New Construction Installation: Asphalt Paving Services in Utah
Installing asphalt during new construction is very different from repairing or resurfacing existing pavement. The process begins with raw ground and requires careful coordination between excavation, grading, base preparation, and paving. Morgan Pavement manages each phase in house, allowing us to maintain quality control and clear communication throughout the project.
We provide new construction asphalt paving for a wide range of industries, including retail developments, HOAs, state and local government facilities, education campuses, healthcare properties, storage facilities, private and residential projects, and religious institutions.
The Asphalt Installation Process
Below is a simplified overview of how asphalt is installed on new construction sites, explained in practical terms.
- Site evaluation and planning – Before any work begins, we review site plans, traffic needs, drainage requirements, and access points to ensure the pavement is designed for how the property will be used.
- Excavation and earthwork – Existing soil is removed or reshaped to reach the proper depth and elevation. This step creates space for the pavement structure and helps manage drainage.
- Grading and drainage preparation – The surface is graded to direct water away from buildings and paved areas. Proper slope at this stage prevents future pooling and pavement failure.
- Base installation and compaction – A strong aggregate base is installed and compacted. This layer supports the asphalt above it and is one of the most important factors in pavement lifespan.
- Asphalt placement – Hot asphalt is laid evenly across the prepared base. Thickness and material type are selected based on traffic load and site use.
- Compaction and finishing – The asphalt is compacted to achieve density and strength. Edges, transitions, and joints are carefully finished for smoothness and durability.
- Striping and final details – Once the surface has cured, striping, markings, and access features are added to complete the installation and prepare the site for use.
This process ensures the asphalt is installed correctly the first time, reducing the need for premature repairs.
