Although built for strength and durability, pavements begin to wear down over time and can become prime candidates for mill and pave projects.
With mill and pave techniques, all millings are actually recycled product known as RAP (Recycled Asphalt Product). Heavy usage and the elements can beat down any pavement, so when the inevitable happens it is good to know the ins and outs of mill and pave projects.
The Basics of Milling and Paving
Milling a pavement is a much different approach than patching or peeling and paving a pavement. The milling and pave process actually removes layers of deteriorated asphalt to a certain depth and actually grinds up the asphalt into a tiny, gravel-like shape. The asphalt that has been grounded up is recycled, and the new surface is layered with track and receives a fresh coat of asphalt. In areas with a larger surface, this type of process is preferred over peel and pave or patch techniques.
