Asphalt milling allows you to maintain or repair existing asphalt on a budget. Plus it’s quicker than excavation, removal, and installation.
When a pavement is resurfaced, typically only the top layer of asphalt is replaced. This process is known as asphalt milling or cold milling. It involves the removal of the existing asphalt surface to a certain depth—usually a few inches—to get rid of any damage, deterioration, or irregularities in the top layer.
We prepare the area to be resurfaced, which can involve removing obstacles, cleaning the surface, and assessing the condition of the existing pavement.
We use asphalt milling machinery to remove the top layer of the existing asphalt. This asphalt milling process grinds the old, damaged asphalt, and the material is typically recycled for use in new asphalt.
After milling, we repair any damage or irregularities in the subgrade (the layer of material beneath the asphalt) to create a stable foundation for the new asphalt.
We apply a fresh layer of hot asphalt to the prepared subgrade. We compact this new layer to create a smooth, even surface.
We add any necessary finishing touches, like line striping and road markings, to the newly resurfaced pavement.
By resurfacing only the top layer, rather than completely reconstructing the road or pavement, this approach can be more cost-effective and less disruptive to traffic. It extends the life of the pavement and provides a smoother driving surface.
Full depth reclamation establishes a stronger foundational layer upon which fresh asphalt can be applied. This approach reduces operational expenses by eliminating the need for the excavation and removal of old asphalt.
We pulverize and combine the leftover material and any soil and aggregates underneath it to strengthen the foundation for a fresh layer.
