About Asphalt Road Works

Asphalt paving is more complicated than most people realize. If you have ever driven by a site where crews are installing new pavement, you might have had the impression that the crew needed merely to roll the material deposited by the dump trucks. However, numerous steps preceded the rolling machines final pass. Whether they are building an entirely new road, installing an asphalt overlay or reconstructing an aged pavement, asphalt contractors must follow a strategic process to ensure quality results.

Transport and mobility are a key part of today society. Roads must be durable and safe otherwise they present a danger to their users and the environment, as well as increasing repair costs. However, because they are exposed to varying (and extreme) conditions it is not easy to construct and maintain strong and durable roads. Also, the quality of components in road products, especially bitumen, can vary widely.

Our road construction services help you to understand the behavior of road materials in relation to expected loads and deterioration mechanisms. We have the experience and expertise to test and assess the performance and durability of road materials and products.

Road construction services provides assessment and improvement of asphalt properties, determination of asphalt component quality and suitability (bitumen, aggregates also secondary), development of new road products, including rollpave and road materials, assessment of damage to (overheated) asphalt, laboratory testing of bitumen, including composition (PAH and rheology/viscosity), assessment/testing of expansion joints, determination of the maintenance condition of existing roads, drawing up subsequent maintenance/repair plans, service life predictions, controls of road mixture designs and auditing/inspection of road product application.
