Asphalt is used in laying road communications, patching and major repairs of roads, sidewalks, platforms, in landscaping streets and other territories in Tashkent and the Tashkent region. The material is indispensable in solving almost all road problems.
The thickness of the asphalt surface, which can reach up to 30 centimeters, depends on the purpose and operational characteristics of the paved area. And the quality of the finished coating and how long it will last depends on asphalt concrete — its type and composition, as well as on compliance with the technological process, proper organization of asphalting work and its conscientious implementation. That's why it's so important to contact only professionals. Modern machinery, asphalt compaction rollers and dump trucks are currently being used to lay asphalt.
The asphalting process
It consists of several stages. First of all, preparatory work is carried out related to cleaning the surface for asphalt. After that, the road base is covered with dry rubble and covered with a special fixing compound. Bitumen and dry crushed stone are poured over this layer. During the certification stage, the paved surface is leveled using an asphalt roller.
Private specialists and road construction companies registered in the "Asphalting" category provide the following services:
- Asphalting of roads of any importance;
- Laying of asphalt and asphalt chips (secondary asphalt granulate) on territories and sites owned by enterprises and private buildings;
- Complete comprehensive road construction;
- Asphalting of pedestrian zones, bike paths, and crosswalks;
- Asphalting of house territories and yards;
- Asphalting parking lots;
- Dimple repair;
- Installing curbs and laying paving slabs.
Varieties of asphalt mixtures:
Hot asphalt. It is used in the construction of highways. The material can withstand high loads, as it is endowed with high physical and mechanical characteristics. Installation work using hot asphalt must not be carried out at an air temperature of less than +5°C. Before pouring, the mixture is heated to 120 ° C. At such a high heating temperature, asphalt does not lose its characteristics, and as a result, a durable asphalt concrete coating is obtained. After installation, the surface must be compacted.Cold asphalt. This type of mixture has low physico-mechanical properties and is used in carrying out pit repairs of roads, as well as in asphalting small areas and footpaths. Cold asphalt can be laid even at sub-zero temperatures, as the mixture itself does not need to be heated, due to special solvents that dilute bitumen.
Cast asphalt. This type is a type of hot asphalt concrete. It has high physical and mechanical characteristics and does not require sealing. Specialists heat the cast asphalt to 190-230 ° C, pour the mixture over the surface, after which, during the cooling process, it itself gains the necessary strength and density.
