Terms Used

To better serve you, we have listed the following explanations of the terms used in our estimate.

Bituminous Concrete : Asphalt or “Blacktop”

If 2 1/2″ or less is specified, it will be installed in one course. If over 2 1/2″, two separate courses will be used. All compaction is accomplished by a 10-ton vibratory roller and a 2-ton finish roller to obtain optimum compaction. Our heavy-duty road equipment assures a longer lasting pavement, and requires up to 30% more material than many smaller contractor’s equipment.

Processes Aggregate

Base material consisting of gravel, broken stone, or reclaimed material. This material is spread using a grader. It is then compacted thoroughly and regraded adding more material and compacted a second time to its maximum density.

Concrete

“Cement Concrete” is 4000 PSI (pounds per square inch). While more costly than lesser strength concrete, we find it much longer lasting and more resistant to damage from de-icers.

All excess materials are removed from the site unless otherwise specified. We barricade the pavement upon completion. Concrete work is covered with poly sheeting. The completed work is left neat and clean.

Our equipment is upgraded regularly and maintained in good working order. All our equipment is suitable for heavy-duty road construction, which guarantees you a long lasting pavement.

Concrete:

Only heavy-duty structures and piping are used. We overbuild drainage systems for longer life.

All excess materials are removed from the site unless otherwise specified. We barricade the work site upon completion.

Our equipment is upgraded regularly and maintained in good working order. We encourage your comments regarding our workmanship.

Reclamation

From yard drains and catch basins to separators and detention systems. We can create a solution to your storm or sub surface water problems. We use only heavy duty structures and piping for long life.

Reclamation:

Grind and reclaim is an environmentally friendly process that recycles your existing pavement by pulverizing it and mixing it with the existing base. A large machine makes several passes to accomplish this. We will add additional processed aggregate to the mix if deemed necessary.
