A Pavement Restoration Alternative: Asphalt Milling for Pekin IL
If your pavement is faded, torn up and uneven, it’s time to consider how you might restore its quality. And while removing the old pavement and installing new asphalt is always an option, it’s not always the most affordable. Conversely, a pavement restoration alternative can save money and is more environmentally friendly: asphalt milling. To learn more about asphalt milling for Pekin IL and the process behind it, give Hoerr’s Blacktop & Sealcoating a call today.
What is Asphalt Milling?
The top layer of asphalt is removed to a specified depth during asphalt milling, keeping the subbase intact. Afterward, new asphalt (or recycled asphalt) can be laid over the top of the base. This pavement restoration method saves the time and effort of removing and installing a new base and opens up opportunities to reuse old asphalt.
Why Some Clients Prefer Asphalt Milling
There are benefits to asphalt milling for Pekin IL that are preferred over complete pavement replacement. For example, you can expect:
- Recyclability : The old asphalt torn up during the milling process can be reutilized as the surface of your parking lot or roadway. Either we can have asphalt reheated and mixed to pour over the base again, or we can use the asphalt gravel as a new surface layer. In either instance, recycling old asphalt saves both natural resources and energy, thus leaving less environmental footprint.
- Affordability : Removing and installing a new base for pavement can take a significant amount of time and resources to complete. Conversely, asphalt milling reuses the base and asphalt. Between the reduced labor and the lower cost of materials when reusing parts of the pavement, costs are more manageable than traditional pavement replacement.
- Speed : As is the theme with asphalt milling, reuse of asphalt is key to its benefits. The machinery used to mill your pavement surface is both quick and efficient. Furthermore, you can significantly cut down the time on your pavement restoration project without the extra time it takes to install the pavement’s base. Overall, asphalt milling is an excellent option if you need a fast turnaround.
