Road Building

Reliable and safe roads are essential to the economy. Roads connect supply chains, transport goods, and transport people to jobs, healthcare, and education.

Road building involves more than paving a road. The surface must be prepared through road reclamation, soil stabilization, asphalt milling, or any combination of those processes. After the surface has been prepared, the paving can begin. Residential, commercial, highway class, and motorsports paving are some of the applications within road building.

Road Building Applications

Asphalt Milling

Asphalt milling, also known as cold planing, is the removal of top layers of an asphalt surface to provide an improved surface for repaving. It is a cost-effective and sustainable process that can be repeated as needed. 

Commercial Paving

Commercial paving applications need machinery that can scale down the highway paver size without scaling down the power, functionality, performance, or efficacy. These pavers are able to pave hard-to-reach areas such as parking lots, traffic circles, and roundabouts to yield a quality mat without sacrificing productivity.

Highway Paving

Highway class paving requires pavers that are strong, powerful and productive. These large-scale paving projects include interstates, expressways and superhighways. Highway class paving can range from one lane to multi-lane projects. These applications require pavers with large hoppers, wide paving widths and a broad scope of screed compatibility.

Motor Sports Paving

Motor sports paving requires nonstop paving, precise mat thickness and consistent paving practices. The hot mix asphalt needs to be uniform in terms of temperature and consistency. The resulting pavement must be able to withstand massive stress.

Recycled Asphalt Pavement

Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) is asphalt paving material recovered from old road beds either by milling or excavation.

Residential Paving

Residential paving focuses on paving driveways, parking lots, cart paths, bike paths, walking paths and other small areas. 

Road Reclamation

Asphalt reclamation, also known as road reclamation or full depth reclamation, is a cost-effective method of pavement rehabilitation.

Soil Stabilization

Soil stabilization prepares a surface for new road construction. Rather than preparing a base with new soil, the existing material is recycled.
