Asphalt Milling & Removal
What is Asphalt Milling?
Asphalt milling, also known as cold planing, is a process that removes the top layer of an asphalt surface without disturbing the underlying base. This method is commonly used to repair damaged pavement, correct surface irregularities, and prepare for a new asphalt overlay. By removing only the necessary layers, milling extends the lifespan of a roadway while keeping costs low.
Why Choose Asphalt Milling?
Cost-Effective: Milling allows for partial pavement removal, reducing the need for full-depth reconstruction.
Eco-Friendly: Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is often recycled and reused in new asphalt mixtures.
Improved Surface Quality: Creates a smooth and even base for repaving, preventing future structural issues.
Elevation Control: Ensures proper drainage and prevents curbs and utility covers from being buried under new asphalt layers.
How the Process Works
Assessment & Planning – Our team evaluates the project site, determining the required depth of milling.
Milling Operation – A specialized milling machine grinds the asphalt surface to a precise depth.
Material Collection – The removed asphalt is collected and transported for recycling or reuse.
Surface Preparation – The milled area is cleaned and inspected before resurfacing begins.
