Technical Description
The technical execution in Tracy focused on integrating underground electrical infrastructure with high-performance paving. We performed deep excavation and trenching to house high-voltage cabling and the structural foundations for the chargers. The process included site preparation through mechanical leveling and soil compaction to support the weight of the charging units and constant vehicular traffic. We applied Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) following California compaction standards, ensuring a seamless transition between the existing pavement and the new charging zones. This approach guarantees the surface withstands static loads from vehicles during rapid charging cycles.
Challenges and Solutions
Lack of Technological Infrastructure:
he original site was an obsolete parking lot with no charging capacity. We solved this through strategic excavation planning that allowed for the installation of Tesla Supercharger components without compromising the integrity of the rest of the lot.
Heavy Equipment Stability:
Charging stations require solid bases to prevent settlement. Our solution involved implementing reinforced sub-base compaction and precision leveling prior to the new asphalt application.
Commercial Flow Disruption:
Working in an active shopping center requires efficient logistics. We coordinated the trenching and paving phases to maintain customer accessibility while transforming the space into a state-of-the-art facility.
Benefits Obtained
Modernizing the commercial asset generates an immediate impact on the property’s value and utility.
Infrastructure Modernization
We have transformed a conventional parking space into a state-of-the-art technological service station. The rapid charging capacity positions the property as a logistical landmark in the Tracy region.
Enhanced Customer Experience
The integration of Tesla Superchargers attracts a high-value visitor profile. This increases dwell time and the flow of electric vehicle users to the establishments within the La Plaza shopping center.
Sustainability and Appreciation
By integrating clean energy solutions, the property not only meets California’s sustainability trends but also increases its market value through infrastructure prepared for the future of electric mobility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do you have any questions? Find the answers here!
Asphalt paving for EV stations requires deep excavation for electrical conduits and reinforced compaction to support static vehicle loads during charging.
We Love Paving ensures all Tracy projects meet California’s Title 24 accessibility and electrical safety codes, providing a stable HMA surface that prevents cracking near charging pedestals.
The cost depends on the extent of trenching, the number of Tesla Superchargers, and the total square footage of new asphalt needed for the stalls.
In Tracy, we provide detailed technical assessments to optimize excavation routes, reducing costs while ensuring the new pavement meets commercial durability standards for active shopping centers.
Proper sub-base compaction prevents soil settlement, which could damage high-voltage electrical lines or cause the charging units to tilt over time.
Our Tracy team uses heavy-duty vibratory rollers to achieve maximum density, creating a rock-solid foundation for both the asphalt top layer and the heavy charging equipment.
The paving phase usually takes 1 to 3 days, following the completion of electrical trenching and inspections by local Tracy authorities.
We Love Paving coordinates closely with electrical contractors to ensure the asphalt is poured immediately after conduit backfilling, minimizing the time charging stalls are out of service.
Yes, all new asphalt installations, including those for EV infrastructure, are covered by our 2-Year Full Warranty under The Panda Pledge.
This guarantee protects Tracy property owners against structural failures, ensuring the parking lot remains a high-value asset for years after the charging stations are activated.
Yes, we can perform targeted trenching and localized paving (patching or trench capping) to install chargers without a full lot overhaul.
However, in Tracy, we recommend assessing the surrounding pavement’s condition to ensure the new “Green” stalls match the property’s aesthetic and structural standards.
