Once the quote has been accepted, we can start to prepare your project site. This step is particularly important, as if the area is not properly prepared, uneven asphalt can lead to cracking and potential failure.
To prepare the site, we begin by excavating the area to the required depths, before levelling, compacting, and proof rolling the ground.
Next, our team install all drainage requirements, before laying a base mixture specified by the Department of Main Roads. The base is compacted and levelled to the correct depth. We pay great attention to the compacting process, using specific machinery while still ensuring the correct moisture level.
Before asphalt is placed over the top, there are a number of other measures our team may take. These include sweeping the area to be sealed, and applying a bitumen tack or prime coat, or primer or spray seal.
