• Drainage improvements such as underdrain installation or new catch basins
• Catch basin repairs or replacement
• Grading and compaction of process stone
• Binder and surface course replacement
• Curbing and driveway apron replacement

Road Pulverization

This process is used on roads which have a poor road surface but good base materials and will include the following:

• Bituminous and process stone pulverization and reuse
• Drainage improvements to the roadway
• Catch basin repairs or replacement
• Grading and compaction of pulverized material
• Binder and surface course replacement

Mill & Overlay

This process is used on roads which have a good base material and marginal surface course and will include the following:

• Surface milling of the bituminous concrete
