Superior Aggregates Services
We offer quality asphalt construction services.
Superior Aggregates utilizes hot mix bituminous asphalt produced under the highest of industry standards.
Here are some important considerations:
Endurance. It’s important that an asphalt mixture have a high level of workability, adequate film thickness, and small air voids to be laid and compacted. In order to bind the aggregates into a cohesive mixture, bitumen is most commonly used as a binder resulting in increased thickness, stickiness, and semi fluidity. That is why it is called “Bituminous Asphalt”. As asphalt ages it becomes stiff and brittle making it more susceptible to cracking and degradation.
Compaction. In order to achieve compaction and density, asphalt is placed while it is very hot. When heated, asphalt becomes pliable and fluid, releasing a vapor. The higher the temperature, the more vapor is released and the better the asphalt compacts. The quality and purity of the asphalt we utilize contributes to better compaction along with better performance.
Resistance. Asphalt has to be resistant enough so that it will not distort or displace over time with heavy traffic loads and changes in temperature. If it is subject to moisture it must be able to withstand potential damage along with the wear and tear of natural and manmade elements.
How can you extend the life of your asphalt?
Asphalt Repair Items That Need To Be Addressed
- Sealcoat
Sealcoating helps maintain the integrity and strength of your asphalt by slowing down the process of reduction or degradation. The application of poly modified sealant can greatly extend the life of your asphalt. As asphalt sealers and their installation are affordable, this maintenance step is important and financially reasonable. Is your pavement a fading black and the surface is decomposing? Then it is time to consider a sealcoat! Read about PMM Sealers and also about our Liquid Road services.
- Crack Sealing
Cracks allow moisture to penetrate through the asphalt affecting the subgrade. As the subgrade becomes soft and week with moisture during the summer months, or as the moisture freezes and expands it places pressure on your asphalt which increase cracking. This damage can expand and grow across your entire asphalt area which is known as “alligator”. Through a site assessment, we identify areas in need of repairs. Utilizing direct fire rubber, we can seal the cracks alleviating further subgrade damage. The sealing of cracks is intended to “seal” and provide a maintenance solution only. Over time cracks we continue to expand and contract with temperature fluctuation and the movement of ground soils. By crack sealing early on, we can reduce the spread and expansion of cracks, reducing expensive maintenance and repair costs.
- Striping
Properly striping your asphalt parking lot or drive lane is the final important step completing your project investment. As part of our services, we offer commercial striping including parking stall markings and hash-marks, handicap and directional arrow stenciling, painting curbs and curb stenciling, along with customer stenciling and markings for safety and traffic flow.
