Parking Lots

WHEN IT COMES TO PAVING, WE KNOW IT ALLPavement is tough, durable and is often used for parking lots and high traffic areas. With our years of experience, we know asphalt doesn't last forever. Weather and constant traffic will eventually cause some wear and tear, that's why you want it done expertly and with the highest quality asphalt. Using our quality paving services, you will get a longer lifespan of your pavement. We work with engineering and testing firms regularly to test the compaction and moisture content of the gravel base and asphalt to guarantee we produce the highest quality services.

STARTING THE PAVING PROCESS
The first step is RAP Asphalt Paving doing a thorough asphalt analysis and evaluation at the location of the lot. We then calculate and go through a comprehensive estimate for the paving or repairs of the said parking lot.
RAP Asphalt Paving has all its own equipment and a fantastic crew of hardworking individuals to complete any paving job quickly and correctly. A solid foundation is crucial, so the first thing we start with is base preparation. All soft or wet material is to be removed or allowed to dry. Sometimes a stabilizing or a separation fabric is needed and will be recommended before we begin building up the gravel base.
BASE AND GRADING
We ensure our parking lots are built to last (on average 20-30 years or longer). To do this, we compact the proper amount of gravel; typically, it is 300mm or a foot of crushed gravel. Like any construction services, with no solid foundation, the chances of it lasting a long time are low. Our crew uses track and skid steers, or bulldozers to spread the gravel correctly. Using a grader, we fine-tune, ensuring the surface will drain as it's supposed to. The base is then watered and compacted so we can get 98-100 percent compaction.
ASPHALT LAYING AND COMPACTING PROCESS
RAP Asphalt and Paving have all their own dump trucks and vehicles, to bring the asphalt to the site so the job can get done quickly and smoothly. The most important part of the pavement laying process is compacting the asphalt. With all the rollers we have at our disposal, we ensure we get the correct compaction and provide a durable and robust finish. Our crew tamps the edges of the pavement at a 45-degree angle to add strength and better support for the weight of vehicles.
