Cold Milling
What is Cold Milling?
Cold milling, also known as cold planing, is a pavement removal technique that grinds off the top layer of asphalt without using heat. This process allows for precise depth control while maintaining the integrity of the underlying layers, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for resurfacing projects.
Advantages of Cold Milling
Cost Savings: Removes only the necessary layers, reducing material costs and waste.
Eco-Friendly: Milled asphalt can be recycled and reused in new pavement mixtures.
Precise Surface Control: Adjustable depth settings allow for targeted pavement removal.
Traffic-Friendly: Can be performed with minimal disruptions to surrounding traffic.
How Cold Milling Works
Project Assessment – Our team evaluates the pavement to determine the required milling depth.
Cold Milling Execution – Specialized milling machines grind the asphalt surface without generating excess heat.
Material Collection & Recycling – Removed asphalt is collected and transported for reuse.
Final Surface Preparation – The milled area is cleaned and prepared for a new overlay or further pavement treatments.
When is Cold Milling Used?
To remove worn or damaged asphalt before resurfacing
To maintain proper elevation and drainage control
To improve road smoothness and driving comfort
To recycle old asphalt and reduce project costs
