Asphalt Overlay: Efficient Pavement Renewal
Paved surfaces like parking lots and driveways often maintain usability for over 25 years, requiring minimal maintenance like sealcoating and patching. Pavement durability hinges on construction quality and ongoing care. Despite careful asphalt installation, parking lots and roads may deteriorate, creating the misconception that complete reconstruction is the only viable solution. However, in numerous instances, opting for an asphalt overlay is a quicker and more cost-effective alternative.
This standard pavement repair process includes:
- Removing the surface layer with milling equipment
- Repairing troubled areas in the foundation layers
- Applying a fresh asphalt surface to the restored base
- Optional sealcoating for added protection
Benefits of Overlay
Asphalt overlay proves cost-effective and faster than traditional paving methods. It’s ideal for repairing surfaces with minor cracks and shallow potholes, offering benefits like improved ride, corrected rutting, impermeability, reduced noise, extended service life, enhanced smoothness, and added structural capacity. By adding a brand new layer to your pavement, we repair the underlying surface issues and create a fresh surface with the same lifespan as a freshly paved area.
Overlay lifespans typically range from 8 to 15 years, with thin overlays potentially lasting up to 20 years when regularly maintained every 7-10 years.
Overlay Applications: Renewing commercial parking lots and residential driveways for less!
Not all paved areas are suitable for this kind of resurfacing repair. A reputable Colorado paving contractor will avoid recommending resurfacing for pavements with severe damage or unstable foundations. Signs like alligator cracking, large potholes, or deep cracks indicate foundation issues. If damage exceeds 30% of the surface, reconstruction is often advised due to potential deep repairs, foundation issues, and the financial impracticality of resurfacing. Subterranean problems, such as inadequate foundations or underground issues like collapsed drainpipes, may render an asphalt overlay financially impractical, making reconstruction a more cost-effective solution.
