Asphalt is a sustainable mixture of bituminous oil, gravel, and sand. The mixture is heated and installed while still hot. Once compacted and allowed to cool and harden, the new properly installed asphalt is a durable and cost-effective surface for your parking lot needs.
However, asphalt parking lots require maintenance, and overtime repairs may be required. Not all pavement defects are the same and may need different approaches to be taken to correct the issue cost-effectively.
Asphalt sealcoating is the process of applying a liquid product over an existing asphalt pavement in a manner that seals the surface and fills small voids and cracks as protection against the elements. When left unsealed, sunlight, wind, and water will gradually cause asphalt to harden and oxidize, and as it becomes more brittle, cracking can occur
With many defects, you simply have to get down to the real source of the problem. Unlike the other types of asphalt repairs, our full-depth repair process tackles the underlying problems that can harm your asphalt pavement.
The full-depth repair process starts with a saw cutting the perimeter of the area to be repaired. Next, the pavement is fully removed to expose the sub-base. This can be done with traditional equipment or with the milling process. By exposing the sub-base, the material can now be properly re-compacted to support the new pavement, or can even be replaced if the sub-base material is inadequate.
While this process is more expensive, it is considered to be a long-term solution to most pavement defects. When done properly and with good pavement maintenance, this process can provide sound, cost-effective pavement that can last 15-20 years.
Remember, not all pavement defects are the same. While many defects are the results of sub-base issues, some defects begin from the top and work their way downward. When this is the case, the mill and resurface process is often used.
The mill and resurface uses special equipment to grind or mill away the defective surface layer of asphalt pavement. The asphalt debris or millings are removed and most often taken to the asphalt plant for recycling.
The area is then swept clean, adhesive oil is applied, and the surface layer is repaved. This process is not only used for repair but is also used for complete parking lot resurfacing.
