Services
Base Stabilizing
Our base stabilization services enhance road load-bearing capacity using hot asphalt cement, portland cement, or lime treatments. This process reduces frost damage and extends pavement lifespan while lowering material costs. We employ multi-drum mixers for uniform blending of aggregates and binders.
Cold-Milling
Cold-milling removes existing pavement layers with precision grading equipment. Our Roadtec and Wirtgen machines achieve depths up to 14" for surface renewal or drainage improvements. This method preserves structural integrity while preparing surfaces for new asphalt layers.
Pulverizing
In-place pulverizing reclaims deteriorated asphalt for reuse as base material. This eco-friendly process eliminates reflective cracking and reduces new material requirements by up to 90% while increasing base thickness for improved road performance.
Grading & Compaction
Our grading services use automated slope control systems to create optimal road profiles. With pad foot vibratory rollers and water trucks, we achieve 95%+ compaction density for stable sub-base layers that prevent future settlement issues.
Asphalt Emulsion
Engineered asphalt emulsion applications waterproof bases and reinforce soil structure. This technique improves frost resistance and moisture protection for parking lots, roads, and industrial site pavements.
