Highway engineers, business owners, and more continue to choose asphalt time and time again, but why? Why is asphalt used for roads, parking lots, and everything in between? What benefits does asphalt offer over other pavement materials?
The Benefits of Asphalt Pavement
- Perpetual Pavements: Asphalt perpetual pavement is built to be maintained, lasting virtually forever with routine maintenance, periodic milling and overlaying.
- A Smooth Ride: A smooth ride is not only beneficial for comfort reasons, but studies have shown that smooth pavement has a huge effect on fuel economy. And with today’s economy, fuel efficiency is a huge concern! Oh, and did we mention that smoother pavements also last longer? Studies show that improving pavement smoothness by 25 percent results in almost a 10 percent increase in pavement longevity.
- Quiet: Asphalt greatly reduces the amount of noise pollution produced by motorists.
- Construction Speed: Paving with asphalt greatly reduces construction times. And for anyone who has ever been stuck in traffic because of roadwork, this is a big deal!
- Maintenance: With asphalt, maintenance is quick, easy, and cost effective.
So the question is: Why would anyone pave with anything else!?
