PAVING COMPANIES
Paving Equipment and How They Work Together
The process begins with a milling machine, which removes old or damaged pavement to create a clean surface for new material.
Next, a motor grader smooths and levels the milled surface to ensure proper slope and drainage.
A sweeper truck then cleans up debris and dust, preparing the area for a strong bond with the new asphalt.
After that, an asphalt paver lays down a fresh, even layer of hot mix asphalt according to the desired thickness.
Finally, a vibratory roller compacts the new asphalt to eliminate air pockets and create a smooth, long-lasting surface.
Five Common Equipment Type for Paving Companies
Milling Machine – Removes existing asphalt layers to prepare for resurfacing.
Asphalt Paver – Lays down hot asphalt evenly over the prepared surface.
Vibratory Roller – Compacts the asphalt to create a smooth, dense, and durable finish.
Motor Grader – Levels and shapes the base or subgrade to ensure proper slope and drainage.
Sweeper Truck – Cleans loose debris and dust from the surface to improve asphalt bonding.
