Why Pavement Deteriorates

The asphalt life cycle consists of production, transportation, placement, and maintenance. Each stage is key to ensuring long-lasting, quality pavement. Asphalt is made by heating aggregates like sand, gravel, and crushed rock with bitumen. The mix is then transported in specialized trucks to maintain the proper temperature. Upon arrival, it's spread and compacted on-site with pavers and rollers, ensuring durability against traffic and weather. Regular maintenance, such as crack sealing and sealcoating, is essential to extend the life of the asphalt and prevent costly repairs. By managing these stages carefully, you ensure reliable and durable pavement.
