Big lots, loading docks and truck traffic
Truck routes and the major highways through High Point, including I-74 and US-311, bring heavy vehicle traffic to nearby business parks. Loading areas receive diesel residue, hydraulic leaks and grease from trailers backing in. Left alone, that grime stains concrete permanently and makes surfaces slick.
Cleaning large paved areas requires surface cleaners, hot water or degreaser for oil, and a plan for capturing or directing runoff. Wash water should not be allowed to flow into storm drains without thought, since those drains lead to local streams. We discuss drainage with the property manager before the crew begins.
