The asphalt paving process typically involves the following steps:
Surveying: Our team will conduct a thorough site survey to gather the necessary information for a successful paving project as needed.
Milling (optional): If the existing pavement is in poor condition, our team may recommend milling the surface to remove a portion of the existing asphalt. Milling depths can range from 1/4 inch to 4 inches, depending on the condition of the existing pavement and the desired outcome.
Excavating: We will then prepare the site by removing any existing pavement and excavating the surface to ensure a stable base for the new pavement.
Base Aggregate: If not milling, the next step is to lay down a layer of base aggregate, which provides a solid foundation for the new pavement. The base aggregate is then compacted using a vibratory roller to ensure a stable and durable base. A typical size roller used for highways is a double drum vibratory roller with a weight of approximately 8 to 10 tons.
Binder Course: The binder course is a layer of asphalt that serves as a transition between the base aggregate and the top paving layer. The typical thickness for the binder course is 1.5 to 2 inches. The binder course is compacted using a vibratory roller to ensure proper bonding and stability.
Top Paving Layer: The final step is to lay down the top paving layer, which is the visible surface of the asphalt pavement. Our team uses state-of-the-art equipment to ensure a smooth, even surface with a high-quality finish. The typical thickness for the final top course is 2 to 3 inches. The top paving layer is compacted and rolled to ensure proper compaction and a smooth, even surface.
Proper Pitch: To ensure proper drainage and longevity of the pavement, it is important that the surface is installed with the proper pitch, or slope. This can be achieved through proper excavation and compaction during the installation process.
In summary, our asphalt paving process can include the option for milling and resurfacing, or laying down the base aggregate and compacting it, laying down the binder course and compacting it, and laying down the top paving layer and compacting and rolling it to ensure a stable, durable, and aesthetically pleasing final product, with proper pitch for proper drainage and longevity.
Durability: Asphalt is a highly durable material that can withstand heavy traffic and extreme weather conditions, making it an ideal choice for highways and roadways.
