Pulverizing & Full Depth Reclamation
Lenihan Paving & Excavating provides expert pulverizing and full-depth reclamation (FDR) services across New York. These techniques are highly effective solutions for rehabilitating and repaving damaged or deteriorated roads, parking lots, driveways, and other paved surfaces.
Pulverizing is the process of breaking down the existing asphalt pavement into small, manageable pieces, creating a solid base for the new layer of asphalt to be laid over. This method is cost-effective and efficient, particularly when resurfacing large areas. It also helps improve drainage and reduces the need for expensive complete removal and replacement of the existing surface.
Full-depth reclamation (FDR) takes pulverizing a step further. This process involves the complete recycling of the entire pavement structure, mixing the existing asphalt with the underlying base material, and stabilizing it. FDR creates a strong and durable foundation for new paving layers, offering long-term durability and enhanced structural integrity.
Both pulverizing and FDR are ideal for roadways, parking lots, and industrial sites that require significant repairs but do not need complete reconstruction. These methods are environmentally friendly, as they reuse existing materials, reducing waste and minimizing the need for new resources.
At Lenihan Paving & Excavating, we have the equipment, knowledge, and experience to handle pulverizing and full-depth reclamation projects of all sizes.
