The New Construction Installation Process with Elite Paving
- Site Assessment and Planning: Before any asphalt installation can begin, the site is assessed to determine proper grading and drainage requirements. Our skilled contractors work closely with property owners, contractors, and municipalities to develop a comprehensive plan that ensures your new surface is durable and functional.
- Site Preparation and Grading: Proper grading is essential for a strong foundation and prevents future issues like puddling or cracks. Using advanced machinery, we remove any existing soil or debris and carefully grade the site, shaping it to allow for water drainage and a smooth surface.
- Sub-base Installation: A sub-base provides stability and support for the asphalt layer. This involves laying a crushed stone or gravel base, which is then compacted to create a firm foundation. The sub-base absorbs the weight and traffic stress, reducing the risk of surface damage over time.
- Paving: Once the sub-base is prepared, hot asphalt is applied in multiple layers, typically beginning with a binder layer for added strength and stability. The top layer, known as the surface layer, is designed for smoothness and durability, providing a high-quality finish.
- Compaction: After laying the material, we compact the surface using heavy rollers. This compaction ensures a solid, even surface that can withstand the pressure of vehicle traffic. Proper compaction prevents air pockets and provides the pavement with longevity.
- Final Inspection and Finishing: We inspect the surface for imperfections and adjust as needed. For commercial lots or other high-traffic areas, we often apply sealcoating and complete the job with parking lot striping or other finishing touches.
