WPC installs concrete car stops and the concrete elements that work alongside an asphalt surface — aprons, pads and curb tie-ins — typically in conjunction with striping so the physical stops match the finished stall layout. Concrete is also the right answer at specific high-stress points such as dumpster pads and dock aprons, where asphalt will deform under concentrated load.
Placing a concrete pad where a dumpster truck sets its outriggers or where a trailer parks on its landing gear is usually less expensive than repairing the same asphalt failure every few years.

View Service AreaBecause the load is concentrated and repetitive. A collection truck sets outriggers and drags a heavy container across the same few square feet weekly, and asphalt deforms under that kind of point loading — particularly in warm weather. A concrete pad at the dumpster approach eliminates a failure that would otherwise recur indefinitely.
It depends on their condition. Stops that are cracked, spalled or broken from vehicle contact should be replaced; sound ones can typically be reset. Either way they are placed after striping so their position matches the finished layout rather than the old one.
Yes. Keeping the asphalt and the adjoining concrete elements in one scope avoids elevation mismatches and unclear responsibility at the transitions, which is where asphalt-and-concrete jobs most often go wrong.
Requirements vary by municipality and by the specific site plan, and accessible stalls in particular have their own layout considerations. Beyond code, stops are used for wheel control where a stall abuts a walkway, a building face or a landscape bed [WPC to confirm local code review scope].
