Asphalt Aggregate (Grindings)
Applications & Uses
Asphalt Aggregate Grindings
Asphalt aggregate grindings are recycled materials produced by milling or grinding up old asphalt pavement. This process creates a granular product that retains the durable, weather-resistant qualities of original asphalt, making it a sustainable and cost-effective option for various construction needs.
The grindings attribute means the material consists of irregular, compactable particles, which are ideal for creating stable surfaces. Unlike new asphalt, grindings do not require heating or binding agents, making installation simpler and more environmentally friendly. Common uses include temporary or permanent driveways, parking areas, road base layers, and patching potholes. They are also popular for farm roads and pathways due to their affordability and ease of maintenance.
Pros of asphalt aggregate grindings include excellent compaction, good drainage, and reduced dust compared to finer materials. However, because the particles are not uniform, the finished surface may be rougher than traditional asphalt, and loose particles can migrate over time if not properly compacted. Overall, asphalt grindings offer a practical, eco-friendly solution for both residential and commercial projects seeking durability and value.
