ASPHALT
We provide our clients with uncompromising quality when it comes to the services we offer. Serving all of San Diego County
Asphalt Paving Commercial & Residential
Asphalt is ideal for high traffic pavement because the aggregates inside give it strength and structure, while the petroleum based binders give it flexibility so it doesn’t crack under the pressure of vehicles. Our residential clients get the same exceptional service as our commercial property owners. Our asphalt driveway installation process is similar to parking lot installation, only on a smaller scale. We understand how important it is to have a well-draining, stable base for asphalt pavement, even a driveway, so we always start with thorough site preparation and grading. We also mix our asphalt specifically for each residential property. With our experience with all kinds of paving, we can also install decorative edging, drainage systems, and concrete walkways. Installing an asphalt roadway takes a high level of paving expertise because the requirements are very specific and driver safety is very important. Our asphalt experts take care to install thicker sub-bases and underlayers with high quality aggregates to create a stable base, and we only use specially mixed high-traffic asphalt for roadways. Our experienced crews can also paint traffic lines that are complaint with all local and national laws.
Different types of Asphalt
To be able to provide the best performance to different applications, a large variety of asphalt mixes can be used. Due to the different requirements (amount of traffic, amount of heavy vehicles, temperature, weather conditions, noise reduction requirements, etc.) the respective mix used needs to have an sufficient stiffness and resistance to deformation in order to cope with the applied pressure from vehicle wheels on the one hand, yet on the other hand, they need to have an adequate flexural strength to resist cracking caused by the varying pressures exerted on them. Moreover, good workability during application is essential in order to ensure that they can be fully compacted to achieve optimum durability.
Asphalt mixtures can be produced at different temperatures
Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA)
Hot asphalt mixes are generally produced at a temperature between 150 and 180 °C. Depending on the usage, a different asphalt mixture can be used. For more details of the different asphalt mixtures
Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA)
A typical WMA is produced at a temperature around 20 – 40 °C lower than an equivalent Hot Mix Asphalt. Significantly less energy is involved and, consequently, less fumes are produced (as rule of thumb, a reduction of 25ºC produces a reduction of 75% of fumes emission). In addition, during the paving operations, the temperature of the material is lower, resulting in improved working conditions for the crew and an earlier opening of the road.
Cold Mix Asphalt
Cold mixes are produced without heating the aggregate. This is only possible, due to the use of bitumen emulsified in water, which breaks either during compaction or during mixing. Producing the coating of the aggregate. Over the curing time, water evaporates and strength increases. Cold mixes are particularly recommendable for lightly trafficked roads.
Facts about Asphalt
Asphalt is affordable, easily manufactured and readily available. It’s also the sustainable choice for any business looking to build, maintain or improve paved surfaces like parking lots and commercial driveways.
The asphalt industry is, in fact, the country’s most diligent recycler, recycling asphalt pavements at a rate of greater than 99 percent. That’s an impressive statistic considering the near constant rate at which asphalt pavement is manufactured and installed every year in North America.
What’s more, the use of asphalt pavement is shown to provide the best return on investment of any paving material according to the asphalt paving alliance. When maintenance is required, Rose Paving asphalt services can extend the life of any asphalt pavement structure indefinitely.
Commercial Applications of Asphalt and Asphalt Maintenance
Though asphalt is primarily utilized in the paving of roads and parking lots, it has multiple use applications that are often overlooked, including:
Transportation (e.g. roads, railway beds or airport runways, taxiways, etc.)
Recreation (playgrounds, bicycle paths, running tracks, tennis courts, etc.)
Agriculture (barn floors, greenhouse floors, etc.)
Industrial (ports, landfill caps, work sites, etc.)
Building construction (flooring, etc.)
What is Asphalt ?
Asphalt is a mixture of aggregates, binder and filler, used for constructing and maintaining roads, parking areas, railway tracks, ports, airport runways, bicycle lanes, sidewalks and also play- and sport areas.
Aggregates used for asphalt mixtures could be crushed rock, sand, gravel or slags. Nowadays, certain waste and by-products, such as construction and demolition debris, are being used as aggregates, which increases the sustainability of asphalt.
In order to bind the aggregates into a cohesive mixture a binder is used. Most commonly, bitumen is used as a binder, although nowadays, a series of bio-based binders are also under development with the aim of minimising the environmental impact of the roads.
An average asphalt pavement consists of the road structure above the formation level which includes unbound and bituminous-bound materials. This gives the pavement the ability to distribute the loads of the traffic before it arrives at the formation level. Normally, pavements are made of different layers
How is asphalt made?
Asphalt is produced in an asphalt plant. This can be a fixed plant or even in a mobile mixing plant. It is possible to produce in an asphalt plant up to 800 tons per hour. The average production temperature of hot mix asphalt is between 150 and 180°C, but nowadays new techniques are available to produce asphalt at lower temperatures
