What is Asphalt Paving Resurfacing?

You've likely heard of overlay or resurfacing when you think about replacing or repairing your asphalt paving Las Vegas. What are the best ways to determine if the overlay is an option for you instead of a total replacement?

Here are some quick bullet points to help you make informed decisions.

Asphalt overlay is the same as pavement resurfacing.
An overlay is a process of adding a layer of asphalt to replace the pavement.
The new layer or overlay is typically one-and-a-half inches to two inches thick.
Reconstruction of total Replacement, also known as both one and two, is the process of installing both subgrade asphalt layers as well as the top pavement overlay layer.
Asphalt pavement should only be resurfaced if the base is in good condition.
If the surface is severely oxidized, resurfacing can be done as long as the subgrade remains in good condition.
Core-testing will be performed by Paving Contractors to assess the condition of the subgrade.
Pavement overlays should not be used if the pavement surface has suffered excessive damage or alligator cracks.
Reconstructing asphalt pavement that has been severely damaged is cheaper and more efficient than installing an overlay.
Pavement should last between eight and fifteen years, depending on many factors such as the weather, freeze-thaw cycles, how heavy vehicle traffic it experiences the asphalt thickness, and the condition at installation.

After you have made a decision about whether to replace or repair your asphalt pavement, it's important to discuss with your contractor how to implement a pavement maintenance program. Your asphalt pavement will last longer if you take good care of it. You can extend the life of your asphalt pavement parking lot by paying attention to details such as crack filling, sealcoating, and pothole repair.

You might be asking yourself how parking lot sweeping can make a difference to the longevity of your parking area. Well, that's simple. It is crucial to protect your asphalt's surface by cleaning it off with manmade and natural debris. Vehicles will grind the asphalt surface again and again if bottle caps, dirt, and water are left on your asphalt. Each crack, dent, and chip further accelerate the erosion process. The sun's rays, rainwater, and dirt sitting on the surface accelerate this process. You can avoid bigger problems like asphalt pavement reconstruction by paying attention to the little things like parking lot sweeps and sealcoating.
