Asphalt Pulverization Services

Hutch Paving offers asphalt pulverization services.

Pulverization of asphalt can reduce maintenance costs in your pavement rehabilitation project, making it a cost-effective process for property owners who face excessively thick asphalt parking lots that cannot be resurfaced.

Pulverization is the process of in-place recycling. First, a pulverization machine grinds the entire surface to full depth, creating a new material that resembles crushed aggregate base course. This pulverized asphalt will be the new base for your new pavement system. The new base material is then regraded, creating new high points in the parking lot while leaving as much material on site as possible, thereby almost eliminating the need for asphalt removal costs.

This process will save time and money by reducing the high cost of removing excessively thick asphalt, which has been compounded by the numerous layers of asphalt resurfacing applied over the years. However, this process cannot be used for every project due to existing pavement elevations and surrounding structures that cannot be changed, such as neighboring parking lots and curbs & gutters. Additionally, the time required to complete this process is usually three times longer than milling, barring any unforeseen and unstable soil conditions.
