Pavement Rehabilitation Techniques
Pavement rehabilitation involves restoring or improving existing roads to extend their lifespan and ensure safety. Techniques include milling (removing the top layer), overlaying (adding new layers of asphalt), and patching damaged areas. Sometimes, deeper repairs like full-depth replacement are necessary for severely worn pavement. These methods address issues like cracking, potholes, and rutting, enhancing ride quality and durability without building a new road from scratch. The choice of technique depends on the pavement’s condition, traffic load, and budget, aiming to optimize performance and minimize future maintenance costs.
