Asphalt milling and full-depth reclamation are just two of the ways we demonstrate our standards as environmental stewards. With restorative asphalt reclamation services available across the Carolinas, Florida, Virginia, Georgia, and Tennessee, Turner Asphalt is the Southeast’s leader in paving maintenance.

What Is Asphalt Milling?

Asphalt milling is a sustainable approach to pavement rehabilitation, allowing construction professionals to restore aging roadways, parking lots, and other paved surfaces without complete reconstruction.

Milling is an asphalt resurfacing technique that is both cost-effective and eco-friendly. The process is particularly effective in areas where the underlying infrastructure is structurally sound but the surface layer has deteriorated. After carefully removing the top pavement layer, the material underneath is ground and repurposed.

Turner Asphalt specializes in asphalt milling services tailored to diverse project requirements, including:

Benefits of Asphalt Milling

Milling is a beneficial approach to asphalt resurfacing for the following reasons:

The process uses recycled asphalt paving instead of new material, reducing our dependence on natural resources and conserving energy. Additionally, the process can be repeated multiple times on the same paved surface.

Asphalt milling is a budget-friendly approach to resurfacing because it doesn’t require new construction.

With fewer materials needed and less time spent on-site, asphalt milling is also a more time-efficient alternative to pavement replacement.

Cars can begin driving on milled surfaces immediately after project completion for a quick transition back to resumed traffic patterns.

The Asphalt Milling Process

Our milling process is designed to revitalize your pavement’s infrastructure.

1. Surface Assessment

Before we begin, our team conducts a thorough evaluation of the existing pavement. We remove surface debris and perform a detailed assessment to determine the most appropriate milling strategy.

2. Milling

Utilizing a state-of-the-art milling machine, our technicians carefully remove the designated surface layer. This technique allows us to grind the existing asphalt into crushed material that can be effectively recycled.

3. Subgrade Restoration

Addressing underlying structural weaknesses is critical to the milling process. We repair damaged subgrade areas to establish a strong foundation that will support the new asphalt surface and ensure long-term durability.

4. Fresh Asphalt Application

We apply the fresh asphalt to the pavement and compress it with a rolling machine.

5. Finishing Touches

We complete each project with professional line striping and essential road markings, ensuring structural integrity, safety, and operational efficiency for the renewed surface.

What Is Full Depth Reclamation?

Full-depth reclamation transforms existing roadways from the ground up. This innovative approach rebuilds the entire pavement structure by systematically breaking down, mixing, and stabilizing multiple layers of existing materials.

Unlike asphalt milling, full-depth reclamation pulverizes the entire flexible pavement section as well as a strategic portion of underlying materials. The result is a fully integrated, stabilized base layer that restores deteriorating roadways, parking lots, and other paved surfaces.

Benefits of Full-Depth Reclamation

Our approach to full-depth reclamation was developed to maximize pavement performance and longevity.

Full-depth reclamation produces a stabilized base strong enough to hold up to heavy traffic loads, environmental changes, and structural deformation.

Because it utilizes recycled material, the full-depth reclamation process conserves natural resources, reduces landfill burden, and decreases transportation-related emissions.

Full-depth reclamation comes with reduced material procurement costs and lower long-term maintenance expenses.

Thanks to its sustainable approach and reliance on cutting-edge technology, full-depth reclamation minimizes on-site construction times and is more efficient than full reconstruction.

The Full-Depth Reclamation Process

1. Pulverization

Specialized equipment systematically breaks down existing asphalt and underlying materials, transforming them into a uniform mixture of aggregate particles.

2. Strategic Blending

Following pulverization, we carefully blend the crushed materials. This stage ensures a uniform distribution of aggregates, binders, and stabilizing agents for enhanced structural integrity and performance.

3. Compaction

Using heavy-duty compaction equipment, we compress the blended materials to achieve optimal density and strength. This crucial step transforms the pulverized mixture into a solid, stable foundation capable of supporting heavy traffic loads and resisting environmental stress.

4. Finishing Touches

If needed, we apply line striping and essential safety features, ensuring compliance with local regulations.

When Should You Consider Asphalt Milling or Reclamation?

Signs That Milling Is Needed

Surface-Level Cracks and Wear

Look for horizontal and vertical cracks that indicate deterioration. More than blemishes, they can compromise the integrity of the pavement and lead to further issues if not addressed promptly. Signs of wear also include discoloration or rough textures, suggesting that the surface has lost its protective layer.

Uneven Pavement or Safety Hazards

A bumpy or uneven driving surface creates safety risks for vehicles and pedestrians alike. Potholes, raised edges, or depressions can lead to accidents, vehicle damage, and increased maintenance costs. Asphalt milling can correct these issues before they escalate.

Standing Water Due to Poor Drainage

Accumulated water on the pavement indicates inadequate drainage, which can further deteriorate the road surface. Puddles also create hazards for drivers and pedestrians, making it essential to address drainage issues with asphalt milling.

When Full-Depth Reclamation Is the Right Choice

Subgrade Failure

Full-depth reclamation is necessary when there are signs of serious subgrade failure, including excessive settlement or instability. This process not only repairs the surface grade but also reinforces the underlying structure, ensuring a stable foundation for continued use.

Deep Potholes and Widespread Cracking

Potholes and unsightly cracks signal that the pavement has been compromised. Full-depth reclamation is particularly beneficial under these circumstances, as it allows for a comprehensive pavement rebuild to prevent further damage.

When Long-Term Pavement Solutions Are Needed

For areas that are subject to heavy traffic loads or extreme weather, full-depth reclamation provides a sustainable and resilient solution. This method not only rehabilitates the existing materials but also enhances overall durability.
