What breaks down on busy commercial paving
Spalls over rusting steel
The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) explains that rust takes up two to four times the volume of the steel it replaces, which cracks off the concrete cover. Chlorides are a more common cause of that corrosion than carbonation, and it starts once the concrete's pH at the steel falls below 9.
Cracks
NRMCA says most random cracks that appear early are unsightly but rarely affect structural integrity or service life. Where a crack is expected to keep moving slightly, TxDOT's Concrete Repair Manual routs a V-shaped groove about 3/8 inch deep along it and seals it to keep water out. Epoxy injection, according to ACI 224.1R, can restore structural integrity in cracks 0.002 inch wide or wider, but may not suit cracks from rusting rebar or cracks that will keep moving.
Surface damage or full-depth damage
The American Concrete Pavement Association limits partial-depth repair to spalls in the upper one-third to one-half of the slab that don't expose steel. When damage approaches or passes half the thickness, a full-depth repair goes in instead, and a crack that runs through the whole slab can't be fixed with a partial-depth patch.
- Saw-cut edge no deeper than the cover over the steel (ACI)
- Level change over ½ in. must be ramped (2010 ADA Standards)
- Partial depth only in the upper ⅓ to ½ of the slab (ACPA)
- Concrete removed about ¾ in. around corroded bars (ACI)

(945) 441-5958Trip edges, ramps and accessible routes
Hotel entrances, restaurant patios and office walks carry customers every day, and a lifted slab edge is measured against federal limits. Under the 2010 ADA Standards, a change in level up to 1/4 inch may be vertical, a change between 1/4 and 1/2 inch must be beveled no steeper than 1:2, and anything over 1/2 inch has to be ramped. Floor and ground surfaces must also be stable, firm and slip resistant.
Along an accessible route, the running slope can be no steeper than 1:20 and the cross slope no steeper than 1:48, with a clear width of at least 36 inches. Ramp runs may be no steeper than 1:12 and rise no more than 30 inches per run, so replacing a section at a door or curb ramp is set out against those numbers first.

(945) 441-5958The Town's code for commercial flatwork and parking
Addison adopted a new Unified Development Code on March 25, 2025, effective September 1, 2025, replacing rules largely written in the 1980s. On commercial jobs the Town splits inspections: Engineering inspects drive approaches, fire lanes and sidewalks in the right-of-way, while Building Safety inspects sidewalks, patios, drives and parking areas on private property.
Flatwork minimums
The Town's Commercial Construction Packet (2024 Codes) sets private-property flatwork at least 3.5 inches deep, with No. 3 rebar at 18 inches on center each way. It requires expansion joints every 20 feet with 1/2-inch dowels at 18 inches on center, unless an engineer specifies otherwise.
Parking areas
Every vehicle parking area has to be paved with concrete, asphalt, brick pavers or another approved material, and spaces on non-residential lots must be striped or otherwise marked. Driving lanes and parking aisles must be curbed unless another design handles stormwater adequately, and water draining off a lot may not flow across a sidewalk. New lots with 10 or more spaces must use permeable pavement on at least 25% of the non-fire-lane area, or another approved stormwater treatment.
Approaches
New driveway aprons onto a street must be concrete, and enlarging or modifying an existing driveway requires a concrete apron built to the Public Works and Engineering Department's standards.

(945) 441-5958An airport town built on restaurants and offices
Addison incorporated on June 15, 1953, to avoid annexation by Dallas, and was renamed the Town of Addison in 1982. The Handbook of Texas credits a property-tax rate one-sixth that of Dallas with drawing businesses, and records restaurants growing from 49 to 118, and hotels from five to nine, between 1986 and 1991.
Addison Airport has served business aviation since 1957, and the Town says more than 550 aircraft are based there. In 1961 a group including Trammell Crow opened a 73-acre industrial park beside the main runway. The oldest landmark on Belt Line Road is the 1914 Addison School Building, now home to the Magic Time Machine restaurant, and Addison Kaboom Town! draws more than 500,000 people every July 3.
Most homes here are rented. Census Bureau survey estimates put owner-occupied homes at about 18% of the total and single-family detached houses at about 13% of housing units, and the Town's economic development office counts 9,100 multifamily units, so apartment paving belongs in the same conversation as office and retail lots.

(945) 441-5958Replacement, leveling and other related work
Some damage calls for more than a patch. We also replace parking lot sections, level slabs that have settled, resurface worn but sound concrete, and build curb and gutter and apartment concrete.

(945) 441-5958How a spall repair is done
General practice from the American Concrete Institute's field guide for spall repair on horizontal surfaces (RAP Bulletin 7), which covers structural slabs, exterior slabs on ground, balconies and interior floors.
Sound and mark
The concrete is sounded to find hollow areas, and simple repair shapes are marked around them.
Saw-cut and remove
Edges are saw-cut no deeper than the concrete cover over the steel. ACI calls for 15- or 30-pound jackhammers, since heavier ones can damage the bars, and removal about 3/4 inch around any corroded bar.
Check the steel
If corroded bars have lost cross-section, ACI says a structural engineer should be consulted before the repair goes further.
Clean the surface
The prepared area is cleaned with high-pressure water at 3,000 psi or more, or by abrasive blasting.
Place, cure and test
Ready-mix repairs are cured under wet burlap and plastic for at least 7 days, and a pull-off test checks the bond; ACI recommends a target above 150 psi.
Repairs in the heat
NRMCA lists wind over 5 mph, low humidity and high air or concrete temperatures as the conditions that raise the risk of plastic shrinkage cracks, when the surface dries before the concrete sets. Normal daily highs at DFW Airport reach 95.8°F in August (1991-2020 normals), so summer patches get extra attention to evaporation.

(945) 441-5958Permits and registration questions
Do I need a permit to repair commercial concrete in Addison?
The Town's pages don't spell out a permit for repairing an existing commercial lot, as distinct from new construction. They do list residential permits for installing or replacing a driveway approach, installing a circular drive, building a pool or spa, and building a retaining wall over four feet tall from the bottom of the footing. For commercial repairs, ask at the Addison Service Center, 16801 Westgrove Drive (972-450-2880), where building permits and inspections are handled, before work is scheduled.
Does a contractor have to register with the Town of Addison?
Yes, for permitted work, unless the homeowner pulls the permit. Right-of-way permits have been applied for online since January 1, 2022, and the contractor must complete utility contractor registration first.
