Asphalt Milling

Asphalt milling services in Waco, TX utilize advanced cold-planing technology to remove deteriorated pavement layers while preserving underlying structural integrity. Our milling operations employ state-of-the-art equipment capable of precise depth control and efficient material recycling. This process removes 1-4 inches of asphalt surface, creating a smooth, uniform base for overlays or complete reconstruction.

In Central Texas applications, milling addresses common issues like rutting, oxidation, and surface deterioration while recovering valuable asphalt material for reuse. The process uses carbide-tipped cutting drums that pulverize asphalt into reusable aggregate, reducing landfill waste and construction costs. Depth control systems ensure uniform removal, typically leaving behind a textured surface ideal for new asphalt bonding.

Milling operations include dust control measures essential in urban Waco areas, with water spray systems and vacuum collection maintaining air quality. We coordinate with traffic control plans to minimize disruption, often performing work during off-peak hours. The milled material can be recycled back into new asphalt mixes, achieving up to 30% recycled content in Central Texas projects.

Quality control includes elevation verification, cross-slope checking, and surface texture assessment to ensure proper overlay performance. We integrate milling with full-depth repairs, utility adjustments, and drainage improvements for comprehensive pavement restoration. Environmental benefits include reduced material consumption and lower carbon footprint compared to full reconstruction.

Our milling services support both rehabilitation and reconstruction projects, providing cost-effective solutions that extend pavement life while maintaining functionality during construction.
