What Is Asphalt Milling?

Asphalt milling is a sustainable technique for repairing or replacing worn-out pavement surfaces. It involves removing existing pavement layers to prepare for new asphalt to be installed. The discarded asphalt materials, called millings- are then brought to an asphalt plant to be recycled. 

Asphalt milling is an effective way to revamp surfaces without full demolition, saving time, money, and energy. 

The Asphalt Milling Process 

From the initial evaluation of your surface condition to the final installation of new asphalt material, our team ensures transparency in every step to ensure we meet your expectations. 

Our asphalt milling process is comprised of several steps, executed with precision and efficiency.

Evaluating Asphalt Condition Before Milling

We start with a thorough site evaluation to assess and confirm the condition of your asphalt. If the underlying subgrade is damaged, asphalt milling might not be the best solution—it’s designed to only remove and restore compromised top layers. 

Grinding The Surface With A Milling Machine

After we prepare the area, we use our advanced equipment to remove and grind up the top layer of asphalt so it’s ready for repurposing. We will adjust the depth depending on your project and the extent of damage. 

Collecting And Reusing Asphalt Millings 

Once we have prepared the millings, they are collected to be used as an aggregate for laying the new surface. The crushed asphalt is just as durable as typical materials like concrete, gravel, or fresh asphalt for resurfacing.

Cleaning The Milled Asphalt Surface

Before laying the repurposed millings, we thoroughly clean the milled asphalt surface using high-grade equipment to comprehensively sweep and wash away dust and loose millings. This ensures proper application for a smooth, new surface.

Applying A Fresh Layer Of Asphalt 

We carefully apply the fresh layer of asphalt and compress it to create a seamless, smooth surface. We then let it dry and cure properly before adding finishing touches like line striping and safety features to ensure a safe, functional surface.

What Is Asphalt Reclamation? 

Asphalt reclamation, or full-depth reclamation, is another effective pavement restoration process offered by Sipes Asphalt & Concrete. 

The process involves the construction of a new foundation for the installation of a new top layer of asphalt. This is achieved by pulverizing and combining all layers of asphalt pavement, including the underlying subbase, to create a uniform material to use as the new base. 

Asphalt reclamation does not require asphalt to be excavated or removed, saving valuable time and money on your pavement revamp.

Asphalt Reclamation Process

Sipes Asphalt & Concrete’s asphalt reclamation process is designed and employed carefully to strengthen roads while minimizing waste and reducing construction time.

Here is an overview of our process:

Site Evaluation and Project Planning

Our team begins by assessing pavement conditions and subsurface materials. This planning phase determines the required pavement depth, appropriate stabilizers, and traffic management strategies to achieve the best result. 

Pulverizing the Existing Asphalt and Base

We use specialized equipment to pulverize the asphalt surface and base layers into a uniform blend. This process eliminates cracks and structural issues.

Mixing and Stabilizing the Reclaimed Material

The pulverized mixture is then treated with stabilizers like cement or asphalt to improve the new base layer’s strength, durability, and load-bearing capacity.

Grading and Compacting the Surface

Then, our team uses grading equipment to shape the stabilized layer to fit the existing road design. We also use rollers to compact the surface to ensure it’s smooth and supports heavy traffic loads.

Installing New Asphalt 

Lastly,  we install and compact a new layer of asphalt over the stabilized base. This final step provides a smooth, durable riding surface and restores the road’s appearance.
