Full Depth Reclamation/Pulverization
Pulverization that rebuilds damaged pavement from below up.
Rebuild Damaged Pavement From the Ground Up
When asphalt is too far gone for surface repairs, you don't always have to start from scratch. Full depth reclamation, also called pulverization, breaks up your existing pavement and blends it with the base material below to create a strong, stable foundation for new asphalt. At Southern Pro Paving, we deliver reclamation services across West Georgia that turn worn out pavement into the base for something built to last.
Why Full Depth Reclamation Works
Traditional repaving covers up problems. Full depth reclamation solves them. By pulverizing the old asphalt and mixing it back into the existing base, we create a thick, uniform foundation that's stronger than the original and ready for fresh pavement. It's faster than full removal, more affordable than starting over, and better for the environment because nothing goes to waste.
Our Reclamation Process
1. Site Evaluation We assess the condition of your existing pavement and base to confirm full depth reclamation is the right solution.
2. Pulverization Our equipment grinds the existing asphalt and the top layer of base material into a uniform mixture, creating a fresh, strong foundation.
3. Grading and Compaction We grade the pulverized material to ensure proper drainage and compact it thoroughly to lock in stability and strength.
4. Stabilization if Needed For especially soft or unstable bases, we can incorporate cement, lime, or other stabilizers to add long term strength.
5. New Asphalt Installation Once the foundation is set, we lay fresh hot mix asphalt for a finished surface built to perform for years.
