The multi-step process generally follows the same steps every time:
Excavation and Removal of Existing Material
In order to clear a space for new surface to be installed, any existing blacktop or concrete has to be broken down and removed using a number of large machines. The removed pieces and fragments can be recycled and turned in to new bitumen.
Grading
In order to ensure proper water drainage, the install site must be appropriately graded and sloped. Using a number of different tools, proper grading allows for water to run off in a safe manner. Otherwise, poor drainage can lead to cracks, holes, and other issues.
Base Course
The integrity of pavement is only as good as its base course, also known as a subbase. Subbase provides the support needed to hold up the other layers, as well as a barrier that protects against freezing and thawing. Proper compaction of the subbase creates the stability required for long-lasting durability.
Binder Course
A loosely compacted conglomerate of fragments is mixed with oil to strengthen the new surface.
Installation
The layer of fresh butumen is installed over the base courses. The top layer is the combination of smaller fragments, oil, and sand that create a beautiful black surface course.
Transitions
In most cases, new pavement has to lay up against other existing surfaces. These areas require transitions, also called butt joints, provide a transition between the old and new surfaces. The grading and water run-off in these areas must be considered to ensure proper drainage.
Final Compaction and Smoothing
When all prior steps have been completed, a final compaction and smoothing is done to remove and remaining raised or bumpy areas.
