ASPHALT

H

ighways, streets and parking lots, no matter how well constructed, will deteriorate over time. As time passes, and the design life of pavement reaches the end of its cycle, the rate of deterioration accelerates. Proper pavement maintenance will significantly lengthen the life of asphalt, but eventually rehabilitation and/or reconstruction may be necessary. Often more than one technique can be used to solve the specific pavement problem. Whichever technique is chosen, it should be based on a thorough analysis of the pavement’s proposed application, cost, and benefits. Alliance Paving has the experience to determine pavement failures through a thorough survey of the asphalt area. We will then provide the client with a written proposal based on priority listing of maintenance, rehabilitation, or reconstruction that may be required for the pavement area. Some of the most common asphalt services that we provide include the following:

 

Asphalt Removal and Replacement
Complete or partial areas are removed to a depth of 4” and then compacted. Many asphalt removal and replacement areas exhibit alligator cracking, an interconnected series of cracks forming small blocks resembling an alligators back or chicken wire.

Asphalt Cold Milling
This processes allows for the removal of a section of asphalt paving, from 2-6”, and loading the material via conveyor to a off haul truck. The millings can then be used as recycled asphalt product as long as there is no existence of pavement fabric. After the area has been swept clean a layer of asphalt may then be applied to maintain surface height. This technique is effective large areas of shoving or corrugation. Shoving is also known as pavement bulging whereas corrugation is known as wash boarding or rippling of the pavement section.

Asphalt Overlays with Inter-layer Fabrics
Paving Fabric Inter-layer are engineered geotextile fabrics placed between layers of asphalt concrete. Overlays with inter-layer fabrics have had an outstanding record of improving pavement performance while reducing maintenance and life-cycle costs. Paving Fabric Inter-layer Systems extend the life of new AC pavements and AC overlays. When placed between layers of AC pavement, these systems becomes an integral part of the asphalt section, forming a barrier to water infiltration and absorbing stresses to reduce reflective and fatigue cracking of the new asphalt surface layer.

Asphalt Overlays
This could include one or more courses of asphalt on an existing pavement structure.

Surface Patching
Areas where small hairline cracks, minor surface distortion or raveling, a surface or “skin” patch is the most cost effective technique. A layer of hot-mix asphalt is placed and rolled over the distressed area and generally does not require removal of the pavement section.

Crack Repair
These problems are the separation of the pavement due to natural causes, traffic volume, or reflections from an underlying pavement. Cracks should be repaired to prevent intrusion of foreign materials into the sub grade and to prevent water intrusion into the underlying pavement layers.
