Can An Existing Surface Be Resurfaced?
An existing surface can often be resurfaced if the foundation remains structurally sound.
Resurfacing involves cleaning, repairing cracks or potholes, and applying a new layer of tarmacadam or asphalt to restore the surface.
This process extends the lifespan of the existing pavement and enhances its appearance.
In cases where the base is compromised, full reconstruction may be necessary to ensure long-term durability. A professional assessment can determine whether resurfacing is a suitable option.
What Does The Macadam Surfacing Installation Process Involve?
The macadam surfacing installation process begins with site preparation, which includes excavation, ground levelling, and the installation of a compacted sub-base.
A base course of crushed stone is applied before laying hot tarmacadam or asphalt, which is evenly spread and compacted for a smooth, durable finish.
Additional features such as drainage, kerbing, and line markings may be incorporated depending on the project’s requirements. The surface is then allowed to cure and settle, ensuring long-term strength and performance.
The duration of installation depends on the project size, with most surfaces completed within a few days to a few weeks.
