Step-by-step Process of the Asphalt Driveway Paving
Paving an asphalt driveway requires meticulous attention to detail to ensure a durable and smooth surface. Here’s a step-by-step overview:
-
Evaluation: The first step involves assessing the existing driveway or site. This includes taking measurements and identifying any issues that must be addressed before paving.
-
Removal: If there’s an old driveway, it needs to be removed. Heavy machinery such as bobcats, forklifts, or dump trucks may be used to demolish and clear away the old material.
-
Grading and sloping: The next step is to grade the surface for proper water drainage. This is crucial to prevent water damage and ensure the driveway's longevity. Laser-guided transits and automatic motor graders are often used for precision.
-
Subbase preparation: A stable subbase is essential as it acts as a frost barrier and supports the new pavement. The subbase is compacted to provide a solid foundation for the asphalt.
-
Proof roll, undercutting, and sub-base repair: A proof roll is performed with a heavy vehicle to identify any soft areas in the sub-base. Any areas that flex more than an inch under the weight are repaired to ensure a supportive base.
-
Asphalt mix design: The asphalt mix is prepared with a specific proportion of aggregates and binders. The mix design is chosen based on the climate and traffic load expected on the driveway.
-
Paving: Once the subbase is ready, the hot mix asphalt is spread using a paver machine. It starts from a small pile to set the thickness and smoothness.
-
Compaction: After laying the asphalt, it’s compacted with a roller to ensure it’s packed tightly and has a smooth finish.
-
Cleanup: Any remaining debris is cleared, and the site is cleaned up to complete the process.
-
Curing: The newly paved driveway needs time to heal. It should not be used during this period to allow the asphalt to be set correctly.
This process ensures a strong, durable, smooth asphalt driveway that can last years with proper maintenance.
