What happens during an asphalt resurfacing project? 🚧
Ever wondered what goes into giving a tired, worn-out road or surface a new lease of life? Here’s a quick look at the typical resurfacing process 👇🏻
1️⃣ Preparation
Before any new asphalt is laid, the existing surface is assessed and prepared. Damaged areas are repaired, debris is removed and the surface is made ready for the new layer.
2️⃣ Removal of the old surface
Where required, the existing asphalt is planed or removed to create a suitable base for the new surface.
3️⃣ Base preparation
A strong, stable foundation is essential. Any underlying issues are addressed before the new asphalt is installed.
4️⃣ Asphalt is laid
Fresh, high-quality asphalt is delivered to site and laid using specialist paving equipment to create a smooth, consistent surface.
5️⃣ Compaction
The newly laid asphalt is compacted using rollers. This helps achieve the required density, strength and finish.
6️⃣ Finishing touches
Once the surface has been completed and checked, the area can be reopened and put back into use. The result? A smoother, safer and more durable surface ✅
Whether you’re working on a road, car park, driveway or larger infrastructure project, having the right asphalt is an important part of achieving a quality finish 💪🏻
