Asphalt paving involves the process of applying asphalt material to roadways, parking lots, driveways, or other surfaces to create a durable and smooth path for vehicles and pedestrians. Here’s an overview of the process:
Site Preparation
The area is cleared of debris, existing pavement is removed if necessary, and the surface is prepared to ensure proper drainage and a solid foundation.
Grading
The ground is leveled and graded to ensure proper water drainage.
Sub-base Installation
A sub-base layer of aggregate is laid to provide stability and support to the asphalt surface.
Asphalt Installation
Hot mix asphalt, a combination of aggregates, binder, and filler, is applied and compacted to form the pavement.
Compaction
The asphalt is compacted using rollers to make it smooth and dense, enhancing durability and performance.
Curing
The asphalt needs time to cure and harden before it’s ready for traffic.
Asphalt paving is popular for its cost-effectiveness, durability, and recyclability, making it a preferred choice for many paving projects. Contact us today and find out how quick and affordable it is to have Bridge City Concrete and Asphalt install your new asphalt surfaces.
