What Is Milling?
Milling replaces the top layer of old asphalt rather than replacing it completely. This is a quicker and more cost-effective method than fully excavating asphalt.
Milling & Reclamation
The Process
Preparation
We clear the area, polish the pavement, and evaluate the state of the current pavement.
Milling
To grind the asphalt material into a usable form, we employ specialized equipment to remove the top layer.
Surface Repair
We fix any subgrade damage to provide a solid base for the new asphalt layer.
Application
After adding the new asphalt, we will compact the pavement.
Finishing & Marking
We paint various road markings, including line striping.
What Is Reclamation?
Did you know that here in America we replace more than 400,000,000 tons of asphalt a year? You could literally make an equator belt for the Earth 6 times with that much pavement. So what happens to the pavement that was there? How can we responsibly take care of the planet while keeping our roadways and other pavement safe and usable for the millions of people who rely on them? Well, there are several systems and services in place to help accomplish this, and one of the most important of these services is Full-Depth Reclamation. With the advancement of modern equipment and techniques, we can utilize Full-Depth Reclamation to take old layers of asphalt down to nearly 2 feet, and recycle those layers in order to make a base asphalt layer that is stronger and more environmentally conscious.
The Process
Grind & Blend
We combine dirt and aggregates with the remaining asphalt material, which is ground and blended to reinforce the pavement’s base.
