We start with site analysis and foundation building—measuring, marking, excavating faulty material if needed, and constructing a properly graded, compacted aggregate base. This foundation work is critical in Stockholm because soil conditions and drainage patterns vary significantly across the area.
Next comes hot mix asphalt application, where heated asphalt is distributed uniformly by paving machines to meet engineered thickness requirements. We don’t rush this step—temperature and timing matter for long-term performance.
The final step is proper compaction using heavy rollers to press asphalt particles together and reduce air voids. Achieving target density is essential for strength, stability, and resistance to water infiltration—a major factor in NJ climates. We pay close attention to rolling patterns, asphalt temperature during compaction, and roller weight to achieve optimal density.
