Expert Asphalt Milling & Recycling Services
Delta Contracting has been a leader in asphalt recycling and soil stabilization services for nearly 30 years. Founded in 1994 as part of the Donegal Corporation, we expanded our reach into the Southeast United States to provide specialized asphalt milling solutions across the Mid-Atlantic region. Our commitment to quality and environmental responsibility drives our work, combining an innovative team, elite fleet of equipment, and best-in-class customer relationships. Headquartered in Haw River, North Carolina, we operate a fleet of 36 milling machines and support equipment to deliver multi-width milling and specialized cutting services throughout the Southeast. Our mission focuses on providing the highest quality asphalt milling services while pursuing excellence through sustainable solutions for future generations.We distinguish ourselves through exceptional work quality, flexible scheduling, and a dedication to meeting each customer's specific demands. Our team's expertise spans from high-production mill-and-fill jobs on interstates to custom projects in tight spaces, supported by advanced technologies like 3D milling and GPS-based R.I.D.E. systems. We maintain industry leadership through continuous technological advancement and a commitment to developing our people while inspiring trust among clients and partners. Our work extends beyond milling to include sweeping and cleanup services, ensuring complete project readiness for subsequent paving operations. We actively contribute to community well-being through sustainable construction practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote resource conservation.

Services
Asphalt Milling
Our asphalt milling service efficiently removes existing pavement surfaces with precision. Using modern equipment and experienced operators, we correct surface deficiencies while producing recyclable material. Services include depth-controlled milling, cross-slope adjustments, and specialized cutting for both large-scale interstate projects and tight-space applications. Our 40+ machine fleet handles projects from 18-inch to 12-foot widths.
3D Milling
This automated guidance system achieves superior pavement smoothness through 3D modeling and robotic total station technology. Our Trimble PCS900 system maintains 0.01 tolerances by continuously adjusting milling depth and pitch. The process eliminates traditional staking requirements while optimizing material removal quantities and trucking costs for improved project efficiency.
R.I.D.E. Technology
Our GPS-based R.I.D.E. system maximizes ride quality incentives through four-phase improvement. Starting with Topcon RD-M1 data collection, our technicians create 3D models that guide variable-depth milling operations. The process delivers measurable ride quality improvements while maintaining strict profile and grade requirements for highway projects.
Soil Stabilization
This process transforms poor soils into durable pavement bases using chemical additives. Our specialized equipment accurately distributes cement, lime, or asphalt emulsions to create engineered layers with 30+ year design lives. The service accelerates construction schedules by reducing rain-related delays and minimizing required pavement thickness.
Cold In-Place Recycling
This sustainable method recycles 3-4 inches of existing asphalt through milling, crushing, and remixing with binding agents. Our process reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 90% compared to conventional methods while achieving 20-40% faster construction times. The resulting cold mix provides durable pavement solutions with reduced cracking.
Questions
What geographic areas do you serve?
We provide asphalt recycling and milling services throughout the Southeast United States, including North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, and Tennessee.
What makes your 3D milling technology unique?
Our Trimble PCS900 system with robotic total stations maintains 0.01 tolerances by automatically adjusting milling depth and pitch to match 3D surface models for superior pavement smoothness.
How does your R.I.D.E. system improve road quality?
The four-phase R.I.D.E. process uses Topcon scanning technology and GPS guidance to systematically improve ride quality, achieving measurable results that maximize ride incentive bonuses.
What environmental benefits do your services provide?
Our recycling methods reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%, minimize material transportation needs, and promote sustainable resource use through asphalt and soil reclamation processes.
What equipment do you use for milling operations?
We operate a modern fleet of 40+ rotomills with widths ranging from 18 inches to 12 feet, supported by specialized attachments for tight-space applications and skidloader-mounted solutions.
How do you ensure quality control on projects?
Our experienced technicians use advanced survey equipment and automated machine guidance systems to maintain strict tolerances, while our quality assurance team monitors all project phases for compliance.
