The modern world relies heavily on pavement for roads, driveways, sidewalks, and parking lots. With extensive use, maintaining and renewing paved surfaces becomes essential. If you’re looking for a cost-effective way to restore your pavement, consider asphalt milling.
For property owners in North Carolina, Regional Asphalt Services provides exceptional asphalt repair on Charlotte, NC, area roads, driveways, parking lots, and more. Our expert paving contractors ensure your pavement is ready for an overlay or other repair options, keeping it in top condition.
What Asphalt Milling Can Do for YOUR Pavement
Milling is ideal for paved areas with a structurally sound base but showing surface-level damage such as minor cracks, pockmarks, or stains. It is not suitable for pavement with extensive base damage or large-scale cracking. An assessment by our professional asphalt contractors will determine if milling is the right option for your situation.
Our Asphalt Milling Process
- Inspection: Before starting, we inspect your pavement to determine if this is the right repair service for your property.
- Site Preparation: Our team prepares the site by clearing debris and ensuring a uniform surface. Adjustments to drainage and slope may be made to correct previous issues.
- Milling: Depending on the project requirements, we use a planing machine to grind and remove the top layer, typically ranging from half an inch to six inches deep.
- Cleaning: After the process is complete, we inspect the area and remove any debris.
- Tack Coat Application: A tack coat creates a sticky surface for resurfacing, enhancing adhesion.
- Recycling: The removed material, called millings, can be used in various ways and is an eco-friendly construction material.
After Milling?
Property owners may ask, what now? After their services, but there are options:
- Overlay: A new overlay provides a fresh, smooth surface layer and extends the pavement’s life.
- Base Layer for Other Pavement: The milled surface can serve as a stable base layer for other types of pavement, such as concrete or interlocking pavers.
- Backfilling: Use the milled material to fill low spots, level surfaces, or support other construction projects.
- Reclamation: Reuse the milled material by processing it into new asphalt, reducing waste and promoting sustainability.
