What Is An Asphalt Pavement

Asphalt pavement is a type of roadway surface comprising a mixture of asphalt, aggregate, or gravel. The asphalt acts as a binding agent, holding the aggregate together and providing a smooth, durable surface for traffic. We can use asphalt pavement for various applications, from parking lots to highways. Polymer-modified asphalt is a type of asphalt that contains additives that improve its performance, making it more resistant to cracking and weather damage. Asphalt pavement is a popular choice for many reasons, including its durability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. Asphalt pavement can provide years of service with minimal repairs when properly maintained.

Benefits of Using Asphalt Pavement for Roadways

We use asphalt pavements for several reasons - from residential driveways to highways. For centuries now, asphalt remains to be one of the most reliable construction materials. No wonder why, as it provides various advantages, which include:

Safe and Durable

Asphalt pavements are one of the most popular choices for roadways because they are safe and their durability is excellent. An asphalt pavement surface comprises a mixture of asphalt, aggregate (small stones or gravel), and bitumen (a sticky, black substance used to bind the asphalt and aggregate together). This combination makes asphalt roads tough and resistant to damage from hot or cold weather, traffic, or wear and tear. It provides superb structural performance.

Smooth Finish

As we place pavement on a roadway, it is essential to understand the benefits that an asphalt surface offers. Many businesses and homeowners have used asphalt paving for many years. Asphalt continues to be one of the best materials to use. One benefit is that asphalt provides a smooth finish. When your contractors install the asphalt pavement properly, it will create a smooth driving surface for motorists. This is a vital factor, as it can help to prevent accidents. In addition, a smooth asphalt surface can also help to improve fuel efficiency.

Flexible

Asphalt is a flexible material. Its flexibility helps to reduce the amount of damage that is usually caused by shifting or expanding soil. As a result, asphalt pavement can last for many years. Of course, it will last only if proper maintenance is in place. Asphalt's flexibility makes it a better option than other paving materials available in the market.

Reduces Noise

Another benefit of asphalt roads is that they reduce noise pollution. A 2013 study by the World Road Association-PIARC found that asphalt pavement was significantly more effective at reducing road noise than concrete pavement. Using asphalt pavement can help reduce highway noise by as much as 7 decibels. Asphalt roads are also quieter for pedestrians and cyclists. Thus, it can improve safety near schools and other areas where children are present.

Cost-Effective

Asphalt cement is a material we use to construct roads and driveways that provides several benefits in terms of cost and durability. Asphalt roads are typically cheaper to build than concrete roads. They also require less maintenance. In addition, asphalt pavement is much more resistant to weathering and can withstand higher temperatures than concrete. As a result, many property owners and contractors think asphalt roads are a more cost-effective option for initial construction and long-term upkeep.

Sustainable

According to the Asphalt Pavement Alliance, asphalt pavement is America's most recycled product. It is a combination of asphalt cement (a petroleum product) and aggregate (crushed rock). Asphalt cement is the "glue" that holds the pavement together. Asphalt pavement is 100% recyclable and can be reused in new asphalt paving projects.

Our Asphalt Pavement Road Construction Process

At Orlando Asphalt Paving Company, we pride ourselves on providing our clients with high-quality asphalt pavement roads that will stand the test of time. We use only the best materials and construction techniques to ensure we build our roads to last. Our construction process includes the following steps:

Step 1: Clearing the Site

Clearing the site is the first step in our asphalt pavement road construction process. This involves removing obstacles that could impede the project, such as trees, large rocks, or debris. Once the site is clear, we can prepare the area for paving. Apart from clearing, this is also when we ensure our suppliers deliver all materials on the site. Having everything we need in place enables us to be more efficient. It also allows us to start and finish the project on time.

Step 2: Grading

After the first step of clearing the site, the next step is grading. Grading is an essential step in the asphalt paving process. The purpose of grading is to create a smooth, level surface for the asphalt to be laid on. We do this step using a large piece of equipment called a grader. The grader will push the asphalt around until it is level and free of any bumps or dips. Once the surface is smooth, we can lay down and compact the asphalt. Grading is an important step in ensuring a high-quality, long-lasting asphalt pavement.

Step 3: Sub-Base Preparation

The sub-base is the layer of material that lies beneath the asphalt pavement. We typically make it using gravel, sand, or crushed stone. The primary purpose of the sub-base is to provide a stable foundation for the asphalt pavement. The sub-base is also responsible for absorbing some of the traffic load, which helps extend the pavement's life.

Before we can lay the asphalt, we need to prepare the sub-base. After grading the area, the next thing we do is compact the sub-base material to create a firm foundation. Then, we install any necessary drainage features to prevent water from pooling on the pavement surface. Once done preparing the sub-base, we are ready to lay the asphalt.

Step 4: Laying of Asphalt Binders

The fourth step in our asphalt pavement road construction process is to lay down the asphalt binders. This helps to provide a solid foundation and a smooth surface for the asphalt top layer.

To start, we apply a layer of hot asphalt to the subbase using a specialized piece of machinery. This hot asphalt helps to adhere to the subsequent layers of asphalt to the sub-base. Once we finish applying the hot asphalt, our team uses a road roller to compact it and ensure a smooth surface. Next, we apply a layer of cold asphalt on top of the hot asphalt. This cold layer provides additional stability and helps to seal any cracks or pores on the surface. Finally, we spread a layer of fine aggregate over the cold asphalt. This aggregate helps to create a textured surface that provides good traction for vehicles.

Step 5: Installation of New Asphalt Surface

The final step in our asphalt pavement road construction process is installing the new asphalt surface. We use a particular paver to lay down the asphalt, then compact it with a heavy roller. The new surface must be smooth and even, with no low spots where water can pool.

Step 6: Curing

After laying and compacting the asphalt, we need to leave it to cure for a period of time. The curing process allows the asphalt to harden and bind together. As a result, it creates a solid and durable surface. Depending on the weather conditions, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Once the asphalt has cured, it will be ready for traffic and provide many years of service.

Step 7: Asphalt Sealcoating

The last step in our asphalt pavement road construction process is asphalt sealcoating. This protective measure helps to extend the life of your pavement by sealing it against weather damage and wear and tear. Sealcoating also gives your pavement a nice, uniform appearance. Our sealcoating crew will first clean your pavement to remove any dirt, debris, or oil spots. Once your pavement is clean, we will apply a thin layer of sealant using a high-pressure sprayer. We will then leave the sealant to dry for several hours before they can traffic it. We recommend you avoid driving on your new seal coat for at least 24 hours to give the sealant plenty of time to cure.
