Asphalt Milling & Reclamation

What Is Asphalt Milling?

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.

The Milling Process

We use a 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.

What Is Reclamation?

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.

The Reclamation Process

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.

Benefits of Asphalt Milling & Reclamation

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.
