Case Study 

Mill and Overlay of Parking Lot at Reagan National Airport

This video is of our asphalt crew doing night work at the office buildings at Reagan National Airport. Most of the work at Reagan National has to be night work due to the high volume of traffic coming in and out of the airport during the daytime hours. In this process we use a Wirtgen 1200 milling machine to grind the existing layer of deteriorated asphalt surface course to a predetermined depth; in this case it is a removal and replacement of the top two inches of asphalt.

Once we remove the asphalt, we will pave the parking lot with a new two inch layer of 9.5 mm asphalt surface course. Once we spread the new layer of asphalt at a uniform layer of two inches, we compact the asphalt with a Ingersoll Rand roller to provide a smooth surface for future traffic.
