Asphalt Works

  • Paving: We install new asphalt surfaces, from preparing the site and pouring the material to compacting it to create a smooth, durable finish. It can be done for driveways, parking lots, and roadways.

  • Repair: Asphalt surfaces can crack and deteriorate over time due to weather and traffic. We at RL Masonry LLC perform various repairs, including:

    • Crack filling: A rubberized tar is injected into cracks to seal them and prevent further damage.

    • Patching: Damaged sections of pavement are removed and replaced with new asphalt.

  • Maintenance: To extend the life of a paved surface, maintenance work is essential. This includes:

    • Sealcoating: Applying a protective sealant to the surface to shield it from water, oils, and UV rays.

    • Reclamation: A process that recycles old asphalt into a new, durable paving material.

Key Aspects of Asphalt Works

Site Preparation: 

​

  • Cleaning and Grading:

    The area must be cleared of debris, and the underlying surface is graded to the correct slope and profile.

  • Base Installation:

    A strong aggregate base is installed to provide a solid foundation and support the asphalt's weight-bearing capacity.

​​

Asphalt Mix Design and Production: 

Component Ratios:

  • A carefully calibrated mix of aggregates (sand, gravel, stone) and asphalt binder (like bitumen) creates a stable, durable material.

Heating:

  • The asphalt mix is heated to a high temperature (around 280-320°F) so the binder can properly coat the aggregates.

​​

Paving and Compaction:

  • Placement: The hot asphalt mix is spread evenly over the prepared base using a paver.

  • Compaction: Specialized rollers mechanically compact the freshly laid asphalt to remove air voids, creating a dense, strong, and water-resistant pavement. 

  • Temperature Management: Maintaining the correct temperature for the asphalt mix during transport and placement is critical for successful compaction and binding. 

Factors for Durability and Performance:

​

  • Drainage:

    Proper design to direct water away from the pavement structure is crucial to prevent moisture damage. 

  • Density:

    Higher compaction density leads to greater strength and durability, protecting the pavement from water and air infiltration. 

  • Quality Control:

    Rigorous testing and quality control at the plant and in the field ensure the mix design and construction meet high standards. 

  • Maintenance:

    Regular maintenance and timely repairs extend the life of an asphalt pavement.
