What Is Asphalt Milling?
Asphalt milling, also known as cold planing, is a process used to remove a layer of asphalt from a paved surface. This technique is commonly employed in road construction and maintenance to repair and restore damaged or worn-out asphalt. The process involves using specialized equipment called a milling machine, which grinds up the existing asphalt layer to a specified depth. The milled material is then collected and can be recycled for use in new asphalt mixes, making the process both efficient and environmentally friendly.
Asphalt milling serves several important purposes:
- Surface Preparation: It prepares the surface for new asphalt by removing the old, damaged layer, ensuring a smooth and even base for the new pavement.
- Profile Correction: It can correct the profile of the road, addressing issues like ruts, bumps, and uneven surfaces that can affect the safety and comfort of driving.
- Drainage Improvement: By adjusting the slope and grade of the road, milling can improve drainage, reducing the risk of water pooling and subsequent damage.
- Recycling: The milled asphalt can be recycled, reducing waste and conserving natural resources.
- Cost-Effective: Asphalt milling is often more cost-effective than complete removal and replacement of the pavement, making it a preferred method for road maintenance.
Why Choose Asphalt for Your Property?
Are you tired of stepping in a mud puddle after you exit your vehicle? If so, it may be time to get an asphalt surface installed on your property in Buffalo or Erie County, NY. Do you have roads or parking lots that have a few too many bumps and are overdue for some maintenance? If so, our asphalt products are what you need. Our asphalt products are:
• Well-suited to handle the climate in Buffalo and Erie County, NY
Asphalt surfaces can handle winter conditions better than concrete ones. Because asphalt can expand and contract, winter ice and snow do less damage. When snow and ice melt on a concrete surface, the water seeps into the concrete, refreezes and expands, and causes cracks that destroy the concrete. Asphalt surfaces are more pliable and can handle the frequent freeze thaw cycles in Erie County and Buffalo, NY.
• A cost-effective solution
Asphalt surfaces are cheaper to install and maintain than other options. If you need an outdoor surface that you can actually afford, our asphalt products are a great option.
• Quick to install
Installing an asphalt surface typically only takes one or two days. After the surface is installed, vehicles may drive on it after 24 hours have passed.
• An environmentally friendly pavement option
Asphalt products are more environmentally friendly than other options. Instead of being thrown in a landfill or the ocean, asphalt products can be recycled and reused repeatedly.
• An easy way to improve the appearance of your property
A dirt surface just ends up spreading everywhere and all across the grass. Softer ground gets dug up forming holes that muddy water will fill. A concrete surface forms unsightly cracks across your property. However, asphalt surfaces look nice and can be easily maintained for years to come.
