Concrete Driveway Philadelphia

   I am currently working on the driveway job shown below. The old driveway was severely settling. As a result, water was pooling at the center of the driveway, making it a nightmare in the winter to clear the snow. Also, the driveway was unsightly because of the several cracks.
   Unknown to me when I estimated the job, the concrete had wire mesh which added significant time for excavation.  It's difficult to determine if wire mesh is integrated into concrete by looking at the surface however, based upon the level of cracking and settlement on this concrete driveway, I assumed the previous concrete contractors ignored using steel reinforcement. Nonetheless, I will compact and lay reinforcement to this driveway. I plan to never hear a peep from this customer about cracking of his driveway.
    I am posting some video and pictures of our progress.  Final media will be posted once the project is complete. Stay tuned.
