Are you looking to breathe new life into your existing pavement? Dominion Paving & Sealing has the perfect solution for you—our Asphalt Overlay 2”. This comprehensive resurfacing process will not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your property but also provide a durable and smooth surface that stands the test of time.
Steps to a Perfect Asphalt Overlay 2”
1. Preparation is Key
Before we begin the overlay process, our skilled team ensures that the area to be resurfaced is clean and free from debris and vegetation. Additionally, existing speed bumps are removed to pave the way for a seamless overlay.
2. Seamless Integration with Existing Pavement
When necessary, a precise heel is cut where the asphalt overlay meets existing pavement or concrete entrance ramps. This meticulous step ensures a smooth transition and a flawless finish.
3. Tackling the Tack Coat
The application of a tack coat is a crucial step in the process. This adhesive layer enhances the bond between the existing pavement and the new overlay, ensuring a strong and durable connection.
4. Leveling for Perfection
Areas requiring a leveling course are addressed before or during the asphalt overlay. Our team ensures that the surface is even, eliminating any imperfections and providing a solid foundation for the overlay.
5. Precision in Placement
The surface course is uniformly placed at an average 2” compacted depth. Our focus on precision ensures that the overlay is consistent and achieves the desired thickness for optimal performance.
6. Smooth and Uniform Finish
Proper compaction is key to achieving a smooth and uniform surface. Our team uses state-of-the-art equipment to compact the overlay, ensuring a professional finish that enhances the overall appearance of your pavement.
7. Tapered for Excellence
To prevent moisture intrusion, the asphalt overlay is tapered along the gutter pan. This attention to detail ensures the longevity of the pavement and reduces the risk of water-related damage.
8. Protecting Freshly Placed Asphalt
Hauling over freshly placed asphalt is strictly prohibited to maintain the integrity of the overlay. This precautionary measure safeguards against any potential damage during the crucial curing period.
9. Attention to Drainage
While we strive for excellence in all aspects, it’s important to note that drainage cannot be guaranteed on paved areas with less than a 2% grade. Our team considers the existing landscape to provide the best possible drainage solutions.
Note to Owners
Owners are kindly requested to clear the construction area during operations. The area can be reopened once paving operations are completed. This collaboration ensures a smooth and efficient process, allowing us to deliver high-quality results.
