Paving solutions that BEST fits your needs.

• Asphalt overlay – The existing surface is cleaned and a tack-coat is applied for adhesiveness. Depending on grade, a 1.5”-2” pave is installed and compacted to specification. (Solution for: minor cracking, uneven surfaces).

• Asphalt mill and overlay – The existing surfaces is milled off (removed) to allow for a smooth, solid base for the new pave installation. Tack-coat is applied to milled surface for adhesive and a new asphalt pave is installed and compacted to specification. (Solution for: Oxidized (dry) asphalt, potholes and major cracking ares, uneven surface or inadequate drainage) .

• Full depth replacement – All existing asphalt material is removed to full depth. Sub-base materials are exposed and inspected for failure. Spot corrections are made and new base material is installed and compacted to support new asphalt pave. Specified asphalt design is installed in two lifts; first the base course then the wear course. (Solution for: minor sub-base heaving, rutting and cupping of asphalt wear course, complete failure of wear and base course, high water tables, clay or sub-base materials exposed on wear surface).

• Reclamation/Soil stabilization - The asphalt top wear course is removed and asphalt base course is reclaimed (recycled) into the sub-base materials to a depth of 8”-12”. If required, a soil stabilization is completed to create a strong reenforced sub-base to ensure a long lasting support structure for the new asphalt surface. Once sub-base is completed the asphalt base and wear course are installed for the complete reconstruction. (Solution for: Large-scale sub-base failure, high water tables, inadequate sub-soils).
