EDGE MILLING

What is Edge Milling?

Edge milling, also known as shoulder milling or strip milling, is a specific application of asphalt milling that focuses on removing the deteriorated or damaged edges or shoulders of a roadway. This process is particularly useful for restoring the sides of a road or pavement, including the portion where the road meets the shoulder or curb.

Benefits of Edge Milling

  • Time - overlaying the road is a quick process
  • Improved safety for pedestrians
  • Better pavement performance
  • Enhanced drainage
  • Cost effective

Roadway Safety Enhancement

Edge milling helps restore a smooth and uniform transition between the road surface and the shoulder or curb. Roads can become uneven, cracked, or deteriorated, posing safety hazards to drivers. This reduces the risk of accidents and vehicle damage.

Improved Road Drainage

Properly milled road edges can ensure that water drains away from the road surface effectively. This helps prevent water from pooling on the road, which can lead to hydroplaning and road damage.

Enhanced Road & Parking Lot Aesthetics

Edge milling contributes to a more visually appealing environment by smoothing out uneven pavement edges and creating clean transitions between the roadway or parking surface and adjacent areas such as curbs, sidewalks, or landscaping, edge milling contributes to a more visually appealing environment.

Extended Asphalt Lifespan

Addressing deteriorated or uneven pavement edges helps prevent water infiltration and the development of edge-related pavement distresses, such as cracking and rutting. This approach ensures that the entire asphalt surface remains structurally sound and properly drained, reducing the likelihood of premature deterioration- extending the overall lifespan of the pavement.
