\"coldmilling\"<\/p>\n

Cold Milling, Grinding, and Pulverization<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cold Milling is the automatically controlled removal of pavement to a desired depth with specially designed equipment, and restoration of the surface to a specified grade or slope, free of humps, ruts and other imperfections. The resulting textured pavement can be used immediately as a driving surface, or it can be overlaid with a minimum of material.<\/p>\n

Grinding is another term for cold milling. Generally the term is used with rebating. Rebating is grinding along edges where concrete curb or sidewalk meets an asphalt edge. Grinding or rebating is done to ensure there is no lip between surfaces which can be a trip hazard or unsightly.<\/p>\n

Pulverization is a process of grinding (or milling) the existing asphalt surface and mixing it with the underlying stone base. This process serves to strengthen the existing base and form a better foundation to build on.<\/p>\n

\"recycle\"Cold milled materials can be recycled into the sub-base, used in the new asphalt pavement or stockpiled for use at a later time. We can often find a way to make your parking lot better and saving you money at the same time by turning the old surface into a material that can be used to build the new surface. When it comes to recycling our philosophy is that if we can save it we will.<\/p>\n

Cold milling can be focused on the pavement problem correcting only what is necessary saving time and money to the owner. It is done quickly with minimum interruption to the traffic flow. Cold milling is especially cost effective for large surfaces such as streets, highways, runways, community developments and large parking lots.<\/p>\n
