Your Trusted Contractor for Asphalt Millings

Asphalt milling, also known as cold planing or pavement milling, is the process of removing the surface layer of an existing asphalt pavement using a specialized piece of equipment called a milling machine. This heavy-duty machine features a large, rotating drum equipped with carbide-tipped cutting teeth that grind and pulverize the asphalt, leaving behind a rough, textured surface. The primary purpose of asphalt milling is to create a uniformly level base for resurfacing or overlaying the road, ensuring a smooth, even finish when the new asphalt is laid. By removing the top layer, milling eliminates ruts, potholes, and other surface irregularities that can develop over time due to weathering, heavy traffic, and general wear and tear. This process not only improves the ride quality for drivers, but also extends the lifespan of the pavement by preparing it to receive a fresh layer of asphalt. The milled asphalt material is typically collected and recycled, either by incorporating it back into the new asphalt mix or by using it as a base for other construction projects, making the process environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Overall, asphalt milling is a critical component of pavement maintenance and rehabilitation, ensuring our roads remain smooth, safe, and durable for years to come.
