Site excavation is done when damaged asphalt and sub base must be removed from the site. This process creates a smooth, uniform surface for the new pavement.
Rabine Paving recommends excavation if the parking lot has not been properly maintained and serious issues are identified. These issues include: faded appearance, cracks, fractures and potholes, puddling, crumbling, water drainage issues, water damage and vulnerable substrate.
Excavation on small sites can be done using picks, shovels and wheelbarrows. Larger scale excavation projects will require bulldozers and backhoes. Dirt, clay, and aggregate are site excavation material types.
