Asphalt Milling

What is Asphalt Milling & why you need to consider it

Asphalt milling is a cost-effective option for restoring asphalt pavements and is frequently used as a substitute for complete demolition and repaving.

Grinding up an asphalt surface (anything from a couple of inches to a full-depth removal) to generate a smooth and even surface for repaving is part of the process.

Despite the fact that asphalt pavement is one of the oldest urban development methods still in use, asphalt milling is a relatively new procedure to the industry, having just been introduced in the mid-1970s. As the equipment has improved, it has become a viable technique for paving contractors to provide economical and long-term pavement restorations to businesses and communities.

The advantages of asphalt milling for commercial and municipal pavements will be discussed in this article.

Affordable pavement restoration

Asphalt milling is best for pavements with extensive surface damage, such as cracking, raveling, or an uneven slope. There's no need for a full demolition and repaving because the under foundation is still intact. Instead, using a milling machine, the problematic layers can be removed and replaced with new hot-mix.

Milling can also help with a variety of other concerns.

Pavement height & drainage

An overlay is another option for restoring a pavement's surface. Because the overlay is a new layer placed to existing asphalt, it raises the height of the pavement each time it is done. Consider it similar to repainting your home's walls. You'll need to chip the old paint off first if you do it enough times.

After multiple overlays on a pavement structure, you won't be able to increase height to the surface without causing other problems. Asphalt milling allows you to rebuild your pavement while keeping the same height as before.

Environmentally friendly

Asphalt is collected and delivered to a recycling facility, where it is used as aggregate in new hot-mix asphalt. Asphalt has become one of the most recycled materials in the United States as a result of this procedure.

Milling can address specific problem areas

If you have considerable damage to your parking lot or other asphalt structure that is limited to certain places, asphalt milling allows you to repair that damage without having to resurface the entire area.

Asphalt milling can be used to remove the asphalt to a suitable depth and replace it at the same level as the remainder of the road.
