ASPHALT MILLING


Gary Ingram Grading and Paving provides asphalt milling services throughout the State of Alabama on most of its projects. The process of asphalt milling may look easy but in truth it takes proper training and well maintained equipment to do it properly. Customers and agencies choose asphalt milling for several reasons. Asphalt milling may be performed to ensure proper drainage by removing irregularities in the existing pavement. In most cases, however, asphalt milling is performed at prescribed depths to economically remove the old, cracked and worn pavement and therefore provide room for a new pavement surface. This process prevents an increase in the existing pavement elevations. An increase in elevation could result in the adjustment of curbs and structures. Preventing this provides cost savings to the customer. Additionally all materials are properly transported to approved recycling facilities where a percentage of it is used in the manufacture of new asphalt. With access to a fleet of milling machines we are able to accomplish whatever specific milling task is required. Our machines range from 7 foot wide cuts down to 2 foot cuts. Depths can vary from 1 inch to 12 inches based on site requirements and the project specifications.

We specialize in paving the following types of projects: Highway/Interstate, Municipal Road, New Development, Parking Lots, Trails and more.


In addition to asphalt paving, Gary Ingram Grading and Paving offers ongoing maintenance to asphalt surfaces. Asphalt maintenance is incredibly important in ensuring the longevity of a surface. Neglect, resulting in water and chemical penetration, produces surface cracks, holes and damage to the sub-grade.


Below are some of the asphalt services we offer throughout the State of Alabama.


Asphalt Repair


When an asphalt surface begins to crack, chemicals and water infiltrate the material which can result in additional deterioration of the asphalt pavement. Many asphalt surfaces form cracks with age of varying sizes. The smaller cracks can be treated easily with crack repair services. This maintenance option simply helps owners buy time between costly asphalt replacement projects.


Asphalt Resurfacing


Resurfacing is an alternative to removing and replacing a section of asphalt. Often, this maintenance option is a less costly alternative to repaving that same section. A Gary Ingram Grading and Paving professional can help you determine, based on the current condition of the pavement, whether resurfacing or replacing a section of asphalt would be more economical. Much of this decision is based on whether the sub-grade and asphalt layers are still largely intact.


Tar and Gravel


Placing a liquid emulsion, or “sealant,” over an asphalt base helps seal and protect the surface of your asphalt project. This seal coating helps reduce potential wear and tear from chemicals and water that would otherwise be absorbed into the asphalt’s surface.


Asphalt Overlay


An asphalt overlay consists of paving a second layer of asphalt over an existing layer. Overlaying is often done when the existing asphalt is in an overall good condition, but may be developing problem areas. In areas where extensive cracking, crumbling or sinking has occurred, pieces may need to first be cut out and patched before a new layer can be paved



RECYCLED ASPHALT SHINGLES (RAS)


Approximately 11 million tons of shingles are land-filled each year. Gary Ingram Grading and Paving has diverted thousands of tons of asphalt shingles from the waste stream and helped put them to recycled use. By reclaiming the formerly wasted asphalt-cement contained in these shingles, we can reduce the asphalt cement costs, improve the quality of their product, and help reduce our nations dependency on foreign sources of oil. The composition of shingles makes them an especially appropriate material for use in asphalt pavements. Shingles are typically composed of 25 to 30 percent asphalt cement, 40 to 60 percent hard aggregate contained on the 30 and 60 sieves and 3 to 12 percent fiber. All of these ingredients are routinely used in hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements. Our knowledge, experience and customized equipment have helped make us one of the leading RAS providers in the State of Alabama.



RECYCLED ASPHALT PAVEMENT / RAP CRUSHING


Recycling excavated asphalt on construction sites, or at designated stockpiles, producing a “RAP” or sub base product. We also recycle waste asphalt at manufacturing plants, for reuse as “RAP.” We recycle millings, as well as excavated or waste products from asphalt plants, and producing “specific sizes” of “RAP” products, for reuse, at higher percentages in the asphalt mixes, and with greater quality control. We also offer recycling on full-depth asphalt roadways and / or shoulders, converting the excavation into “specific sizes” of “RAP” products, handling the material only once for reuse in high quality asphalt mixes.
