Southend Asphalt: Paving East Texas Communities
Our experienced paving contractors have several methods for installing parking lots and driveways for Texas property owners: installation on new constructions and resurfacing an existing paved area. Whether restoring aging residential pavement or installing a fresh parking lot for a new commercial development, our team can pave the way to your dreams.
New Construction Asphalt Installation Process
- Demolition and Removal – We begin by clearing the construction area of any debris, rocks, or existing structures to create a clean slate for the new pavement.
- Grading and Sloping – Utilizing advanced equipment, our team grades the surface to ensure proper water drainage, which is crucial for preventing future damage like potholes and cracks.
- Sub-Base Preparation – The sub-base is the foundational layer that provides stability. We carefully prepare this layer to support the new pavement and act as a frost barrier, enhancing the longevity of the asphalt.
- Proof Rolling and Sub-Base Repair – We perform a proof roll by driving a heavy truck over the sub-base to detect any soft areas. If found, we undertake necessary repairs to ensure a solid foundation.
- Binder and Surface Course Application – A binder layer, composed of large aggregate mixed with oil, is applied to add strength. This is followed by the surface course, a finer layer that provides a smooth and durable finish.
- Final Inspection and Quality Assurance – After paving, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure the pavement meets our high standards and is ready for use.
Asphalt Resurfacing: Installation Over Existing Pavement
When existing pavement shows signs of wear but remains structurally sound, resurfacing is an effective solution. Our resurfacing process involves:
- Assessment and Preparation – We evaluate the current pavement condition to determine its suitability. Necessary repairs, such as filling cracks and patching potholes, are performed to create a stable base.
- Milling (If Necessary) – In cases where the surface is uneven or has significant damage, we may remove the top layer through milling to ensure a uniform surface for the new layer.
- Cleaning and Tack Coating – The pavement is thoroughly cleaned to remove debris. A tack coat is then applied to promote adhesion between the existing surface and the new layer.
- Overlay Application – We apply a new layer, ranging from 1.5 to 3 inches in thickness, depending on the projected use.
- Compaction and Finishing – The new layer is compacted using rollers to achieve the desired density and smoothness. Finally, pavement markings are applied.
By adhering to these meticulous resurfacing installation processes, Southend Asphalt ensures that all kinds of construction projects result in high-quality paved surfaces that stand the test of time.
