Pulverizing/Road Reclamation
Existing asphalt roads, paths, parking lots and gravel roads that are deteriorating can be economically repaired through the process of pulverizing.
Tollestrup Construction Inc. uses road reclaimers to pulverize the deteriorating asphalt and mix it with the underlying base creating a new and often superior base structure. During the pulverizing process, an additive (sometimes referred to as a binding agent) can be blended with the pulverized material to act as a binder for the new material or for road stabilization and dust control on gravel roads. The blended material is then replaced and compacted on the roadway, ready for resurfacing.
With pulverizing, existing raw materials are reused and little if any new gravel is required. This significantly reduces transportation costs and the growing demand on our non-renewable resources. In addition the economic advantages realized, the process can increase the structural integrity of the roadway by increasing the granular thickness of the aggregate base.
