Asphalt Milling

Operating with Precision: Our Methodology

At Northern Asphalt, we’re not just operators; we’re pavement artisans. Our Asphalt Milling process is an art form, honed through years of experience and a deep understanding of the intricacies involved.

Comprehensive Evaluation: Each project begins with a thorough assessment of the pavement’s condition, considering factors like thickness, wear patterns, and any underlying issues. This evaluation allows us to determine the precise milling depth required, optimizing both efficiency and quality.

Precision Machinery: Armed with cutting-edge milling equipment and guided by skilled operators, we execute the process with surgical precision. Our operators expertly navigate the machinery, ensuring a uniform removal of old asphalt layers, leaving behind a flawless base.

Meticulous Preparation: Laying the Groundwork

A successful asphalt milling project hinges on thorough preparation. At Northern Asphalt, we leave no stone unturned when it comes to setting the stage for excellence.

Strategic Traffic Management: Our meticulous planning extends to traffic management. We craft a comprehensive traffic control plan to ensure the safety of all parties involved, minimizing disruptions and optimizing work efficiency.

Surface Readiness: Prior to milling, we prepare the pavement surface by cleaning it of any debris or loose materials. This proactive approach enhances the milling process and sets the foundation for a seamless outcome.

Environmental Responsibility: Sustainability is ingrained in our values. We take extra measures to control dust emissions during the process, employing methods that reduce environmental impact while upholding air quality standards.

Seamless Application: Paving the Way for Success

With the milling complete, we shift our focus to the application phase, where expertise and attention to detail continue to shine.

Surface Enhancement: The newly milled surface presents a clean canvas for subsequent pavement treatments. This smooth foundation not only improves aesthetics but also promotes better adhesion and durability of future layers.

Adaptable Solutions: Whether the project calls for resurfacing, overlaying, or recycling milled asphalt for new applications, our experts tailor solutions to meet specific project requirements, ensuring that the final outcome surpasses expectations.

Quality Assurance: Our commitment to quality doesn’t waver. We meticulously inspect the milled surface, ensuring it meets our stringent standards before proceeding to the next phase.

Asphalt Milling FAQs

Asphalt milling involves removing the top layer of an existing asphalt surface to prepare it for resurfacing. Asphalt paving, on the other hand, is the process of applying a new layer of asphalt to create a smooth surface.

Asphalt milling is used to correct surface irregularities, improve ride quality, and provide better adhesion for new pavement layers. It’s also used to control the depth of pavement removal and recycle the milled material for sustainability.

Asphalt milling is typically used for flexible asphalt pavements, but it can also be used on some concrete surfaces to achieve specific objectives, like improving skid resistance.

The depth of milling is determined based on the condition of the existing pavement, the desired final surface, and any engineering requirements. Our experienced professionals either follow project design specifications or make on-site assessments.

The milled material, known as “millings,” is often reused in the construction industry. It can be recycled and incorporated into new asphalt mixtures or used as a base or fill material for roadways and other projects.

Yes, the asphalt milling process can generate noise due to the operation of machinery. Northern Asphalt LLC takes measures to mitigate noise levels, such as utilizing equipment with noise-reducing features or scheduling work during less noise-sensitive hours.

The duration of an asphalt milling project with varies depending on factors such as the size of the area, required milling depth, and prevailing weather conditions. Smaller projects could be completed within a day or two, while larger ones might take a week or more.

Cold milling involves utilizing a milling machine with high-speed rotating cutting teeth to remove asphalt. Hot milling, or hot in-place recycling, entails heating the existing pavement, scarifying and remixing it, and then applying a new surface layer for enhanced durability.

Yes, milling can be done in tight spaces and areas with obstacles, but it might require specialized equipment or techniques. Skilled operators can maneuver milling machines effectively in challenging conditions.
