What is Asphalt Milling?
Also known as cold planing, this repair service removes the top pavement layer to create a smooth, even base for resurfacing. This method restores roads, driveways, and other paved areas that deteriorate due to wear, accidents, or weather. It’s used to address:
- Loose gravel,
- slick surfaces,
- tire grooves,
- shifting,
- and uneven surfaces.
The Gregoire Paving Asphalt Milling Process
Our experienced paving contractors have performed pavement milling on many properties across the Pine Tree State, from roadway improvements in Portland to restoring a school parking lot in Saco to installing beautiful asphalt driveways on residential properties along Maine’s southern coastline.
We use advanced repair equipment to ensure precision and efficiency. Here’s how the process works:
- Assessment: We evaluate the surface to determine the appropriate milling depth.
- Milling: Our state-of-the-art machine grinds down the top material layer using carbide-tipped cutting tools while collecting the milled material for recycling.
- Surface Preparation: The surface is left clean and even, ready for the next step, whether resurfacing or additional maintenance.
- Resurfacing (Optional): A new layer can be applied for a fresh surface after surface removal.
When is Asphalt Milling the Right Choice?
This cost-effective repair service is ideal when the surface has deteriorated but the base is still sound. It’s a cost effective alternative to full-depth reconstruction and extends the life of your paved surface.
Common uses include:
- Resurfacing Preparation: The step before an overlay, it makes new materials adhere properly and last longer.
- Height Adjustments: When you need to adjust the height of curbs, manholes, or drainage systems, it removes pavement for a perfect fit.
- Slope Corrections: It corrects drainage by adjusting slope, preventing pooling and further damage.
