Asphalt is low maintenance and durable. Asphalt is the preferred paving material as it lasts longer and is competitively priced to install and maintain. ASPHALT NEW/INSTALLATION Asphalt pavement can comfortably last for 15 years. While installing new asphalt, there are a few things we consider before the project begins. ASPHALT INSTALLATION STEPS Creating an Appropriate Slope and Grade Preparing the surface for proper water drainage means creating a proper slope and grade. Automatic motor graders and laser-guided transits ensure moisture won’t negatively affect the newly installed asphalt. Installing a New Asphalt Layer Asphalt is laid for a clean, flat and beautiful pave. A potent blend of sand, oil, and aggregate makes up the Asphalt material. When freshly installed, the jet-black surface will feel smooth and look attractive. ASPHALT OVERLAY Asphalt Overlay is the process of revamping an old layer of paving with a new coat of asphalt. The restoration process involves four simple steps including 1. Surface Assessment The existing layer of asphalt is assessed to know whether it qualifies for an overlay. Not all surfaces qualify for overlay including: Surfaces with extensive damage such as ruts, huge potholes, or root damage. Surfaces that cannot properly drain water. 2. Asphalt Milling Asphalt milling involves removing the damaged layer of asphalt. Any section of the road that has cracks or potholes will need to be addressed to ensure the new overlay has a strong bonding to the base layer. 3. Base Repair In surfaces where the base has taken in potholes or cracks, repairs are required. In extreme instances, a new base will be installed. 4. Installing New Asphalt Overlay Once the existing surface has been prepared, the new asphalt overlay is paved. ASPHALT REPLACEMENT A small crack or pothole in your parking lot or road may not look like a severe issue but could become one in a few months or years. When these issues are not caught early enough, asphalt replacement will be required. The most common reasons for asphalt replacement include If the damage is too extensive If water cannot drain appropriately To prevent liability If repairing would be a short term solution If it makes more financial sense to replace rather than restore Before replacing your asphalt surface, it will need a proper examination. An expert will extensively assess your current installation to provide the best solution to your needs.
