Asphalt paving offered by
garnich. is a construction process that involves the application of asphalt (a mixture of aggregates, binder, and filler) to create roads, driveways, parking lots, and other surfaces in New Jersey. Asphalt is a popular choice for paving due to its durability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of installation.
Here are the key steps and considerations involved in our New Jersey asphalt paving services:
- Site Preparation
We clear the area of vegetation, debris, and any existing pavement, and grade and level the ground to ensure proper water drainage.
- Base Preparation
We lay a stable and strong base for the asphalt. This typically involves the installation of crushed stone or aggregate base layers. Compaction is essential to create a solid and stable foundation.
- Asphalt Mix Selection
We choose the appropriate asphalt mix based on the specific requirements for your New Jersey asphalt paving project. Different mixes are designed for various applications, including high-traffic roads or low-traffic driveways.
- Asphalt Mix Delivery
Hot-mix asphalt is typically transported in trucks to your New Jersey site. It is crucial to maintain the proper temperature during transportation to ensure workability and quality.
- Asphalt Application
The asphalt mix is dumped onto the prepared base and spread evenly using heavy equipment such as pavers or rollers. The thickness of the asphalt layer will depend on the intended use and local regulations.
- Compaction
Rollers are used to compact the asphalt layers, ensuring proper density and a smooth surface. Compaction reduces air voids, increases structural integrity, and improves the longevity of your New Jersey asphalt pavement.
- Edge Shaping
The edges of the asphalt pavement are shaped and compacted to create a smooth transition with adjacent surfaces.
- Curing
After compaction, the asphalt needs time to cool and harden, allowing it to achieve its full strength. Traffic at your New Jersey site should be restricted during this curing period to prevent damage to the newly laid pavement.
- Sealcoating
Sealcoating is an optional protective layer applied to the asphalt surface to enhance its durability and resistance to environmental factors, such as UV rays, moisture, and chemicals. It is often recommended for prolonging the life of asphalt surfaces.
- Striping and Marking
We also offer asphalt striping and marking services in New Jersey. If the asphalt surface is for roadways or parking lots, striping and marking can be applied to designate lanes, parking spaces, and other traffic-related features.
- Maintenance
We provide asphalt maintenance in New Jersey, which is essential for preserving the quality and longevity of the asphalt pavement. This may include crack sealing, patching, and periodic resurfacing.
- Environmental Considerations
We properly dispose of excess asphalt materials and adhere to environmental regulations, which is crucial during the paving process.
