Covering about 330 acres, La Frontera combines over a million square feet of retail space, office buildings offering hundreds of thousands of square feet of space, a major hotel, and three multifamily complexes. The retail center, La Frontera Village Reconstruction, was part of the first phase of development, so its parking lot dates to around 1998. This parking lot is in an area that is notorious for bad subgrade that consists of clay. Clay expands and frequently contracts, causing the pavement to settle, crack, and develop low spots in which water pooled. The condition of the parking lot was so bad that they had a tripping incident that resulted in an injury. Sansone Group, the property management firm representing La Frontera Village, contracted Carney Engineering to come up with the remediation plan and ECS Texas to handle the geological testing and design recommendations. Sansone Group contracted Alpha Paving and our subcontractor, Champion Site Prep, to complete this five-phase project to improve the parking lot.
