CAI-IL Conference Recap

Published by Candace on February 8th, 2012

Last week, our Bridgeview-based team had the pleasure of exhibiting at CAI-IL’s 30th Annual Conference & Exposition, held at Arlington Park Racecourse in Arlington Heights, IL.  Since it was the 30thanniversary, the expo had a “Throwback to the Awesome 80’s” theme – and many exhibitors participated.  Our very own Tim Chimack, Julio Chinea, and Jim Benecke dressed as the Ghostbusters – complete with a theme song, custom marshmallows, and a marshmallow gun.  Needless to say, a lot of fun was had amidst conducting business.

Chimack and Chinea also gave an educational presentation on “Preventative Maintenance” on the first day of the conference.  They described many ways to preserve your asphalt and concrete surfaces to keep condo and townhome communities not only aesthetically pleasing, but safe for all residents.

CAI’s Conference & Exposition is the industry’s premier event for networking and prospecting.  There is no better place to network with community association managers and board member decision makers.  Rose Paving is proud to be a member of CAI-IL for many years.  We would also like to congratulate our Regional Account Executive, Julio Chinea, for recently being elected to the CAI-IL board of directors!

Infrared Asphalt Technology – Great for Winter Repairs

Published by Karen on January 11th, 2012

Infrared Equipment in use

Do you have defects on your parking lot?  Why wait for warmer temperatures; fix defects NOW using Infrared Asphalt Repair!  Infrared asphalt technology is an effective solution for critical repairs needed in the winter months as it can be performed year-round.  This unique method blends hot-mix asphalt with the original and then compacts the area to create a seamless restoration.  Infrared Asphalt Repair can be used to quickly and efficiently repair pothole damage on parking lots, pavement heaving, deterioration on/around catch basins, and rough surfaces in drive lanes/parking stalls.

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.

Infrared Asphalt Repair: Video

Published by Candace on June 22nd, 2011

Infrared asphalt technology is an effective solution for critical repairs to your asphalt surface. This unique method blends hot-mix asphalt right in with the original and then compacts the area to create a seamless restoration.   If you notice potholes — especially in high-traffic areas, pavement heaving or uneven surfaces surrounding catch basins (this is a common problem resulting after several freeze-thaw cycles), or rough surfaces in drive lanes or parking stalls, it is a good idea to consider infrared repair.

It’s Paving Season!

Published by Candace on June 15th, 2011

Despite some heavy rains lately in the Midwest, our Bridgeview-based team, crews, and equipment are hard at work!

Recently we held our annual safety training at our corporate headquarters in Bridgeview, IL to help kick-off the start of the paving season.  Here at Rose Paving, we utilize mandatory training days to indoctrinate and explain to team members the company philosophy on safety, the proper precautions required of every team member, and various potential hazards associated with particular jobs.

Safety Training

Safety Training

In 2010, Rose Paving teams logged over 30,000 man-hours without a lost-time accident.  We have also invested over 425 hours in safety training for team members in 2010, and continually strive for ways to make our teams safer.  From the use of infrared cameras with the crackseal team and safety vests for all Project Managers and Site Engineers, to a full-time Director of Operations who oversees the safety program, Rose Paving is committed to an accident-free and safe workplace for all employees.

Servicing Equipment

And who could forget?  All winter long, our mechanics and crews are checking and re-checking our trucks, trailers, tankers, and other various pieces of equipment housed at our Corporate Headquarters.  Everything is inspected so that our customers will get the best service possible.
