Factors To Consider When Designing A Parking Garage Construction

By Laura Gallagher


One of the most appealing parts of your house is the design in the parking garage construction. However, most people do not have a clue on how to go about with its designing and will have hard time to make their idea practical, attractive and well organized. The design will depend on a number of factors that includes its size, the vehicles you are expecting to park and other purpose that it may be used to meet. To come up with the right design a few consideration need be addressed.

Understanding the type of lot to build is important to consider. If the vehicles to be parked in the lot are earth moving, a bigger lot should be constructed to accommodate heavy loads. On the other hand, those vehicles that have light tonnage such as 4 wheeled motors should have design that is relatively smaller when compared with the heavy loads.

Prepare a general plan on how the parking garage will be designed. The maximum capacity of vehicles that will occupy the lot has to be determined and will also consider the ability to navigate as well as amount of time it takes. Safety measures need be addressed to ensure that the structure is free from hazardous materials. The measures include the emergency doors and other protruding materials.

You should optimize the whole space that is designated for the construction of the lot. This requires a good layout for the design so that the space shall be occupied from one corner to the other. Use of stalls or parallel designed lots while leaving a space to navigate ensures that the whole area has been occupied.

Traffic routes should be devised to ensure that the flow of vehicles inside the garage is well catered for. This is achieved by ensuring the dimensions as well as the angles are accurately designed. Ensure that there is no collision between exiting and entering vehicles and such does not happen when they circulate within the lot.

Marking is an important factor that needs to be adhered too. The markings need be clear to ensure that they are visible for the users to park the vehicles within the provided lots. All the signs should be simple to understand and placed at a visible point.

Come up with perfect drainage system as early as possible during the construction of the lot. The design should be in such a way that it will not clog materials and water. Drainage will be more necessary to take care of, if you are to use your home lot to wash the motor. Also, to make you lot stable and highly break up resistance when subjected to heavy loads, soil sub grade preparation is necessary.

Ensure that all procedures are followed and the right material is used to in the Parking Garage Construction. Although you can use concrete and permeable pavement, Asphalt is more recommended. This is because it is more compact and can hold heavy loads.
