Asphalt Paving

Asphalt Paving is one of the building blocks of America. The United States features over 2 million miles of paved highways and roads, and over 94% of those are surfaced with asphalt. It allows us access from our homes to schools, work, shopping, medical care and more.

Asphalt is the most recycled material in the United States. Nearly 100 million tons of asphalt pavement are reclaimed each year, with approximately 75 percent being reused for new pavements and another 20 percent being recycled into other highway uses.

Asphalt Paving is utilized in a variety of different applications because of its durability, cost effectiveness, and strength. It is the material of choice for parking lots across the nation due to the simple fact that asphalt can withstand heavy weight and, when maintained properly, can last for many years.

Benefits of Asphalt Paving:

• Economical: As a low-cost building material asphalt is not only less expensive in actual cost, but also in terms of the time it takes to complete construction. Its ability to dry quickly means that projects such as roads, highways, parking lots and driveways can be completed in less time with minimum inconvenience.
• Durable: As a weather-resistant material, asphalt can be designed for either low or high traffic conditions to meet specific needs. Since it is a petroleum-based product that expands and contracts with freezing and thawing temperatures, cracking is reduced.
• Safe: Due to is smooth-like finish, asphalt paving offers skid resistance, reduced splash back on wet pavement and improved distinction for road markings.
• Recyclable: As an easily recycled material, asphalt reduces environmental waste.
