Walmart Distribution Center – Topeka, KS
A.G. Peltz Group placed 173,500 SY (57,883 cubic yards) of pavement for a new Walmart Distribution Center in Topeka, KS, in 2020/21. The 12″ RCC was placed on top of a 6″ Soil Cement Base layer. A.G. Peltz Group paved over 1,000 cubic yards per day, six days per week, using two high-density pavers in tandem (6″ lifts) at paving widths of 20-25 feet. Joints were sawn every 12.5′ and sealed with a silicone sealant. The entire project received a trowel finish per Walmart’s request.
One of the unique challenges of this project was the accelerated schedule. Due to Walmart’s need for uninterrupted building access for deliveries, A.G. Peltz Group was asked to pave several lanes during November and December in Topeka, KS, often in inclement weather. With nighttime and morning temperatures frequently below freezing, A.G. Peltz Group utilized thermal blankets on aggregate stockpiles, the soil cement subbase, and finished RCC pavement. In addition, paving windows were greatly reduced due to low ambient temperatures. Despite these challenges, A.G. Peltz Group delivered a quality project, meeting the required paving schedule.
Whiting-Turner was the General Contractor on the project. Supplier partners included NR Hamm for aggregate and Central Plains Cement. This project was recognized by the ACPA for paving excellence as the Gold Award winner in 2022.
