As the equipment has evolved, it has become a reliable way for paving contractors to provide pavement restorations for business owners and municipalities in an affordable and sustainable way. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we\u2019re going to discuss the benefits of asphalt milling for commercial and municipal pavements. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Affordable Pavement Restoration <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asphalt milling is most appropriate for pavements which have widespread surface damage like cracking, raveling, or uneven slope. Because the sub base is intact, there\u2019s no need to conduct a full demolition and repaving. Instead, the affected layers can be removed with a milling machine and replaced with new hot-mix. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Milling also helps address a number of other issues. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pavement Height and Drainage <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another <a href=\"https:\/\/dryhouserestoration.com\/\">solution to restore<\/a> a pavement\u2019s surface is to apply an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nvmpaving.com\/asphalt-milling\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">overlay<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Because the overlay is a new layer applied to the existing asphalt, each time this procedure is performed it raises the height of the pavement. Think of it like repainting the walls in your home. Do it enough times, and you\u2019ll need to chip the old paint off first. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a paved structure has had multiple overlays, you will no longer be able to add height to the surface without creating other issues. Asphalt milling allows you to restore your pavement while maintaining its original height. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Environmentally Friendly<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When asphalt is milled from the surface, it is collected and transported to a recycling facility where it is used as aggregate in new hot-mix asphalt. Because of this process, asphalt has become one the nation\u2019s most recycled materials. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Milling can Address Specific Problem Areas<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your parking lot or other asphalt structure has significant damage that is limited to specific areas of the structure, asphalt milling allows you to correct that damage without repaving the entire area. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asphalt milling can be used to remove the asphalt to an appropriate depth and be replaced so that at the same level as the rest of the pavement. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find Out if Asphalt Milling is Right for You<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since it began over 30 years ago, asphalt milling has become one of the quickest, easiest, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercurynews.com\/2011\/10\/24\/new-paving-approach-saves-cities-money-and-is-environmentally-friendly\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">most affordable<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ways for business owners and installation managers to maintain safe, attractive, and healthy pavements. In many cases, milling is a better alternative to complete demolition or other costly pavement removal processes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re unsure if pavement milling is the right solution for your property, NVM paving is happy to conduct a free, on-site evaluation.
