Construction of New Asphalt

New Construction is the building of new asphalt surfaces. First the jobsite is excavated and/or graded to achieve the desired elevations and proper drainage. Next, an aggregate base course is placed and compacted. Finally, the asphalt is placed and compacted. Let one of our trained staff members assist you in determining what specifications of aggregate and asphalt will meet your needs.
Resurface
Resurfacing or overlay is done to fix deterioration of asphalt from lack of maintenance, constant use or expiration of life expectancy. Typically, 1 ½” -2” of surface asphalt is applied for an overlay. A geotextile fabric can be used in conjunction with an overlay to help diminish reflective cracking and lengthen the life of the overlay. Let one of our trained staff members assist you in determining what specifications of aggregate and asphalt will meet your needs.
Patchwork
Patchwork is done when the asphalt/subgrade has failed in smaller portions of the pavement and the remainder of the surface is in otherwise good repair. Typically, the patch is Sawcut for straight edges, excavated enough to achieve an appropriate subgrade and then filled back in with aggregate base and asphalt. If the deficiencies are just within the confines of the surface asphalt, a process known as Infra-red can be used to fix the asphalt. Let one of our trained staff members assist you in determining what patchwork specifications will meet your needs.
Excavation
Excavation can be useful in several situations. Prior to an overlay, it can be used to remove the areas to be fixed, often severely deteriorated asphalt. It can also be used for a complete removal of asphalt prior to new construction. Or just simply to dig out a new area to receive an addition to an existing surface. Let one of our trained staff members assist you in determining if excavation is needed for your jobsite.
Seal Coating
Sealcoating is designed to protect the asphalt from the effects of the environment such as moisture and UV oxidation. It also protects the asphalt from gas/oil leaking from vehicles. Two coats of sealer are recommended for most jobs. It is also recommended to Sealcoat the asphalt every 2-4 years based on traffic patterns and overall condition of the asphalt. Let one of our trained staff assist you in determining your sealcoating needs.
Line Stripe
Linestriping is the final stage of any asphalt/Sealcoat process. Clearly marked stalls, Handicapped spaces, directional arrows, and numeral markings make an efficient traffic flow. Typical pavement markings are yellow or white. Glass beads can be added to the paint for reflective qualities if necessary. Let one of our trained staff assist you in maximizing your linestriping potential.
