Asphalt Milling: Video

Published by Candace on December 7th, 2011

In severe cases of asphalt failure, a long-term and cost-effective solution is to resurface the asphalt pavement (also referred to as overlay).  If you notice grade depressions (standing water on the pavement) and/or large sections of alligatored areas (interconnecting cracks forming a series of blocks resembling an alligator’s skin), it is a good idea to have your pavement resurfaced.  In areas requiring the resurface to tie into other existing surfaces (i.e., concrete, etc.), asphalt will be milled and replaced to allow proper depth and transitions.  An asphalt milling machine is used to remove an appropriate depth of pavement in a grinding process.  The spoils can then be hauled off and recycled.
