The Process of Asphalt Milling for Pavement Resurfacing
Asphalt milling is the removal of existing worn or damaged asphalt pavement. If you want to maintain or repair existing asphalt without spending time and money on a full excavation, removal, and installation, milling is the way to go.
We use an asphalt milling machine to remove a certain depth of the existing pavement’s surface and grind the top layer. This process produces a smoother and more even surface that’s ideal for asphalt resurfacing. Then, we overlay it, which involves filling the hollow space with new asphalt.
Benefits of Asphalt Milling & Resurfacing
Repairs can’t always correct your pavement problems. Sometimes, the existing pavement has sustained enough damage to require an entirely new pavement to replace it.
The severity of the damage is a key factor in choosing between a simple resurfacing and a total pavement and sub-grade reconstruction. Our team will perform a core test to assess the condition of the existing sub-grade.
- Maintain a Safe, Liability-Free Surface
- Improve Curb Appeal
- Increase Property Value
How Asphalt Reclamation Supports Cost-Effective Asphalt Resurfacing
Asphalt reclamation, also known as full-depth reclamation, creates a stronger base layer on which new asphalt can be poured. This method reduces operating costs by eliminating the need to excavate and haul away old asphalt.
We use specialized equipment to grind and blend the remaining pavement material, along with underlying soil and aggregates. This process creates a stronger foundation for the new asphalt layer.
Top Causes of Pavement Deterioration
Pavement can deteriorate for several reasons. Here are some of the most common ones we see:
- Improper pavement thickness
- Excess traffic weight load
- Insufficient water drainage
- Oil and gas spots
- Inadequate or total lack of maintenance
- Extreme climate changes
- Natural ground movement
