Our experienced team will properly install the wheel stops in your parking space. Concrete bike stops are the way to go; The type of rubber may work a little, but concrete lasts longer. They are also harder to fly, affordable, and more durable. There are generally two types of wheel stops we install – concrete and plastic. Here in Dallas, Texas, wheel stops are typically 72 inches long enough for a vehicle`s front and rear wheels to touch the wheel stop. C&D provides wheel stop installation services throughout the DFW area and beyond. We have been installing wheel stops since 1981. Cooperative parking plan. Two (2) or more uses may share the same off-street parking areas, and each use may be considered such individually shared use.
However, such shared parking shall not be deemed to be provided individually, unless the operating plans for all such uses are such that none of the uses shared by the installations simultaneously requires off-street parking. This off-street parking sharing arrangement is known as a cooperative parking plan. Co-op parking must be within six hundred (600) feet of the property, which requires additional parking space for all uses permitted in Table 526-3b “Parking in Non-residential Districts”. This maximum distance is measured between the property line and the entrance to the shared parking lot. This shared parking space must meet the requirements for a non-commercial parking space listed in paragraph 35-526(f). Some Do`s and Don`ts for Dallas-Fort Worth Concrete Wheel Stop Installation Standards: The benefits of concrete wheel stops/parking blocks are the most economical and common. They are attached to the parking lot with reinforcing steel or epoxy resin. They can also be painted on request for aesthetic or functional reasons. We can install these wheel stops on concrete or asphalt as well as parking lots or parking garages. The main disadvantage of concrete wheel stops is their durability.
Over time, they can pierce the middle of car tires, which they constantly bump. Concrete wheel stops are sometimes painted as part of a parking lane project. When concrete stops are painted, they often need to be repainted to look good. If you only want to buy wheel stops, you can do so through our sister company Southwest Scaffolding. The wheel stops we sell are made of hexagonal concrete. They are 72 inches long, contain two sticks or reversing bars and weigh 200 lbs each. Epoxy resin is the most cost-effective way to install wheel stops in a parking garage because it uses tension cables. These cables give the suspended concrete its strength and must be located and marked with special equipment before holes are made in the concrete. The cost of locating cables makes it much more expensive to anchor wheel stops in a parking garage. Wheel stops (also known as parking barriers) are an important element in every parking lot. They are designed to touch a vehicle`s tires to prevent it from pulling too far forward in a parking lot. Wheel stops are often used to protect panels, walls, curbs or even other cars.
They are also used to prevent the front of a vehicle from blocking a sidewalk, leaving plenty of space for pedestrian traffic and wheelchairs. Rebar steel is used to install wheel stops on paved parking. Since asphalt is actually an extremely viscous liquid, we can secure wheel stops in an asphalt parking lot by hammering rebar through the wheel stop in the asphalt. Table 526-3 specifies the minimum number of parking spaces required, the maximum number of parking spaces allowed, and the minimum number of bicycle parking spaces required for the specified uses Applicants are entitled to a reduction in the minimum parking requirements in Table 526-3 in accordance with subsection 35-523(f)(2) of this Chapter in order to meet the minimum tree conservation requirements. Ownership, management, parking fees, restrictions, maintenance, permitted uses and fees are made by registered deed and are obligations that run with the ownership of the property to which they apply. The registered equipment shall also indicate that the bundled parking may not be converted to another use until it has been replaced by a fully constructed parking facility complying with the requirements of this Chapter or until the serviced buildings have constructed and completed the required off-street parking spaces and any property on which there is an obligation to park on the site: is fully or partially filled by bundled parking spaces. must have allocated/reserved on-site and group parking areas equal to the number of on-site parking spaces required in this chapter. Plastic wheel stops are more expensive than concrete wheel bearings, but their advantage is that they are more beautiful and durable.
Plastic wheel bearings are supplied pre-dyed by the manufacturer. They are made with a dye that completely colors the plastic so that the paint does not wear out over time and they do not wear out as much as their concrete counterparts. We usually install these wheel stops with concrete, reinforcing steel or epoxy resin anchors. You can also buy wheel stops made of recycled plastic, these are useful if you manage a building with LEED certification. Right: Barco Products plastic wheel stop. Bicycle parking. Bicycle parking spaces must represent at least ten (10) percent of the minimum number of parking spaces required for a given use, but not more than twenty-four (24) spaces required. Bicycle parking spaces can be short-term or long-term and must not obstruct public sidewalks, bus stops and/or building entrances and exits.
If you only want to buy wheel stops, you`ve come to the right place. We sell wheel stops through our sister company Southwest Scaffolding, which supplies building materials and scaffolding in the DFW area and throughout the United States. When installing wheel stops in parking garages, you need to think about how you want to attach them to concrete. They can be fixed either by anchoring, reinforcing steel or epoxy resin. Anchoring them will ensure that they don`t move over time. Once installed, they are effectively permanent. Installing wheel stops with epoxy resin is effective, but over time they come off and need to be reattached. Minimum requirements. The minimum requirements for off-street parking in all zones except downtown “D” are set out in table 526-3. The classification of uses listed in the table is general and is intended to cover all similar uses. If no classification of uses is established from the table, the Director, Planning and Development Services, after consultation with the Director, Planning and Development Services, shall determine the classification.
Provided, however, that these minimum requirements may be reduced in accordance with the provisions of subsection 35-523(f)(2).
