As
experts in asphalt Maintenance and
Rehabilitation processes, Allied Blacktop’s first
step is to assess asphalt conditions and determine if the asphalt
needs a maintenance correction to extend the useful life of the
asphalt, or a rehabilitation correction to improve the structure
of the asphalt. If the condition of the asphalt requires rehabilitation,
Allied can perform any of the following processes.
*All
patching processes including mill and patch, skin patch, and remove
and replace processes are endorsed by the Minnesota
Department of Transportation. It’s important to use the proper
method for the specific area. Most lots require a combination of
these strategies. Bottom line, under-specifying or over-specifying
the method and quantity of the patching will cost additional money
without additional benefit.
**An Overlay is both a maintenance and rehabilitation correction. It extends the life of the underlying
asphalt and also improves the asphalt’s structure. An asphalt overlay is required when it’s too late to
patch and seal, but too soon to perform a complete reconstruction. In other words, removing and
replacing the entire asphalt surface.
Overlays are less expensive than reconstruction—they require less preparation time AND less asphalt
to achieve the same result.
