Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA)
AZPW Company Services uses hot mix asphalt (HMA), consisting of a combination of crushed aggregate, air and liquid asphalt cement. The proper design of mixes, combination of aggregates, and liquid asphalt cement is essential to the production of durable pavement that will handle loads. We use only the best quality Hot Mix Asphalt to ensure the pavement meets all requirements.
Seal coating is an effective treatment to protect your asphalt investment. Commercial Paving and Coating uses commercial-grade sealer with additives that enable your asphalt to resist leaks and offer protection against cracking and weakening.
Asphalt binder (tar) hardens when it is exposed to oxygen. This results in a brittle surface that will eventually crack. These pavement cracks allow rainwater and oxygen to the penetrate the asphalt pavement and it's sub-base and shorten the pavement life by weakening it. Seal coating has many advantages to extend the life and appearance of your asphalt pavement.
Seal coating:
- Prevents oxidation
- Reduces pavement exposure to oxygen and water
- Fills asphalt surface gaps
- Seal coating asphalt pavement ultimately protects against deterioration, crumbling, and shrinking of the pavement. It provides resistance to elements that can soften asphalt.
Seal coating enhances asphalt appearance by restoring the original jet black color of the pavement. Seal coated pavement is easier to clean and maintain, and offers a solution to keeping your asphalt smooth and extending the overall life of the pavement.
AZPW Company Services has extensive experience in concrete pavement for commercial, industrial or municipal applications. Our paving crews are trained in the most recent procedures for producing quality concrete surfaces. We maintain modern mixing and paving equipment, ensuring your new surface or restoration project is the best quality available.
Traffic loads
The primary difference between concrete and asphalt road surfaces is that concrete is a rigid structure and asphalt is flexible. The significance of this is in how the pavements react to traffic loads and the environment. Each has its specific advantages and uses.
Durability
Concrete has a longer structural life. Typically, a concrete pavement is designed to last 25 to 30 years, and some are built with a life of 50 years. It doesn't rut, washboard or shove out of its original position. Its rigid surface provides excellent durability.
Maintenance and Repair
Because it is built with a longer structural life, concrete requires less repair and maintenance. This means fewer delays for commuters due to closed roads under construction or repairs.
Concrete can Withstand Heavy Weight
Unlike asphalt, concrete is not affected by seasonal weakening of the sub grade during spring thaw. This feature allows heavy vehicles to maintain full weight on concrete highways all year round. Concrete is very well suited to heavy load truck traffic. It is especially useful for water courses and high weight loading areas. It is more expensive to install than asphalt but is a wise investment for locations that must withstand heavy loads. |
