ASPHALT MILLING

Every paving situation is unique because intended use, placement of the paved area and drainage issues can all play a role in decision making. We take all of these into consideration when we plan a customized asphalt solution for your project.

Let’s review the milling, stabilization and pulverizing steps in the asphalting process.

THE MILLING PROCESS

Asphalt milling is the process in which existing asphalt is removed to a specified and even depth to allow new asphalt to be laid down without increasing the height of the road. Because the underlying subbase goes undisturbed existing structures such as curbs and drainage ditches go unaltered. Milling can provide you with a new asphalt surface without the time constraints and the high cost of full reconstruction.

Benefits of Asphalt Milling

Saves money and time
Cheaper than total paving reconstruction
Minimally disruptive
Recycles existing pavement
Drainage and other underground structures are left undisturbed
Can be done as a preventative measure

Both economic and environmental benefits come from asphalt milling. Asphalt milling costs less than the removal of the entire asphalt surface, which can be several times thicker than a typical milled area. Because the entire section of pavement is not removed, a smaller amount needs to be re-paved, which results in further cost-savings because of the reduction of material that is necessary to re-pave the area. The milled asphalt can also be recycled and reused again at a later time.

Asphalt milling very economical way to prepare an aged pavement for a new layer of pavement that is no higher than the original pavement, which is very valuable if there are drainage concerns such as existing structures, landscape, or pavements that are not being worked on. It also allows for the correction of an aged pavement’s drainage prior to surfacing, which fixes an existing drainage problem during the course of construction.

Asphalt Milling Vs. Pulverization Vs. Stabilization

While asphalt milling is the process of removing old asphalt to a certain depth and reusing it, pulverization is aimed to repave the driveway, or parking lot entirely. It uses a huge machine to rip off the asphalt top layer, then crushes it into pieces small enough to be mixed with a stabilizer and new aggregate. Stabilization is done after pulverization when a mix of binding agents, tar, and waterproofing agents are added to milled asphalt to bind the pulverized asphalt together and reform a new asphalt pavement. Then the pavement is left for 24 to 28 hours to settle.

Asphalt milling is an excellent paving choice if you need to repair your driveway, and parking lot that’s not fully deteriorated. It can also be done as a preventative measure to avoid potholes and alligator cracks from forming.

Outcomes of Asphalt Milling

With asphalt milling, the underlying base is not disturbed, making it a proven cost-effective method to prepare an aged pavement area for a new asphalt layer, or resurfacing. Major cracking of underlying existing pavement can reflect through to the new surface over time, but if the pavement itself is structurally sound, these cracks are cosmetic and won’t affect the pavements longevity
