When a parking lot reaches the end of its life cycle it must either be resurfaced or replaced.
The decision to replace or repair can be determined by the amount of shattered and failed areas. If the lot has shifted, settled or rutted, there is likely a base problem which must be addressed.
Asphalt Milling and Resurfacing
Existing pavement is milled to remove 1-2 inches of asphalt. We sweep and clean the remaining pavement to remove debris that would prevent bonding. A coating of liquid asphalt emulsion (tack) is placed to enhance the bonding. New hot mixed surface asphalt is paved and compacted to the specified thickness. (Typically 1.5” – 2” inches)
Parking Lot Replacement
The existing asphalt is milled off and removed down to the stone base. The stone base is graded to improve drainage and then vibratory compacted. New hot mixed asphalt is paved in 2 layers (binder and surface) to bring the lot back to new condition. (Typically 3.5” – 6” depending on traffic loads)
New Parking Lot Installation
New stone base is installed, graded, and compacted. The thickness of the stone varies from 8 inches to 12 inches. Four inches of hot mixed asphalt will be installed in two lifts. The first lift will be 2.5” of binder to provide strength. The second lift will be 1.5” of surface to provide a smooth driving surface. The depths of the stone base and asphalt can change to meet the specified pavement cross section in the plan design.
