Cold Milling / Planing

Cold Planing typically removes 1″ – 4″ of surface asphalt or 1″ – 2″ of concrete allowing for the application of a thin overlay or wearing surface, It preserves ancillary structures (e.g. curb and gutter) but allows improvements to the grade and surface of the pavement section.

When used for full roadway reconstruction, cold milling is also capable of removing up to 12 inches of paving material and base in a single pass. Another application is for slot cutting of only badly deteriorated sections of roadway – then full depth paving to restore an otherwise good road.

A significant benefit of cold milling is that the milled material can usually be recycled and used on other projects as compactable base or recycled asphalt pavement.
