While undertaking paving constructions, a series of processes have to be carried out. Preparation is the first stage in asphalt paving. Before lying down the pathway, the base has to be prepared by clearing the area and removing loose soils. This involves constructing and firmly compacting the base before installing asphalt over the existing aggregate.
If the existing driveway is in a good state and without fault, there is no need of putting up a new pavement. To put the pavement, you use a hot mixture of asphalt on the road course. The most important section of the asphalt course way is the base. It is the base that determines the lifespan and the durability of the paving.
The foundation of the asphaltic pavement is made strong by the material contained in the base. A good base does the work of channeling water that accumulates on asphaltic surfaces to the right direction. Asphaltic material never completely hardens, and when it does, that is the end of its life. In the instance that the base is fragile, unlevel or has holes, the new driveway you install will also possess similar characteristics.
The installation of the base material beneath the asphalt provides the foundation for the overall structure. A good base will also ensure that water is channeled to the right direction and that the compaction is stable enough. Asphaltic material never fully hardens. If the base is soft, unlevel or has depressions, the new driveway will have an outer surface that has depressions and upheavals.
The main task starts when the preparation stage is complete. Aggregation facilitates the firmly holding of the asphaltic particles so that no weather condition or external factor can manage to cause damage to the road course easily. When asphaltic pavement is laid, a vibrating roller drum should be used to smooth the road. The asphaltic paving may be destroyed by some agents and conditions which affect the asphalt negatively.
When subjected to heavy weights such the masses of mammoth trucks and trailers, the asphaltic paving material weakens and it may split causing potholes to arise. Cracks in asphaltic surfaces are a great setback to the pavement stability as they allow water to enter into the surface and drain deep down into the base. When the pavings are constructed inappropriately in such a way that inhibits drainage of water, asphalt may get spoilt by suspended water on the surface.
Excessive loading especially by the heavy trucks are the main factors that contribute to the worsening of the asphaltic paving surfaces. Either way, a pavement having a very thin base may fail to accommodate the heavy loads of truck and weighty vehicles. Water penetrating from the surface can get into the base course and cause troubles. The poor drainage may exacerbate the awful situation of roads. Automobile and trucks which spill oil and gasoline on the pavements may also soften the asphaltic material and cause it to breakup.
It is from cracks that potholes are formed. When these potholes merge, they cause a pavement to lose its shape and resemble a dusty footpath. This is what happens with alligator cracks. Repairing such roads is usually a tall order. However, pothole formation can be avoided if only the roads are maintained properly.
