This process creates a consistent, level surface ready for a new asphalt overlay, effectively recycling the existing material and correcting issues like rutting, cracking, and unevenness. The result is a structurally sound foundation that significantly improves the performance and longevity of your new pavement.
Our approach to asphalt milling prioritizes efficiency and precision. We use specialized milling machines equipped with rotating drums to grind down the old asphalt to a predetermined depth. The removed material, known as RAP (Recycled Asphalt Pavement), is collected and often reused in other construction projects, making this an environmentally responsible choice. This method ensures a uniform grade and slope, critical for proper drainage and a smooth final surface.
For Arlington properties, where temperatures can fluctuate significantly, a stable base is crucial to prevent premature pavement failure. Milling addresses existing sub-base issues and provides a fresh, stable platform that resists the stresses of heat expansion and contraction, as well as heavy traffic. This proactive step prevents reflective cracking from old pavement imperfections, ensuring your investment lasts longer under local conditions.
Property owners often inquire about the disruption involved. Our milling operations are planned to minimize inconvenience, typically completing sections quickly to restore access. We manage all aspects, from initial site assessment and depth determination to the efficient removal and hauling away of milled material, leaving a clean, prepared surface ready for the next phase of paving.
Asphalt milling directly extends the lifespan of your pavement by addressing foundational issues before new asphalt is laid. In Arlington, where hot summers and occasional freezes can stress asphalt, removing damaged layers prevents existing cracks and ruts from reflecting through a new overlay. This means your new pavement will remain smoother and structurally sound for years longer, reducing the need for frequent repairs.
This process also ensures proper drainage, a critical factor given Arlington's periodic heavy rainfall. By establishing a consistent grade and slope during milling, we eliminate areas where water can pool, which leads to accelerated deterioration, potholes, and costly repairs. Effective water management protects your sub-base and prevents freeze-thaw damage during colder months.
Ultimately, asphalt milling is a cost-effective investment that delivers a superior finished product. It provides a stable, uniform base that promotes even compaction of new asphalt, resulting in a denser, more resilient surface. This proactive step saves you money in the long run by delaying major reconstruction and maintaining the aesthetic and functional value of your property.
We conduct a thorough inspection of your existing pavement to determine the ideal milling depth and identify any underlying issues. This ensures the milling plan precisely addresses your pavement's condition and future use.
Our specialized milling machines remove the old asphalt layer to the exact specified depth, creating a uniform and level surface. This step is executed efficiently to minimize disruption and prepare the site for the next phase.
All milled asphalt material (RAP) is promptly collected and hauled away from your site. We ensure a clean work area, leaving a prepared surface ready for the subsequent asphalt overlay without debris.
The newly milled surface is thoroughly cleaned and treated with a tack coat, if necessary, to promote optimal adhesion for the new asphalt overlay. This final preparation guarantees a strong bond and a long-lasting finished product.
